The Great Outdoors

RV camping at Campground St. Regis is an incredible experience for outdoor lovers.

The Hiawatha Trail System, which is a noted trail for hiking and mountain biking, has a trailhead in the area. This trail is relatively easy and follows the path of a former railroad. Driving farther south into Lolo National Forest, you'll find more challenging trails with stunning views, including the Heart Lake Trail, Fish Lake Trail, Cache Creek Trail, and more.The Clark Fork River runs through the campground area, and it is a popular destination for fly fishing.
