Please contact me through here 1-2 days prior to your arrival so I can get your area ready. As there may be one other camper from time to time as well. I want you to have the privacy and the experience as if it was only you and you’re family staying. This 53 acres use to be owned by a guy named John Helberg which is who the road is named after. It’s the original homestead land dated over 100 years ago where they farmed for there dairy cows and other livestock. This is right off a dead end road. You will have a view of a Montana farm field with the Rocky Mountains in the background. Dark nights out of the town means the stars will be out and about! This is a quiet secluded area there is a house near by, he is an older gentlemen you won’t even know he’s there. Depending on time of year there will be a field full of crop or the farm getting farmed. There very well could be some horses near by to pet!! Located 10 minutes from the lakes. 5 minutes from a reservoir. 10 minutes from town. 15 min to closest hiking areas. Helena really is the heart of fun very centralized for all directions of fun! Very easy pull in and pull out area. Please not there may be other campers enjoying as well Black Sandy State Park and Helena National Park are both under 15 miles away. Enjoy hiking and If you’re the boating type, head down the Missouri river in search of a rumored rope swing or jump off the boat for a dip in the crystal waters of Hauser Lake. Looking to avoid all the crowds or enjoy a solitary weekend under the endless Montana sky? Just head to Black Sandy during the winter months! You’ll find the same great stunning views and an ice skating experience that will put your grandparents’ childhood tales to shame. I do have power 50 amp, fresh water, grey water hook up, no black water. This option may not be available all of the time.

These folks were so kind, and finding the space was easy with their published directions. The space is well maintained, and wonderfully peaceful, especially once the traffic on the highway dies down. They even had firewood set out. Awesome.

I love the views, the sunrises and sunsets, the night sky, the horses, the llamas and cows nearby. The gravel roads were not so bad. Pat is an excellent host. She has the right combination of helpfulness and giving me my privacy. A delightful experience with full hookups.

great spot for a getaway with beautiful views. Check out the state park nearby or go to pony for the day! Just bought a motorcycle and the roads surrounding the property are great for any kind of activity from walking to running mountain biking and even riding motorcycles! All the animals on the property are gorgeous and the host is very welcoming! Be prepared to either be creative with leveling your RV in order to access sewer, or just bring a sewer extension hose as there is a very nice flatter area just out of reach for our sewer hose! Utilities were in great working order and our Starlink had a clear view of the sky!

We very much enjoyed camping on Annette's land. It's close to trails and downtown Helena. We parked and used our bikes and ebikes to get around. The spot is tucked into trees on a quiet rural street. We found Helena to be very charming and welcoming. We spent an afternoon at Broadwater Hot Springs, just a few miles away. $17 day use fee and you can use their various pools, sauna, and gym. Poolside snack service too!

Weekend Trip to White Bridge Lane Private Campsite

We had a nice weekend on Dawson’s property . It’s very private with great river access for fishing and playing in the water. We loved being able to let our dogs have the freedom to run around and play in the water as well. The mosquitoes were pretty bad, mostly in the evenings, but Dawson set up a screen tent around the picnic table which made a nice gathering spot for meals by the campfire. We’d go back for sure!

This location is snug in a small but ample plot. The back end is nicely wooded and its location stays super nice temperature wise. Hope on our next Montana trip it is still available! It’s conveniently located not far from anything in Helena. Owner and neighbors are super friendly!

This spot is perfect for off grid camping. Great fishing. Mosquitos can be a challenge at times, just bring bug spray and have a great time.
