Quartz Flat Campground

84 sites · RV, Tent

Quartz Flat is the perfect campground for when you need a solid break from road tripping along I-90. Whether you’re traveling east or west, it’s easy to reach the campground—just follow the signs and you’ll arrive in no time. There’s no exit ramp, so it’ll be important to heed the signage. The entire campground is densely forested, making this the perfect spot to step out of the car, stretch your legs, pitch your tent, and cozy up to a roaring bonfire. When morning rolls around, hopping back into the car to continue with your drive will be a breeze.

We can’t wait to share our land with you! Get away from it all and get under the Big Sky. Close to the freeway for easy access but adjacent to over 300 acres of beautiful farmland, you’ll experience Montana’s wildlife and have beautiful Mountain views when you stay at Primrose Meadows. There are few trees in the property, it’s mostly rolling hills with some trails to walk and plenty of space between sites! This property has a railroad track that runs next to the property that sometimes toots its horn, if you’re a light sleeper this is something you should consider! We are close to Council Grove and Frenchtown Pond which are both great swimming holes! You can also coordinate with us for cross-country skiing or head to Snowbowl for local downhill skiing! We are close to Missoula should you need any services in town.

Live Oak Belgians Horse Ranch

35mi from Quartz Flat Campground · 22 sites · Tents, RVs

Welcome to our working horse ranch, home to Belgian heavy draft and Friesian horses. We offer carriage, wagon, and sleigh rides (availability may vary). For camping there are two options: Option one…dry-camping for $30/night in a lush green horse pasture that is not currently in use. Option two…we have two full-hookup RV sites for $70/night. 50A power, water, septic and a day-use dog kennel. The sites are set above a beautiful meadow and creek which campers may enjoy. Dip yer feet in the cool mountain creek, throw the ball for Fido in the meadow, read under a shade tree, watch wildlife and toast marshmallows and stargaze over the campfire in the meadow next to the creek. You may walk around the ranch and enjoy watching the horses and cattle. Guest activity packages we offer are: 1. You may book a horse-drawn wagon ride or 2. Book a “Meet the Horses” tour. Because this is an active ranch, you may hear typical ranch sounds throughout the day. Work often begins around 7:00 AM, and occasionally activity may continue into the evening or late at night. We usually greet guests upon arrival whenever possible. However, since we may be out working when you arrive, we’ll send a text with check-in and arrival instructions. You’re always welcome to call if you have questions or run into any issues. A quick note about the roads: From Hwy 93, there are three turnoffs that all bring you here—each is about 3 miles and similar in distance and condition. Road quality mainly depends on how recently the county grader has passed through. This is Montana—we like our gravel roads, and we like taking it slow! Safety notes: Do not walk into pastures with livestock unless you are with a ranch-hand. The horses are curious and will often come up to the fence to say Hi. Do not enter any buildings unless you are accompanied by a ranch-hand. We do not have public restrooms for campers. Bears occasionally are seen on the property. Be Bear Aware by looking up “Montana Bear Aware Safety”. If you hike anywhere in Montana, it is your responsibility to read and learn about bear, bison and wildlife safety. Live Oak Belgians LLC is an Agritourism operation. In addition to horse drawn wagon rides and camping, we offer vacation rentals and we are an event venue.

Campground is on private property, not a traditional campground, campsites are well spaced apart and each is different. One mile from Hwy 93, possible noise. This is a dry camp and rustic camping, sites are fairly far apart, ground is uneven. Two blocks from the Bitterroot river fishing access. 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 come through. 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, and 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. As the summer goes by the pond levels go way down, please be aware of that.
