Whether you're casting a line at dawn or conquering granite peaks by day, Langohr offers the perfect basecamp for your Montana mountain adventure.
Langohr Campground accommodates a mix of camping styles, including primitive tent camping and RV sites. A group picnic area is available for day use.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the dramatic seasonal transformations of the Montana high country at Langohr. Summer unveils its most welcoming face, with July bringing warm, sun-drenched days perfect for exploring every corner of this mountain paradise. As autumn approaches, crisp mornings give way to golden afternoons ideal for hiking. Winter transforms the landscape into a snow-covered wonderland, where frigid temperatures and powerful mountain winds create conditions best suited for the heartiest of cold-weather enthusiasts. Spring emerges slowly at this elevation, offering solitude and the chance to witness nature's gradual awakening.
ElevationPerched at 6,200 feet above sea level, Langohr Campground offers a refreshing escape from summer's heat while providing spectacular vantage points of the surrounding peaks. This elevation creates a unique microclimate where cool mountain breezes sweep through camp even on the warmest days, and where the thin, clear air makes stars appear close enough to touch. The altitude adds an invigorating quality to every breath and transforms simple morning coffee into a ritual accompanied by sweeping mountain vistas.
Natural Features and SceneryWake to the melodic sounds of Hyalite Creek as it tumbles past your campsite, creating nature's perfect soundtrack for your mountain retreat. The campground artfully balances two distinct environments: sun-dappled meadows where wildflowers dance in summer breezes, and shaded groves where towering pines and firs provide natural shelter and privacy. This diverse landscape at 6,200 feet creates intimate camping experiences—whether you prefer the openness of meadow sites with expansive sky views or the cozy seclusion found beneath the evergreen canopy.
Geological RegionHyalite Canyon cradles Langohr Campground in a geological masterpiece within the Bozeman Ranger District of Gallatin National Forest. This remarkable landscape showcases nature's artistry through sweeping meadows that bloom with seasonal wildflowers, ancient stands of pine and fir that have weathered centuries, and the ever-present Hyalite Creek carving its path through the canyon floor. The surrounding peaks and ridges tell the story of millennia of geological forces, creating a dramatic backdrop that transforms with each shifting light throughout the day.
