Indian Flats Cabin

1 site · Lodging

Indian Flats Cabin is so close to incredible hiking you might only rest your head here! Drive up the cabin in the summer and fall or snowmobile your way up in the winter, drop off your gear, and hike to Hogback Mountain to see incredible panoramic views of Beaver Creek Canyon. There’s a cozy wood stove for winter warm-ups and perhaps after a summer hike to Refrigerator Canyon where temps can be up to 20 degrees cooler. Water, food, propane, and bedding will all need to be hauled in, but with the forest surrounding the cabin, you may just opt for that hammock sleep under the stars!

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. The site now serves as a wedding venue and offers views of Mount Helena to the South and the Sleeping Giant to the North. Learn more about this land: Pitch a tent in our aspen grove or park your camper/RV in the grassland field. You're close to downtown with lots of privacy/scenery. You'll have views of regal Mount Helena to the South and The Sleeping Giant to the North. The South Hill trail complex is a great place to explore as well as the Scratchgravels. The Missouri River is only 20 minutes away as well as Lake Hauser and Canyon Ferry. If new to the area and interested in history, we recommend the Tour Train. We also have several great breweries - our favorites include Ten Mile and Blackfoot Breweries (a perfect stop you can ride to after a trail ride/hike in the South Hills). This site is perfect for those wanting to explore Downtown Helena, it's renowned trail systems, but still sleep under the stars. Pets are allowed. Please make sure you pick up after them. There is water throughout the property that you are welcome to use for cleaning, but it is not potable.

Hilltop Camp near Hauser Lake

13mi from Indian Flats Cabin · 4 sites · Tents, RVs

Perched above Hauser Lake with wide-open big-sky views, Hilltop Camp is where you come to actually see the stars again. No crowds — just a small family farm, and sky that goes on forever after sundown. We're a small family farm outside Helena, and staying here means you're part of the rhythm for a night or two. Fresh eggs from our hens are usually available for purchase (ask when you book), and you'll likely hear our rooster and guinea fowl greeting the morning. Early risers, all of them, and part of the charm if you're the kind of camper who loves waking up somewhere alive. A few honest notes up front: the property has a rolling hill. Most sites have some natural slope, please bring leveling blocks if you're in a rig, and expect a bit of that "real land, not a paved pad" character. We are working to level sites as we can. What you get in return is a private, unhurried spot with sunset and sunrise views most campgrounds can't touch, and some of the best stargazing in the Helena Valley. We live on the property year-round, so you're never staying somewhere unattended. Please text or call anytime and we typically respond within the hour. Good cell signal throughout, clear directions to each site, and we're always around if you need anything. Four sites to choose from, each with its own personality. We have one site with electricity, and three dry camping sites. Hauser Lake is a short drive away for fishing and boating, and Helena's shops and restaurants are close enough for a supply run without losing that "middle of nowhere" feeling. Getting here: There is a hill up to the property, and it can be slick after rain or snow. In wet or winter weather, 4WD or AWD is strongly recommended. If you’re driving a 2WD vehicle, please check the forecast and message us before you come. We do have equipment to keep the roads open and driveable. Winter season (November 1 to May 1): Sites #2, #3, and #4 are closed. Site #1 stays open with electricity. Water and portable toilets are not available in winter, and there is no sewer hookup, so you must be fully self-contained. Please keep in touch: Send us a quick text when you arrive and when you leave, even if you leave early. Weather here can change fast, and we like to know everyone is safe. If we don’t hear from you by checkout time, we’ll assume your site is vacated. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions. We’re always happy to help!

As opposed to the thousands of runoff creeks in Western Montana, the unique Trout Creek Canyon has one of the few spring fed streams. It's rather large volume of water flows from several groups of canyons and drainages in the Little Belt mountains, bubbling out of the ground six miles up at the foot of the beautiful Vigilante canyon and terminating in the Missouri River three miles further down. Over the last 150 years a  number of gold and silver mines have operated in the gulches at the side of the canyon. A pictorial history is available at the community park and in the social hall. If you're lucky you might even still see a few mountain goats on your way up the canyon.
