Coulter Campground is a remote, boat-in-only primitive campground with 5 campsites on the east side of Upper Holter Lake in the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest, accessible via private boat from Gates of the Mountains Boat Club or Holter Dam area, or by hiking Trail #257.
The campground offers vault toilets and fire pits but no potable water, operating on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees and a 14-day maximum stay.
