Definitely take 93/75 from Missoula to Stanley. It's an absolutely beautiful drive following the river all the way. There's no reason to get on the interstate and it would be way out of your way.
There are many national forest campgrounds or just pull-overs along the whole route. You won't find it difficult to find a place for a night (but I bet you'll stay longer). :) They are all along the highway.
Have a great trip. The Stanley area is one of our very favorite places, especially so if you enjoy trout fishing!
what 2 gypsies said! we did this last Sept. and really enjoyed it.
93 to 75 is the way to go and if you have some extra time you should take in the Big Hole National Battlefield just east of 93 on 43 a few miles.
When you get to Lost Trail Pass on 93 go East on 43, their is two FSGC
on the way to the Battlefield and you maybe able to find a site big enough for you.
Back on 93 their is a BLM CG just north of Salmon Id. off the Fairground RD, it's about two miles up a good gravel Rd.(stay to the right) and you will have no problem with your MH,
we camped there for two days and their was a 34'MH next to us.
In Salmon Id. a must see the Sacajawea Center.
