18mi from Butte · 3 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Melrose, MT

Big Hole Boondockin' is located in Southwest Montana along the beautiful banks of the Big Hole River. River View Livestock, a 300 acre working cattle ranch, surrounds our camping areas which gives you the opportunity to enjoy a real Montana ranch experience. If you're not into the ranch lifestyle, hop on a raft, inner tube or kayak and float down the river enjoying a cold beverage. We also offer bank fishing on our private property. Stressed? Book some time with our emotional support animals and snuggle one of the pigs or cows to take some stress out of your life. These animals are part of our family and love to sit and relax with humans, begging for belly scratches and giving kisses. The cell service & wi-fi are very iffy here. T-Mobile works great. If you have Verizon or AT&T you will not have service right at the campsite. You may have to walk or drive a bit to get a signal or the local restaurant & bar has free wi-fi for patrons. Whatever your camping dream is, our focused, friendly staff will work to achieve it. We look forward to hosting you and your family and friends and sharing our day to day dream life.

6. Monarch Ski and Bike Cabin

45mi from Butte · 1 site · Lodging · Elkhorn, MT

The Monarch Cabin sits at an elevation of approximately 8,600 feet on the west side of Elkhorn Peak. It is surrounded by more than 300,000 acres of public land with 80,000 acres of that being designated as a roadless area. The nearest human inhabitance is in the Historic Town of Elkhorn situated a bit more than 3 miles to the south and a drop of about 2,000 feet of elevation. During the Summer, enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and trail running on maintained and unmaintained trails. Climb peaks with incredible views and fish in mountain lakes. Spring time provides opportunity to experience the splendor of the wild flower season. There are so many flowers that the whole area is alive with the aroma and multitude of colors. If you are lucky, you may see new born wildlife such as deer, elk, mountain goats, fox, moose and many others. Winter time lends to incredible back country skiing, split boarding, and snowshoeing. The sunsets are typically spectacular while enjoying the views and solitude. Book for a time of full moon and with a clear sky a moonlight ski or walk is amazing. From the West there is the Muskrat/Tizer Lakes trail which is a maintained, designated hiking/biking trail. To the south is an unmaintained, extremely rough forest service road leading to the cabin. To the east there is a trail to the top of Elkhorn Peak and to Crow Peak, the two highest peaks in the Elkhorn mountains. To the north there are trails leading to most anywhere in the Elkhorn Mountains. Tizer lakes are only about 3 miles away on an easy maintained trail. From there there are too many destinations to name. Hiking and biking is limited only by one's own ambition and skills. The Elkhorn endurance run is a well known event that has it's longer race route run right through the property. At the end of a hard day of adventure, relax in the wood fired sauna and enjoy the amazing sunsets. If you are lucky, you might even hear elk bugling in the valley below (September/October). Most people access the cabin by hiking, biking, snowshoes or ski's. If one choose to drive, a 4 WD truck would be a must and would still be difficult. Areas above the cabin are for non-motorized use only.

1 night at 4D Ranch

We had a late arrival, and an early morning, but after we settled in, this was such a dreamy stay! It was an adventure to get there in the dark, and we were careful on the rocky road up to the spot. Our host recommends a higher clearance, which is necessary. The sky is so big up there! Wow! The stars!!! The tipi was very cozy, and the bed was super comfy. ... And the morning - the coyotes yipping in the distance, a screech owl, the expansive view of the mountains in every direction, sunset colours with the tipi in the foreground... it was truly a one of kind experience. Our only regrets is not having more time relax and enjoy, or use all the amenities, like the outdoor shower (it has hot water!). Our host was so wonderfully accommodating as we scrambled to make arrangements. Thank you for everything! And for sharing this beautiful chunk of Montana with us. (And ps. We loved Anaconda too... such a charmer of a town!)

What a beautiful peaceful place. We felt like we were in the middle of no where. If you are an experienced camper with a vehicle that can handle the roads of an out of the way place, this is an amazing spot. Denise was super helpful and supportive to our stay.

Denise's tipi is well-situated and has a lovely view. We experienced a really spectacular sunset while we had a late dinner. There are some extra perks in the campsite - a picnic table, a firepit, an outhouse, and so cool to sleep in a real bed while still having the 'camping' feel. I would recommend being sure to have camping supplies on hand like water and a stove for cooking & you will have a truly fantastic experience!

1 night at 4D Ranch

Our family really enjoyed getting to stay on Denise's land. The Tipi was comfortable and Denise gave thought to details. There was plenty of firewood to enjoy a romantic fire under the stars. There was a coffee pot, water and coffee with a propane camping stove so we could have coffee in the morning. It was pleasantly quiet and rustic. A real outback experience while still having all the essentials. There even was a heater in the Tipi to warm up while getting dressed. 1st time staying in a Tipi I really could imagine Indians. I definitely would recommend if you enjoy having unique experiences. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

An extraordinarily beautiful spot! Both the cabin and the teepee provide an amazing escape from the ordinary. The views are majestic. The trees and the air so refreshing and beautiful. We had a fantastic three-day stay.

If you’re looking to camp on top of a Montana mountain like the tv show Yellowstone, then this hip camp is for you. The tipi sits a little downhill from the cabin, but you still get amazing views from the campsite as a whole. Be warned you will need a high clearance vehicle with 4-wheel or all-wheel drive to get to the site. Overall an incredible experience.

What a wonderful spot to camp at with gorgeous views and privacy. Denise has the place well appointed with thoughtful extras in the tipee. 2 nights , 2 adults and 2 kids in our group. Definitely need a vehicle with high clearance. I drive a Highlander and there were a few minor scrapes to the bottom of the car on the way in/out.
