Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Old Town River Ranch

Really beautiful property. Secluded, quiet, and dark. Be prepared for the remoteness, it is dark and quiet if there are no other campers. Hosts quick to respond. Read their instructions on getting there thoroughly. Highly recommended.

1 night at Creekside getaway

My son and I loved staying at Donald’s. The campsite was perfect and the stars were amazing. The directions were easy to navigate. The bathroom was clean and tidy too! We have a rooftop tent and site 3 was perfect.

1 night at Stillwater Getaway

A great place to stay right on the water. The host, Ryan, was very helpful and very responsive. I came with a group of 5 and we had a fun stay.

Weekend Trip to Creekside at Liberty Acres Bozeman

It's a nice spot. It's well within view of the road and some houses, no shade, but it's a very nice, rural area right on the outskirts of Bozeman. Easy Uber ride into town. It's a little pricey for camping, but considering the proximity to downtown Bozeman, it was worth it for me. There are two spots, directly adjacent to each other, just off a paved neighborhood road. Shared porta-potty (which was very clean). Views of open fields and mountains. 10 minute drive into Bozeman without having to get on the interstate.

Weekend Trip to The Mooseshroom

Mooseshroom is incredible. We loved everything about it!

Weekend Trip to ❤️ Glacier Park HipCamp 🏕️

The camp was easy to find. It’s super close to the park. The grounds are nicely maintained. Sites are spread out to give everyone a little space. Brand new vault toilets were super clean. Hosts were very friendly.

Weekend Trip to Old Town River Ranch

The views along the river were absolutely beautiful, and the peaceful setting made for a relaxing stay—with only the sound of birds in the background. It’s also just a short drive into Three Forks, which was convenient when we needed to pick up extra bug spray. I’d recommend bringing some along, as the bugs tend to be more active near the water.

Weekend Trip to Missoula Rest And Relaxation

Easy directions, flat good size space, very responsive host. Hope to stay in the future when we come for soccer ⚽️

Weekend Trip to Miner Creek Campground

Absolutely everything! Restroom facility was super clean, the camp was clear and not trashy. We were secluded and our host was the absolute best! Jenny gave us directions to a great hiking trail. I was not disappointed in the slightest. I highly recommend this camping site. The best hicamp I have ever been too and we are already considering coming back

Weekend Trip to Miner Creek Campground

We love camping at this secluded location! Very serene with the water and close to Livingston for a day trip or in case you need extra supplies! Our dog loved the water and the set up of chairs and grill was lovely.

Weekend Trip to Gallatin River Getaway

Great spot for a quick escape with the dogs and kids! Roger was great - easy communication and great to visit with once we checked in. We'll be back to escape the summer heat on the river!

2 nights at River's Bend RV

River’s Bend RV Park was a beautiful place to stay for 2 nights! Plenty of room to pull our 29’ 5th wheel in and out….very level and all the hook-ups worked great! This brand new RV park in the beautiful Boulder Valley would be a great halfway stop from Yellowstone to Glacier! Loved the big campfire area and access to hiking next to the RV park. Lots to do in the area including the Elkhorn Ghost Town, nearby Boulder Hot Springs and area health mines. Love exploring Montana! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3 nights at ❤️ Glacier Park HipCamp 🏕️

Your site was incredible. We had the place nearly to ourselves. We saw deer and ground squirrels daily. Very close to everything. Just a great quiet spot.

2 nights at ❤️ Glacier Park HipCamp 🏕️

Very convenient location for exploring West Glacier! the tube was comfortable for a good night sleep. Site is as described. Would stay again!

Weekend Trip to ❤️ Glacier Park HipCamp 🏕️

I would definitely stay here again if I come to the area. The hosts are wonderful and friendly. There are numerous RV and camping sites throughout their property. There is even a little tube to stay in that looks like a hobbit house. A beautiful lake with paddle boards available for free and close to town but in the middle of a Serene Forest setting. I stayed at siteone which I don't recommend because it's the closest to the access road and gets very dusty. All of the other sites are far from the main road. Absolutely beautiful place to stay and firewood is available along with a vault toilet but no trash receptacles or hookups for power or water. At this price at this time of year comma rv parks would be much more and would not be nearly as beautiful or as close to Nature as I am at this moment!

Weekend Trip to ❤️ Glacier Park HipCamp 🏕️

This hipcamp is easy to find and the hosts have been very friendly! Already booked 2 more stays with them this summer and I'm so excited to see the wild rose bushes bloom that were all over our site! The sites are private and we had plenty of space from our neighbor. The firepit was very nice and it was awesome being able to collect kindling from their land!!! Heads up, fishermen! We were unable to fish from the shore on account of the lilypads, but it was nice they offered paddleboards to get out in the middle if you have the time! 😀 We had just gotten done paddleboarding around Lake Macdonald, but that's the only reason we didn't go out. And even though we didn't need to use it (thank goodness), I can appreciate that they had a fire extinguisher nearby!!! The port-a-potty was very nice and I felt spoiled having such soft TP while camping! 😅 Highly recommend to anyone, especially with it being 7 minutes from the West Glacier entrance!

3 nights at ❤️ Glacier Park HipCamp 🏕️

Outstanding camp site. This is a special piece of land and the owners make it even better with the amenities offered.

Weekend Trip to ❤️ Glacier Park HipCamp 🏕️

We truly enjoyed camping on Jake and Jamie's property. They have it laid out beautifully with great signage, thoughtful sites, and really great outhouse facilities that were clean and comfy. They were easy to communicate with before the trip, and it was nice that Jake stopped by on our last morning to introduce himself and thank us for staying with them. We will definitely recommend their camp to friends and will plan on staying there again!

Weekend Trip to River Ranch - Private beach

Awesome camp spot! Close to town, yet secluded. Gorgeous spot covered in trees right on the river. And all the farm animals are so so fun! Kevin the host was wonderful. We would highly recommend and stay here again.

God's Country Camping

1 site · RV, Tent12 acres · Lolo, MT

I am one mile from Hwy 93 so you can hear traffic noise sometimes. Planes do fly over once in awhile as well. This is a dry camp and rustic camping, sites are fairly far apart. This property is so beautiful and peaceful out here at night. Seasonal Spring fed pond, Ponderosa pine trees, fallen white birch, rustic and gorgeous. Some of my camp spots are on rough terrain. I always suggest you get out and walk around to see what you can manage with your vehicle. The idea of my place is more wilderness camping, there is wildlife that comes around. RV camp spots on the east and west end of the pond. Camp spot out by the wooden round pen on the west side. Completely private, borders 2000 acres of a bird sanctuary. Two blocks from Bitterroot river canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swim, trails, hiking, scenery, wildlife. My pond is spring fed, which means that is goes up and down with the seasons and run off from the snow in the mountains and collects cotton from the trees when they shed. So as the summer goes on the pond levels go way down, please be aware of that.

Ponderosa Pine Ranch camp

2 sites · RVs, Tents3 acres · Three Forks, MT

Learn more about this land: Our property is in a close proximity to the Fairweather Fishing access on the Missouri River. Camping is not allowed at the access so we would be the closest camping site to this great outdoor playground. There is opportunity for fishing, floating, boating, hunting and swimming in the summer . There are groves of mature trees and open sites available. This is directly off of paved county road. The property adjacent to ours has the original ranch house and barn and other outbuildings that were part of the Ponderosa Pine Ranch which owned most of the valley we're in. The ranch house and buildings were divided away from our part of the property several years ago, so we have our home here and what was mostly pasture. The campsites are all pasture grass with trees for shade. We do not have cell phone service here. We have one site that has 30 amp electricity. Also we do not have trash service .

Madison River tiny house/camp site

6 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents10 acres · Amsterdam, MT

Our property is close to town but far enough out that you feel secluded. We have wonderful dark nights with amazing views of stars. There is a fishing access a mile down the road, or you can hike to the river which is approximately 1000 feet to the river. The river isn't a real deep river, a lot of people use it to float on tubes, but it has been known to have some nice fish also. The area always gets afternoon wind gusts that happen daily and don't last long but something you'll want to be aware of. On site we have available for rent 2 tiny houses and 4 Rv hook up spots. Our property also has a yurt, an additional tiny house, a skoolie and a motorhome. If you’re wanting to just get away to a beautiful spot, take a hike along the river, float the river or fish this is your place. It’s beautiful and quiet.

The noise does tend to subside considerably at night, but for those bothered by this type of noise, you might consider an alternate location. Most guests are truly fine with it.

Campsites #5 (up to 20ft) and Campsite #6 (up to 25ft) can accommodate mid-sized campers with limited but manageable room to maneuver. Notice.

This is a campground on a river bottom in Montana. We keep it well but its fairly "raw" here. There can be wildlife - large & small game, maybe a few lost cows at times. There can be bugs - mosquitoes & spiders. There can be weeds. Water levels in the river vary dramatically depending on the time of year - sometimes high & fast other times low & slow. Sometimes it'll be really hot, dry & dusty, other times humid & muddy, maybe even flooded in areas, sometimes it can be cold & icy. If these things concern you it might be best to find an alternative. For everyone else, come on in and enjoy, we welcome you!

Woody's On Flathead Lake

81 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents2 acres · Somers, MT

Welcome to Woody's Basecamp, typically reserved for our tribe of wild firefighters and 1st responders, to put our cheese back on our crackers, between dispatches fighting wildfires and disasters. This is our refuge from the hurricanes that chase us, called Trauma and her cousins, Chaos and Turmoil. In memory of Hurricane Rachael. Our Dirty Secret, we survive the impossible, saving other, only to die by our own hand.......sad stats, but true. Worse yet, we can lose our careers if we seek help. This place started as a garden, Woody planted, to ground himself again, it kept growing into what it is now, because of a vision for healing. Woody carved out a mountainside, and created more gardens, where folks can come, ground and plant some good seeds through good times, camping with family and friends, open to the public. Super chill and tranquil with a great location, lake out front, hiking out back. A quiet spot, carved out of the base of a mountain. It's walking distance to the Somers Beach and Boat Launch. Blacktail Mountain is next door, Hot Springs, Glacier NP, down the road. There's plenty to do on the lake, in the mountains, or in the towns nearby. Go burn some energy and come back here to ground and re-charge. If you love quaint little towns, you'll love Somers. It offers a post office, café, bar/restaurant, hardware/lumber store, a museum, mansion and a yacht club. Culture, history and beauty here. If you love beaches, the Somers Beach is a great spot with a swimming area and place to launch paddle boards, kayaks, canoes and rafts from. There are spots tucked away next to the shoreline, among the pines, that are super sweet for picnics, or hanging out, whilst the kiddos frolic in the water. The Somers State Park is a part of a Waterfowl Preserve. It's outside of town and pretty secluded. It has a very nice sandy beach and is in a shallow cove. Likewise, it's shallow for a long ways out, so there is no boating traffic here. Perfect for SUP's, kayaker s, kids and dogs. If you love to sail, The North Flathead Yacht Club is a great place to meet locals and hitch a ride on a sailboat For whooping it up! Del's Bar is a great place. Lakeside and Big Fork offer even more, a short drive away. We even have gemstones, a roller coaster and Flathead tours.

Miner Creek Campground

7 sites · RVs, Tents60 acres · Livingston, MT

Nestled on 60 acres you'll find a private campground in a cottonwood grove just across a log bridge over Miner creek. Across the gravel driveway you'll find a second campground that is tucked back in a secluded cottonwood grove, and further down the driveway, you'll find the 3rd site. The campgrounds are 5 minutes to the charming historic downtown of Livingston and the Yellowstone River, 20 minutes to Bozeman, 20 mins to Pine Creek Lodge (great outddor concerts!) and an hour to Yellowstone National Park. Dogs are welcome, as long as they are friendly to other dogs. Our dogs freely roam the property. Miner Creek Campground #1/Creekside Oasis has a picnic table, fire ring, a hammock, solar lighting, a small portable charcoal grill (bring your own charcoal) and a shared outhouse. Although you can car camp at the # 1, please note that the camper spot is just off the driveway, and not across the creek where the tent site, picnic table and fire pit are located. Campsite 2/"Off the Beaten Path" campsite requires a short 1 minute walk through the trees from the parking area. It has a fire ring (bring your own wood), 2 camp chairs, & solar lighting. Do NOT rent this tent site if you need to be close to your car. The creek access is not at the campsite, it is down another trail off the parking area. Campsite 3/"Not for the Faint of Heart" campsite, is just that! It's a 2 minute walk from the parking spot on an uneven trail through the trees. It has a fire ring (bring your own wood), two camp chairs, solar lighting, and a small portable grill (bring your own charcoal). Do NOT rent this tent site unless you are ready, to explore and do not need to be close by your car. Make sure you arrive before dark because although the trail is lit by solar lights even with headlamps it can be tricky to find your way through the trees. The trail is tight and uneven and closed-toed shoes are highly recommended. The creek is not right by the tent site like it is in campsite #1. There is a small break in the bushes that gives creek access. For all sites we recommend storing your food in your vehicle overnight. All sites share a portalet that is located in a common parking area by the trail to camp #2.

Rainbow Gulch Farm

6 sites · RVs, Tents21 acres · Clinton, MT

A small family farm working toward sustainability. Easy to access from I-90, drive in camping for a stop overnight or a home base while you explore the many attractions nearby. Learn more about this land: We are 20 miles east of Missoula, MT near the Kettlehouse Ampitheater in Bonner. Our location is halfway between Yellowstone and Glacier National Park. There are mountain bike paths, river access points for paddling, rafting or fishing within minutes of our land. We can even help you know where to go. Our land is surrounded by Nature Conservancy land with a public recreation easement, so you can hike and take your horse for a ride very easily, just let us know and we will point you in the right direction. Our child had a significant medical emergency that required a lot of travel to Seattle Children's and 3 brain surgeries all year, so we don't have the active garden going this year, but the chickens and sheep are happy. In a vehicle, you can pull into one of our pastures for your stay. Where you are depends on which field the sheep are eating! Tents also work in the field. We do not have any hookups. The fields are that - pasture fields. There are quiet neighbors across the fence. We are happy to offer advice about local attractions via messaging. This is pack it in, pack it out During the pandemic we ask that you wear a face covering if you have a reason to talk with us, even across the fence out of an abundance of caution since most of you are traveling from out of state. Tours are also temporarily suspended.
