Anglers cast for rainbow, brown, brook and cutthroat trout, whitefish and Arctic grayling on the Gallatin River. An accessible fishing dock is located at the river's edge. Rafting and kayaking are popular activities as well. Many trails can be found in Gallatin Canyon. The Swan Creek Trail begins at nearby Swan Creek Campground. Golden Trout Lakes Trail begins about 15 minutes away up Portal Creek Road, three miles south of the campground.

What campers say

Moose Creek Flat Campground is a well-kept, flat USFS riverside site popular for fishing, swimming and nearby hikes (lava lake, Hyalite, Big Sky). Sites are open and large—easy for rigs—but offer little privacy and are near a busy road, so traffic noise is common. Facilities include bear-proof food boxes and trash pickup; staff often mark site availability early in the morning. It’s convenient and sociable for short stays, though be aware of limited adjacent parking for extra vehicles or kids, and occasional reports of the campground being closed despite first-come signage.
