MT Keene Life is Good Lodge
1 site · Lodging10 acres · Craig, MT
Wade the Dearborn in the back yard of this 3-bedroom house (fourth bedroom/living room or guide cabin next door ($150/stay to open) on 10 acres of the former Gary Cooper Ranch. Don’t be surprised to see deer, geese and ducks in the window nudging their way near the deck, especially at the spring waterfall that cascades down the slope. if you are especially quiet and observant, the hundreds of acres of park and ranch across the river also have mountain goats, bears, antelope and even the mountain lion.
Help yourself to the library, watch satellite television or DVD movies, or read from the house’s library.
The public put-in is an 11 hour trip; private access to two shorter put-ins make this a recommended site for many Montana guides. Launch from the back yard and float one half mile down the Dearborn River to the Missouri River or from anywhere on the Dearborn to your own private fishing hole among some of nature’s oldest rock outcroppings.
Only few miles from the Missouri Inn over the bridge where the Untouchables was filmed, enjoy the canyon or visit the Lewis and Clark’s Tower Rock and surrounding Park. From this base, see the spectacular Glacier Park or the continent’s largest dinosaur digs to the northwest, float the Lewis and Clark Trail by pontoon boat and lunch at the island where one of the nation's most famous fires occurred, or travel south to Yellowstone National Park or Jackson Hole, each an easy day’s visit.
Bring your dogs to the kennel behind the house, hang on the deck with river and tremendous rock views, play pool or light the outside fire pit for a campfire. BBQ or enjoy the new, custom kitchen and fisherman’s décor. In the evening, take your pick of 3 spacious bedrooms where at the end of the day 6 extra long beds await or tie a few at the fly-tying table.

This five-acre oasis was once a landscape nursery. So given the close proximity to downtown we are a hidden sanctuary from the outside world, secluded by cottonwood trees and mature foliage.

Camping near Craig guide
Overview
Situated near the start of the mighty Missouri River, the longest river in the United States, Craig, delivers camping adventures like no other. Start at Missouri Headwaters State Park, about 110 miles south of Craig, to witness the convergence of the Gallatin, Madison, and Jefferson Rivers as they form the Missouri River. Explore vast plains and meadows surrounded by mountain views while hiking the relatively easy Fork Rock Trail Loop. The ADA-accessible campground here offers pull-through RV sites and tent camping areas with basic amenities like vault toilets and picnic tables. RV camping by Holter Lake near the Gates of the Mountains Wilderness is another great option. Find a concrete boat launch, potable water, and fire rings. For some of the best fly fishing for trout on the Missouri River, consider the tailwater section below the Holter Dam, which passes through Craig. Pet-friendly RV parks for campervans and big rigs on the water may offer modern amenities like full hookups, hot showers, wifi, cable TV, rest areas, and dump stations.
