Fourth of July Campground
Located along the Scenic Byway between the communities of Wise River and Polaris, MT, the Fourth of July Campground has 6 campsites, made of compacted gravel with paved interior access trails. Water from a hand pump, fire-rings, picnic tables, and ADA accessible restrooms are provided. However, there are no garbage services, so remember to pack it in, pack it out. The maximum recommended trailer length for the area is 30 feet. Pets are allowed if on a leash. There is a 16 day camping limit. This is a nicely outfitted campground in an idyllic setting, which is open and sunny.
