Jumping Creek Campground

About

Jumping Creek Campground sits at an elevation of 5800 feet along US Highway 89 in the Little Belt Mountains 22 miles north of White Sulphur Springs. The 10 campsites are along Sheep Creek, which offers opportunity for fishing for brook and rainbow trout. The campground has multiple slots which can accommodate long trailers, up to a maximum length of 45 feet. Jumping Creek Campground is usually open late May through October. Nearby historic logging roads provide motorized access to the Smoky Mountain area. To the east on US Highway 89 is the trailhead to a scenic ATV trail which climbs Mizpah Peak. Please see Little Belt Mountains Motor Vehicle Use Map for location and closure dates. All campgrounds on the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest are first-come, first-served. Reservations are not available. Camping is limited to 16 consecutive days in one location. A campground fee is required. Please pay at the self-serve campground fee station. Campsites cannot be reserved by simply paying for the site; camper must be present.
