We love camping at Holter Lake however I will pick a different site next time since we were downwind from the garbage and the bathrooms and it was AWFUL! I don't know if the garbage dumpsters can be moved but they were VERY RIPE after the weekend and 90 degree temperatures. I think we were in site #27 (or #29).

The camp was clean. We have a 40’ 5th wheel that easily fit in the space allotted. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful. You can drive to the Beartooth Wildlife management area and there is also a road going up to the Helena National Forest. Both roads are very rough in places. There are also rough camp sites in both areas. We rode our e-bikes to Wolf Creek for ice cream and laundry. One thing to note - there is no place to dump the rv, but there is a place in Cascade.

Campsites are great. Fire restrictions were updated.
AGAIN, NO FISH CLEANING STATION OPEN! Both at lower Holter and Log Gulch campgrounds.
There are no COVID 19 restrictions at the campgrounds that would prevent the fish cleaning stations to be open.

Beautiful, clean and well taken care of campground. The lake is deep, large and gorgeous. This is the perfect place to stay if you want to boat to the Gates of The Mountains, which is a 20 mile trip down of wide, winding river and well worth the visit! The boat ramp/parking area is very busy, but the first come, first serve free boat slips was such a nice added bonus. I would highly recommend camping here. One thing I would note, is that if you have a large motor coach, I think that driving and parking it here would be difficult.
