Rock Garden Boat Camp

Rock Garden Boat Camp is a designated campsite along the Smith River float in Meagher County, Montana, located at river mile 6. 8 (with both Upper and Lower Rock Garden camp options available).

This camp sits in the scenic upper section of Smith River State Park where paddlers encounter some of Montana's oldest exposed geological formations dating back 520 million years, making it an ideal stop for both boaters and those interested in geology.

The camp provides access to the Smith River's popular 59-mile float corridor, which requires a permit and is the only stretch of river in Montana with this requirement.
