Rock Creek frontage is a rarity. Undeveloped property with smooth access and good proximity to Red Lodge that is made available for camping -even more rare. View is beautiful.

Easy enough to find with a little help from Google. Lots of space with lots of big trees. Big time quite only interrupted by bird calls and songs. Friendly host Dan who’ll even set you up with a campfire. Short walk to restroom/showers. Water is hot and facilities are clean. All for a nice price. Thanks Dan. Definitely recommend.
