As with all PSK knap-ins, everything is free. This is a family event. There is a paved parking lot for RV's (up to 30 feet), (no hookups) and vehicles. There will be lots of room for tents under the trees or under the stars. Vehicles need to be in the parking lot. Gear will need to be carried a short distance to campsites.

Because of the current health issues and questions we will not be providing food and will adhere to the current CDC guidelines - whatever they may be at the time. If you are not yet comfortable with group settings, we totally understand.

If you plan to attend or have questions, Erik Pearson (406) 777-7121. Let us know number attending and if you will be staying at Larry Creek, tenting, or camping elsewhere. A list of alternative hotels and RV parks is available from Erik.

RV's over 30 feet and overflow Rv's, use the Charles Waters Forestry Campground - first come, first served - about a mile from Larry Creek Campground, in the same complex - cost is about $10/night or $5 with Sr. Nat'l Park Pass. No hook-ups, individual camping spaces.
