Stony Creek Campground
The place
This campground is located 19 miles west of Philipsburg off the Rock Creek Road (Forest Road 102) and contains 11 sites. The area is known for its high, rugged and beautiful mountain scenery, as well as the variety of wildlife that makes its home there, including bighorn sheep, elk, moose, deer, mountain lions, and bears. Fishing is available in Rock Creek and Stony Creek and anglers may find plentiful brook, brown, and rainbow trout. Much of the stream is protected from bull or westslope cutthroat trout fishing to improve the fishery. Keep reading
It is illegal to target bull trout; if caught they must be released immediately with minimal handling. Big game hunting is possible in designated areas. Appropriate licensing is required to fish and hunt in Montana. Rock creek is a popular rafting and boating trip at appropriate water levels prior to July 1. A variety of hiking, mountain biking, ATV, and horseback riding trails as well as old roads climb into the steep drainages and canyons of the Bitterroot Range. Stony Lake trailhead is at the end of the road another 3 miles, and it is open to foot, horse, and bike travel. Guests also enjoy snowmobiling, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing in the area during the winter.
