9.8mi from Bridger · 2 sites · Tents, RVs · Springhill, MT

Bridger Vista Camp — Private Pastureland Escape with Mountain Views Welcome to your own private slice of Big Sky Country. Bridger Vista Camp offers a one-of-a-kind, single-site stay surrounded by sweeping pastureland and framed by the dramatic ridgelines of the Bridger Mountains. With no other campers in sight, the space is entirely yours — wide open, peaceful, and beautifully simple. At the center of the site is a stamped concrete pad, perfect for meals, lounging, or watching the light dance across the peaks. A rustic wooden spool table adds a bit of character (and makes a great spot to set your morning coffee or evening beverage of choice). You’ll wake to birdsong, breathe in the clean Montana air, and end the day with unobstructed stargazing across a horizon that never seems to end. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or just looking to unplug, this is the kind of place that invites you to slow down and soak it all in. And while it may feel like you’re out in the middle of nowhere, downtown Bozeman is just a 5–10 minute drive away — close enough for a quick coffee run or dinner out, but far enough that you’ll still sleep to the sound of crickets and wind through the grass. Oh — and you might meet Goober, our friendly four-legged camp inspector. She occasionally stops by to say hello (or see if snacks are involved). If she gets a little too enthusiastic about her hosting duties, feel free to shoot us a message. We promise she takes constructive criticism better than most humans. This is a dry, rustic site — no hookups or fancy amenities, just quiet land, mountain air, and a camp that feels like your own.

This is a great spot if you want to be close to Bozeman. The site is easy to access and has a spectacular view of the sunrise. The port-a-potty is clean with automatic lights for easy middle-of-the-night access. Another reviewer mentioned that it felt like you're "camping on someone's front lawn" but we didn't feel that at all: The house is 600' away and we didn't feel like we were even on their property. A reviewer also suggested the option to filter water from the stream, but given the amount of agriculture land upstream, I wouldn't do that.

What a great spot!! After staying at the hot springs for two nights it was WONDERFUL to pull into Stacie’s spot! So quiet with room all around you. The views of both the Gallatin and Bridger mountains is to die for! I pulled up next to her rv (just parked there, no one in it), my 20’ 50 amp cord didn’t reach the outlet tho. She had a standard 120 I could have used but I had a 30 amp extension cord with. I rode my bike just a mile to the local steak joint and had an amazing burger AND desert! Pizza place is there also. I’d go back in a flash!

Weekend Trip to Pine Creek Lodge Concert Tent Spots

This was our first time at Pine Creek Lodge, and we had the best time. The vibe is amazing – laid-back, welcoming, and full of good energy. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly nice and helpful. We arrived a bit early after a long drive and probably looked a little lost, but the staff didn’t miss a beat. They made us feel right at home right away. It’s the kind of place where you can instantly relax. Highly recommend – can’t wait to return!

Weekend Trip to VanGoBoon Campground

A nice set up! Restroom was very clean and there's a solar shower as well. Located near the interstate and railroad which didn't bother me. After dark it quiets down. Dan the owner is a nice man who has made a great stop for travelers to feel at home. 5 stars.

4 nights at Ellison Ranch

The Ellison ranch is the epitome of hipcamping! Big ranch, lots of space and privacy. The dogs so enjoyed it!! They also loved when I would get in the river with them for fun :) Kent and his ranch hand are there if you need them! I've always enjoyed ranchers because I come from ranchers. Good people! The sights around the area are spectacular not to mention the wildlife!! Do not miss Natural Bridge Falls. It isn't far away at all. The drive alone is spectacular! I rode my bike for 13 miles from the ranch down a forest road and it was breath taking. I really enjoyed my time in Big Timber as well. I love small towns where people are polite, helpful and friendly. If you have an rv, Big Timber Tire has an rv dump even after hours.

4 nights at Wineglass Ranch

The views were amazing! We appreciated having a safe place for our horses to hang out while we were doing other things. The bathroom and shower were a huge plus!

1 night at Wineglass Ranch

Such a beautiful farm! We enjoyed the last night of our honeymoon at the Wineglass ranch and wished we had more time to explore! Aneta was so hospitable and checked on us personally!
