Galena Gulch Campground

Just off I5 and with NO water, garbage receptacles, power or Dump Station, this established campground is convenient, clean and well kept and offers a good Boon docking experience with well established sites each having fire ring and Picnic Table. Out-Houses are also provided.
Rangers passed through & checking on things regularly. I stayed here en route to Glacier National Park and enjoyed my stay.
On the negative side, the site is located close to I15 so there is some highway noise however there’s also a nice creek / stream between the site and highway muffling things somewhat. I took a space backing to I15 and the creek and was not bothered by highway traffic noise. Additionally (and I found this rather odd), each day there were gun shots for about 15 minutes….sounded like a single “shooter” but they were certainly close enough to be heard from the campground. Again, the shooting only lasted about 15 minutes but it did occur every day of my stay. While tempted, I chose NOT to investigate the shooting.
All that said, I would stay here again.

Beautiful overnight stay. Relatively easy access for our 40ft fifth wheel right off the highway. The highway noise was drowned out by the sound of the very strong river. Spotty service with ATT and Verizon, not sufficient for work/zoom calls even with WeBoost up. Would have stayed longer if it weren’t for the signal issues. Was still snowing during our stay in mid May and several spots suitable for big rigs were available

(Stayed here 8/17/21): Another great FREE spot right off the highway. I thought the highway buzz would be a downer but it didn’t bother me at all. It’s a small area with maybe a dozen spots but had plenty to choose from when we arrived in the evening. Because it’s small, you are fairly close to your neighbors. Also, because it’s close to the highway, expect late arrivals; there’s always that one person/group coming in well after sunset. There are bathrooms, tables, fire pits and plenty of trees for shade. It was quiet and clean for the most part - some micro-trash.

We arrived after 6 PM on a Monday night and there were multiple spots available. Good roads to get in, back-in sites only. We liked the fact that it was right off the highway - convenient to get to for quick overnight stay. Traffic noise was not bad at all. And otherwise, very quiet. Vault toilets, no water. Next to a nice stream with access from most sites. One bar of ATT service was easily boosted with our WeBoost

I planned to stay here but upon arriving, I only had 1 bar of 4G via ATT so had to relocate so I could work. The sites were clean, along the river and had a table & fire ring. I arrived around 2pm on a Sunday and 4 spots were taken. I imagine this place gets very busy on the weekends. The major drawback is how close it is to the interstate but it’s free! Vault toilet onsite. No other services.

Prior to coming here we were worried all sites would be taken. We arrived mid week around 4pm and to our surprise several options still available. Access is right off hwy and road to dispersed camping you must drive under hwy after exiting. According to allstays, clearance is 12ft. Sites are immediately to the right after you drive over bridge. Two loops in a figure 8 fashion. Total of 11 gravels sites. Each with fire pit, table and path to Boulder River. Sites well spread out. Centrally located 2 vaults, both very clean and stocked with toilet paper. 14 day minimum stay. Other campers come with their ATV’s and the dirt road continues up hill past dispersed area to a paid campground. Town is a short 3 mile drive back into Boulder with an all you need kind of market and large gas station that can accommodate big rigs. We had a friendly neighbor who brought his chain saw and cut down logs from a fallen tree and gave us an “all nighter” log. Despite hearing the occasional road noise during the day and member only shooting range close by, it gets real quiet and dark at night. Pack in and pack out. Great stop if you are traveling between national parks (Glacier and Yellowstone) or just know about this place and need a few days.
