| Description: five campsites on Gipsy Lake. Fishing for rainbow trout, hand launch for non-motorized boats. A hiking trail goes south from the campground into the Big Belt Mountains, past several spectacular mountain lakes, to an area called the Needles, for its odd rock formations. This area was known for its extremely productive gold mines in the 19th century, & historic mines are near the campground. Motorized travel on area trails is prohibited on some area trails to protect the wildlife.

Season: June 15 - September 15.
