Harlow at an elevation of 5,700 feet. The 28 campsites are large, secluded and widely spaced. This is a pack it in, pack it out campsite. Pets are allowed if on a leash. Handicap accessible toilets and water are available. Maximum trailer length is 32 feet.&#xD;
&#xD;
The campground is attractive with several hiking trails and a picturesque lake, well suited for canoeing. Bring a tube, raft or canoe. This is an excellent family campground not only because of the lake, but also the large network of trails. &#xD;
&#xD;
This lake isn't very deep with a depth of no more than 15 feet and covers 45 acres. As summer ends, the lake will be like a large shallow pond with a muddy shoreline. The water is constantly seeping out because the bottom is made up of porous limestone. &#xD;
&#xD;
A nominal fee charged per day per site. Limit of 10 people per site. Please limit your stays to 16 days.  Call the District Office for group reservations.</NetDescriptions><NoOfRooms i:nil="true"/><OutfitterLicNo i:nil="true"/><OutfitterName i:nil="true"/><PaymentMethods>Cash#Personal Check (In State)</PaymentMethods><PhoneNo1>406-566-2292</PhoneNo1><PhoneNo2 i:nil="true"/><PhoneNof>406-566-2408</PhoneNof><PhoneNot i:nil="true"/><Prices/><Reservations/><SeasonOfOp>6/15 - 9/6</SeasonOfOp><ServiceCity>Lewistown</ServiceCity><SiteId>2370</SiteId><SiteMembers>1|http://www.visitmt.com|Y#11|http://www.wintermt.com|#32|http://www.lewisandclark.state.mt.us|#94|http://indiannations.visitmt.com|</SiteMembers><SiteName>Crystal Lake Campground</SiteName><SiteRegMem>RUSSELL</SiteRegMem><SiteRegion>Russell</SiteRegion><SiteType>National Forest Campground</SiteType><SiteTypeId i:nil="true"/><StreetCity/><StreetFirm i:nil="true"/><StreetState i:nil="true"/><StreetStreet i:nil="true"/><StreetZip i:nil="true"/><Url>http://www.fs.usda.gov/lcnf</Url></SiteDetail>
