Hood Creek Campground

Hosted by USDA Forest Service

New listing

Hood Creek Campground is located next to scenic Hyalite Reservoir, on the Bozeman Ranger District of the Gallatin National Forest, 17 miles south of the city of Bozeman, Montana. The campground is situated on the banks of the reservoir at an elevation of 6,700 feet. Some campsites lie in open meadows along the shoreline, while others are located among scattered pine and fir trees. Hyalite Reservoir offers boating, canoeing and fishing, with anglers after Yellowstone cutthroat, Arctic grayling and brook trout. Hyalite Creek offers fishing as well. Many hiking trails are found in Hyalite Canyon, including the popular Hyalite Peak Trail. This 7.5-mile one-way trail gains 3,450 feet in elevation as it climbs past numerous waterfalls to the beautiful Hyalite Lake and Hyalite Peak. Climbing is popular in the area. The campground offers sites for both overnight camping and day-use picnicking. A group area (site 28) for overnight camping can accommodate up to 80 people. Picnic tables and campfire rings are provided, as are vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection. A boat ramp is located on-site. Roads and parking spurs within the campground are gravel.
