Devil's Elbow Recreation Site

Going Camping? Reserve your spot through recreation.gov

Devil's Elbow Campground on Hauser Lake offers a wealth of water-based recreation opportunities and is located about 15 miles east of Helena and adjacent to Clark’s Bay Day-use Area and Two Camps Vista Interpretive Site. This popular 42-unit campground is located mid-way along the shore of Hauser Lake. The lake (actually a reservoir) provides year-round opportunities for fishing (trout, walleye and kokanee salmon) along with excellent boating and wildlife viewing. Group camping reservations and reservations for Loop A are now available exclusively for reservations on recreation.gov. Other portions of the campground will remain as first-come, first-serve. https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/272276?q=Devil%27s%20Elbow%20Recreation%20Area
