Harry's Flat is another of the famous Rock Creek canyon campgrounds
in the Lolo National Forest about 17 mile south of Interstate
90 on Rock Creek road.
Please remember that Rock Creek road eventually turns into a very
narrow and bumpy unpaved road. Most of the campgrounds along the
unpaved section of Rock Creek road are tough to access via an
RV. However, Harry's Flat is a very wide open campground with
big loops and turnarounds that is actually rather RV friendly.
The real trick is getting there. Personally, I wouldn't do it,
but there are some who would take the risk.
Harry's Flat campground is a really pretty campground
set in a huge old growth ponderosa pine forest. It sits between
Dalles campground and Bitterroot Flat campground in the classic
Rock Creek canyon section. Privacy on many of the sites is some
of the best we've ever seen on federal public land. The sites
are really huge, especially the ones bordering right up to Rock
Creek. There are rows of young pine and bushes in-between some
of the sites offering even more privacy. This is a great spot
for people interested in doing some fishing. Nothing like waking
up, unzipping your tent and being five feet from the river you
plan to fish that day! Also of note is that Harry's Flat campground
is near the southern boundary of the 28,135 acre Welcome Creek
Wilderness. In fact, the wilderness boundary is the land on the
other side of Rock Creek at the campground. This is a good spot
for those seeking a little bit of adventure while having a great
camp site. The only negative is there may be some slight road
noise on Rock Creek road. It shouldn't be too bad though.
