Scotty Allen Upper, Middle, & Lower Boat Camps
Scotty Allen Upper, Middle, & Lower Boat Camps
Scotty Allen Upper, Middle, and Lower Boat Camps are designated boat-in campsites located at the 12-mile mark on the Smith River, accessible only by water during permitted float trips.
These three camps offer private, remote camping experiences with the Upper camp serving as a popular first-night stop, while the Lower camp is notably larger with better cover and fishing access, though it features a steep ridge hike to the bathroom facilities.
All three sites require a valid Smith River float permit obtained through Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks' competitive lottery system.
