There are currently no fees to enter the Gallatin National Forest in Montana. However, there are fees associated with the campgrounds in the forest. These fees vary by campground. Please refer to the camping page for more information on these fees.

Also, some areas may charge you to access them such as day use areas. An Interagency pass will cover these. If not, fees will vary on day use area.


Christmas tree permits are $5 a tree, limit two trees per household. These permits work forest-wide, but avoid campground areas and obvious places like trailheads. This can be done during November and December. You can pick up a Christmas tree permit at the ranger district offices.
Personal use firewood permits are also available, with a price of $6.25 per cord. There is a four cord minimum and a twelve cord maximum. You can only take dead and downed trees or standing dead trees unless specified otherwise. Six foot maximum length.

Image note: This is a shot looking into Big Timber Canyon of the Crazy Mountains from Big Timber Road. The color in the trees indicates the fall season, and there is a tinge of snow on the mountain tops. A very spectacular area in the charming and isolated Crazy Mountains. One thing I've noticed about this trip is to look out for cows and porcupines. What a strange combination.
