About this campground

Nestled deep in the wilderness of northwestern Montana, Yaak Falls Campground offers an intimate escape just 16 miles from Troy along the scenic Yaak Highway 508. This hidden gem features seven thoughtfully spaced campsites, each equipped with sturdy picnic tables and traditional fire rings perfect for evening gatherings under the stars. While the campground embraces a back-to-basics approach with vault toilet facilities, it delivers an authentic Montana camping experience where the sounds of rushing water and rustling pines provide nature's own soundtrack.
Yaak Falls Campground offers primitive tent camping.
