Moose Creek Flat Campground

Moose Creek Flat campground is a small, narrow campground sandwiched between U.S. 191 and the Gallatin River. This layout offers great river access, but also road noise from the busy highway. While you can tent camp at Moose Flat, it always seemed more like an RV campground to me due to the narrow design and the way RV's will stack up side by side. Tenters will not want to be in-between two large RV's only a few feet apart.



Those interested in fishing will have plenty of great access along the Gallatin river. The campsite side of the river has few trees allowing for easy backcasts. There is also a handicapped accessible fishing platform a the campground which is fantastic.

Due to the limited number of sites, this campground fills up incredibly fast on weekends and on weekdays during peak season. I would recommend that tenters take a look at the other campgrounds in the Gallatin Canyon stretch.
