Ninko Cabin

Ninko Cabin is a public campground in the rivers, reservoirs and mountain lakes of Montana, managed by USDA Forest Service.

Sites here can be reserved in advance, and the campground books up on summer weekends and holidays.

This is a Public campground for tents and RVs.

Reserve sites ahead through the campground's reservation system; some loops may hold first-come sites.

Fees:

The rental fee is $50 per night and there is a maximum stay of three consecutive nights with a total of seven days per calendar year.

Federal Pass discounts do not apply.

Summer is the heart of the season here — warm days, long evenings and the fullest amenities, but also the biggest crowds. Late spring and early fall are quieter and often more comfortable; many sites close for winter once the cold sets in.

Ninko Cabin is reached by public road; see the campground's posted directions for the final approach.

Some accessible facilities are available.

Book through the official reservation site linked on this page well ahead of summer weekends.

On-site and nearby you'll find Wildlife Viewing, Winter Sports, Hiking, Camping, Historic & Cultural Site.

The surrounding country supports the classic the rivers, reservoirs and mountain lakes of Montana mix of outdoor recreation.

Check the weather and any fire restrictions before you go, carry plenty of water, and be bear- and wildlife-aware where applicable. Cell service is often limited at campgrounds — download maps and tell someone your plans.

Practice Leave No Trace: pack out all trash, keep a clean site, and store food securely where wildlife is present. Observe posted quiet hours, fire restrictions and pet rules — campfire bans are common in dry summer months.

Reserve early for summer weekends and holidays, or arrive midday on a weekday for first-come sites. Bring layers, a headlamp, and your own water if potability isn't confirmed, and double-check the rig-length and hookup situation before towing in.
