Camping at Georgetown Lake Montana

Cable Mountain Campground is located 3 miles north of Georgetown Lake in Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. The campground stretches across 5 wooded acres along the North Fork of Flint Creek. Lodgepole Pine, Douglas-fir, and Engelmann Spruce provide ample shade. This campground is well situated for campers to enjoy the wide range of recreational activities in the Georgetown Lake area.  There are 11 first-come, first-served campsites, and the fee to camp is $15 per night.

Visitors are required to physically arrive at the campground to purchase and claim a site. Once on-site, you may be able to pay for your campsite(s) by scanning a QR code using the Recreation.gov mobile app, and the Scan and Pay feature. If this option is available, you will need to first download the free Recreation.gov mobile app https://www.recreation.gov/mobile-app prior to your arrival as some remote areas have limited or no cellular service.
