Cliff Point Campground

Cliff Point Campground is located in southwestern Montana on the shoreline of scenic Cliff Lake. It is approximately 43 miles south of Ennis and 35 miles west of Yellowstone National Park. Each of the 6 camping units is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring and all reservations are made via recreation.gov. There is a centrally located vault toilet and drinking water tap. Some of the sites have partial shade. We recommend trailer lengths do not exceed 16'. 

There is a boat launch at this site and easy access for fishing.

An undeveloped natural-surface boat launch is very close by and the lake has a no-wake speed limit. Visitors enjoy fishing, boating, and nearby hiking and ATV trails. All campsites are reservation only. With some tight curves and small turn-around loop, the campground may not be suitable for long trailers or RVs. Snow may hamper access during early and late seasons.
