About Branham Lakes Campground and Picnic Area
The Branham Lakes Campground is a nice rustic campground on 3 acres. At almost 9,000 feet, this campground is one of the highest places you can drive to in Southwest Montana. There is a day-use picnic area here, ADA accessible toilet, water in spring/summer, as well as a boat launch and fishing access area. Although the road to get here is a dirt road that is rocky in places and may not be suitable for low-profile vehicles, and trailers are not recommended, the alpine meadows and views of the Tobacco Root mountains are worth the trek. The campground’s six sites rest along the lakeshore, surrounding by the beauty of nature.
