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.

Weekend Trip to Paradise Awaits

We really enjoyed our time on this property. It is a true taste of off grid living. It is not an in town rental, but instead your experience will be far from town with the comforts you still enjoy. Elk will keep you company when you wake up in the morning. The bathroom has a unique experience that just has to be seen to understand that is very enjoyable. The host provides a very hospitable experience. I would highly recommend and also recommend enjoying all the back roads that are accessible from this cabin.

Boulder Creek Lodge was well-run, clean, and really relaxing and peaceful. Our kids loved the tipis, and it was cool to have the creek, a playground, some yard games, and a big safe space for them to run around. It was also great to have a real shower available and a lodge area with some indoor games and a fridge and coffee machine when we wanted it. Doug was really friendly and had some good local recommendations for our family - nearby Philipsburg is great for some activity during the day, and the whole area is beautiful with some really nice trails.

We had the best weekend camping at Boulder Creek Lodge. I was thrilled to find a new camping spot that we’d never tried before. The owners were incredibly kind & accommodating. We had the park right across the driveway that the kids clocked MANY hours playing at. It was close to Phillipsburg & Georgetown lake so we could spend the day at each place without being very far. We can’t wait to go back

Weekend Trip to Gunslinger Gulch Ghost Town

Perfect place to set up camp and relax when exploring Butte and Anaconda, very quite and beautiful mountain views. We were given a tour of the old town on arrival. Enjoyed learning about each building and it's history. As a Yellowstone 1923 fan we loved seeing the post office from seen 5 shot on site at Gunslinger Ranch. We did not cause a raucous but some how we end up in JAIL! No really...Camping showers were being repaired and Karen offered us to take a showers in the Jail. I would recommend the jail for an accommodation. What a cool space!

This was a really nice spot to camp in our van for a couple of days. It was so incredibly quiet at night, and in morning and evening it was fun to walk out pup up the old west street, looking at the cool old buildings, and visit the goats and horses up the way. Our host met us when we arrived and was very welcoming. You can tell this place is a work in progress but that it's a labor of love - we got to peek in one of the empty units and it was really nicely done inside but still completely rustic and authentic feeling - loved the high ceilings and clawfoot tub. We would definitely stay again.
