Glamping in Montana

·

Few states evoke the call of the wild like Montana. Mighty rivers sweep through mountain valleys, snow-slathered peaks rise up around ancient glacial Plains, and vast ranchlands are dotted with geysers and Hot Springs. But you don’t have to hike through the backcountry or give up your home comforts to escape to the wilderness—there are also countless options for glamping in Montana. Choosing a fun or quirky glampsite just adds to the adventure whether you check into a luxury cabin, vintage Airstream, or bell tent on the cusp of the Yellowstone National Park or Custer Gallatin National Forest, sleep in a treehouse near the Glacier National Park, or go back-to-basics in a safari tent or tipi near Hot Springs State Park. When winter’s sub-zero temperatures kick in, heated glampsites let you continue camping through snow season—just bring your thermals and your snowshoes.

In Montana, glamping is a type of outdoor stay combining camping's nature setting with the luxury and convenience of comforts like beds, warm showers, or electricity. When glamping in Montana, there's no need to bring your own tent—instead, glampers may stay the night in a cabin, a vintage Airstream, a canvas bell tent, a yurt, or even a treehouse.

Zortman, MT · 26 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Antelope Creek Campground sits just off Highway 191 between mile markers 96 and 97. While it is more accessible than other remote properties—you can reach us in a standard passenger car and park right by the bathhouse—the wilderness feels just as close. You can watch the local prairie dogs right from your lawn chair. This is also one of the premier stargazing locations in Montana. With minimal light pollution and wide-open horizons, the Milky Way is brilliantly visible on clear nights, and meteor showers put on a spectacular show. Wildlife & Exploration In the spring, sage grouse leks come alive within a short walk of the camp. Our permanent residents, the prairie dogs, provide a constant soundtrack to the plains. For those looking to explore, the Antelope Creek Wilderness Study Area is accessible through a pedestrian gate just west of the walk-in tent sites, offering coulees, ponderosa pines, and total solitude in every direction. The Surrounding Area Our "Mars Vista" point sits near the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation, offering views toward the towns of Hays and Lodgepole, as well as Mission Canyon in the Little Rocky Mountains. If you need supplies, the town of Malta is just 20 minutes away and has everything you might have forgotten to pack.

American Prairie Craighead Hut

Winifred, MT · 1 site
For generations, this stretch of land where the Judith River empties into the Missouri has been a gathering place—for Indigenous peoples, for the Corps of Discovery, and for the ranchers and explorers who followed. It still draws people in a way that’s difficult to explain until you are standing at the confluence, looking upstream. American Prairie has built three small huts here, each distinct and anchored to a chapter of this landscape's story. They are designed to be comfortable without being ornate; the architecture intentionally keeps your attention focused outside, where it belongs. The surrounding landscape rewards curiosity: • The Big Sag: A vast, ancient geological depression visible from the property. • Exploration: Miles of roads ideal for backcountry biking and hiking. • The Water: Judith Landing State Park sits just downstream, serving as a gateway to the White Cliffs section of the Wild and Scenic Missouri River Breaks—one of the most dramatic landscapes in Montana, best experienced by river float. In September and October, the river bottoms come alive as bull elk gather for the rut. Their haunting bugles carry through the crisp dawn air as cows move through the golden cottonwood corridors. It remains one of the premier elk-viewing opportunities in the entire region.
