MONTANA | Piney Campground, Georgetown Lake

Over the 2009 Memorial Day weekend we traveled to one of our most favorite locations for fun family activities. We spent the holiday at Gem Mountain outside of Phillipsburg, MT. I've blogged about Gem Mountain in the past. We liked it there so much there that our family has decided to make it an annual trip,

We had hoped we could have camped in one of the Gem Mountain free campsites, but the campground was full when we arrived. We searched hard for a suitable campground and ended up finding Piney Campground located on the shores of Georgetown Lake about 20 miles from Gem Mountain.

Georgetown Lake is a great recreational area. In addition to camping; fishing, boating, and even windsurfing are activities chosen by outdoor enthusiasts. The nearest city to Georgetown Lake is the historic copper mining town of Anaconda about 18 miles West.

Piney Campground contains 49 sites and the season is from May 15th until September 15th.

Piney Campground is serene, and if you are among a few of the lucky ones to score a lakesite campsite, you'll wake up to the orange glow of morning sunshine reflecting off the glassy water. Imagine yourself sitting next to a sunrise campfire, drinking coffee and the only early morning sounds you may hear are the distance sounds of loons on the lake. Thats Piney campground.

We stayed at Piney Campground early in the season, the campground hadn't officially opened for the season, because there was alot of cleanup to do from the unusally heavy snow fall. Ppening season was delayed two weeks.    

This campground is definately on our list of return visits.
