Welcome to Robinson's Roost!
My husband and I bought 3 acres of land and built our retirement home 19 years ago. We have chickens, fruit trees and a giant garden, and have 4 campsites in the wooded area of our property. We are excited to offer a bathroom and a hot shower!
Each campsite also has its own picnic table and there is a communal fire pit.
We have a beautiful piece of property with the Columbia mountain range in our back yard.
Great views, wildlife, garden, chickens. Situated on a dead end dirt road that is very peaceful and quiet. Hiking and water sports are also close by and we are only 6 miles from town.
We are 20 miles to Glacier National Park, where the beauty and activities are endless.
I have plenty of shopping, dining, hiking and activity ideas while visiting.
We look forward to your visit!

We live on 10 acres of mixed forest and field. In the summer we have an active blacksmithing school and flower farm here. The idea of a sustainable, self reliant lifestyle has always been part of our life and passing it down to others is a joy for us. We sustainably manage our food and forest to be the best stewards we can for our environment and our neighbors.
Our Cabin and structures were built primarily of materials that were recycled or milled on site. which makes them warm and inviting. The Cabin is located close to our shop which houses an active blacksmithing school in the summer months where the rest of the structures are separate and in an area tucked away on the edge of the woods.
Jeffrey and Betsy work to make your stay as welcoming as possible. Please note there are no pets as the wildlife could be disturbed..both human and otherwise, thanks. We maintain a small orchard of fruit trees, a garden which feeds us year round and a small flower farm on the property. Avid skiers, bikers, paddlers and hikers, offering the property for others to enjoy was a conscious decision made when planning all of our infrastructure. Come and enjoy all the beautiful Flathead Valley has to offer.

Wineglass, MT · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
Nestled on 60 acres you'll find a private campground in a cottonwood grove just across a log bridge over Miner creek. Across the gravel driveway you'll find a second campground that is tucked back in a secluded cottonwood grove, and further down the driveway, you'll find the 3rd campsite. The campgrounds are 5 minutes to the charming historic downtown of Livingston and the Yellowstone River, 20 minutes to Bozeman, 20 mins to Pine Creek Lodge and an hour to Yellowstone National Park. Dogs are welcome, as long as they are friendly to other dogs. Our dogs freely roam the property.
*All sites share an outhouse located in the parking area by the trail to camp #2. It is only onsite from mid-May to mid-Oct.
#1: "Creekside Oasis" campsite has a picnic table, fire ring, a hammock, solar lighting, and a small portable charcoal grill. Although you can car camp at # 1, please note that the camper spot is just off the gravel driveway, and not across the creek where the tent site, picnic table and fire pit are located.
#2: "Off the Beaten Path" campsite requires a short 1-2 minute walk on a tight, uneven path through the trees. It is a small campsite with a fire ring, 2 camp chairs, hammock, and solar lighting. Do NOT rent this tent site if you need to be close to your car. This site is not on the creek. Creek access is down a trail to the left off the parking area.
#3: "Not for the Faint of Heart" campsite is a 1-2 minute walk from the parking spot on an uneven, tight trail through the trees. It has a fire ring, two camp chairs, solar lighting, hammock, and a small portable grill. Do NOT rent this tent site unless you are ready to explore and do not need to be close to your car. The creek is not right by the tent site like it is in campsite #1. There is a small break in the bushes that gives creek access. This site is bigger than #2.
*NO Car camping is allowed at site 2 or 3.
For all sites:
* Quiet hours from 10pm-8am.
*No parties.
*We recommend you arrive before dark, although the trails are lit by solar lights even with headlamps it can be tricky to find your way thru the trees to camps 2 & 3. Closed-toed shoes are highly recommended for the trails.
*We recommend storing your food in your vehicle overnight.
*Bring your own firewood and charcoal.

Live Oak Belgians Horse Ranch

(1)
St. Ignatius, MT · 14 sites
Welcome to our working horse ranch, home to Belgian heavy draft and Friesian horses. We offer carriage, wagon, and sleigh rides (availability may vary).
For camping there are two options:
Option one…dry-camping for $30/night in a lush green horse pasture that is not currently in use.
Option two…we have two full-hookup RV sites for $70/night. 50A power, water, septic and a day-use dog kennel.
The sites are set above a beautiful meadow and creek which campers may enjoy. Dip yer feet in the cool mountain creek, throw the ball for Fido in the meadow, read under a shade tree, watch wildlife and toast marshmallows and stargaze over the campfire in the meadow next to the creek.
You may walk around the ranch and enjoy watching the horses and cattle.
Guest activity packages we offer are:
1. You may book a horse-drawn wagon ride
or
2. Book a “Meet the Horses” tour.
Because this is an active ranch, you may hear typical ranch sounds throughout the day. Work often begins around 7:00 AM, and occasionally activity may continue into the evening or late at night.
We usually greet guests upon arrival whenever possible. However, since we may be out working when you arrive, we’ll send a text with check-in and arrival instructions. You’re always welcome to call if you have questions or run into any issues.
A quick note about the roads:
From Hwy 93, there are three turnoffs that all bring you here—each is about 3 miles and similar in distance and condition. Road quality mainly depends on how recently the county grader has passed through. This is Montana—we like our gravel roads, and we like taking it slow!
Safety notes:
Do not walk into pastures with livestock unless you are with a ranch-hand. The horses are curious and will often come up to the fence to say Hi.
Do not enter any buildings unless you are accompanied by a ranch-hand. We do not have public restrooms for campers.
Bears occasionally are seen on the property.
Be Bear Aware by looking up “Montana Bear Aware Safety”. If you hike anywhere in Montana, it is your responsibility to read and learn about bear, bison and wildlife safety.
Live Oak Belgians LLC is an Agritourism operation.
In addition to horse drawn wagon rides and camping, we offer vacation rentals and we are an event venue.

We are 20 miles east of Missoula, MT near the Kettlehouse Ampitheater in Bonner. Our location is halfway between Yellowstone and Glacier National Park. There are mountain bike paths, river access points for paddling, rafting or fishing within minutes of our land. We can even help you know where to go. Our land is surrounded by Nature Conservancy land with a public recreation easement, so you can hike and take your horse for a ride very easily, just let us know and we will point you in the right direction.
Our child had a significant medical emergency that required a lot of travel to Seattle Children's and 4 brain surgeries recently, so we are just getting the garden back up and running and the sheep are happy. Unfortunately no chickens this year.
In a vehicle, you can pull into one of our pastures for your stay. Where you are depends on which field the sheep are eating! Tents also work in the field. We do not have any hookups, but there is potable water in the blue hydrant by the yellow tube. The fields are that - pasture fields. There are quiet neighbors across the fence who now have goats on one side. We are happy to offer advice about local attractions via messaging.

Weekend Trip to Camp Chicory in Paradise Valley
We never met the host, but didn’t need to! We stayed in the Gnome House on the 4th of July and the directions were spot on. We brought mini sleeping bags and needed them. This isn’t a lush and plush place to stay, but it’s not designed for all that. Back to the sleeping bags…it was hot in the Gnome Home when we got there. I think the car display said 88 degrees. By midnight I would say it had dropped into maybe mid to upper 50s, so the temp dropped rapidly. I read about the wind gusts that the host shared about. Apparently in that specific area wind pushes down the atmosphere and channels through that area at night. It was a nice change from the warm day to the cool breeze. We packed 2 men over 6’3” into the Gnome Home and it worked for us! I would much rather camp this way than to have flown a tent out and set it up ! Thanks for letting us use your little peace of heaven!
Also, bring insect repellent! The mosquitoes were thick on the 4th of July.

Beautiful place in a great location for exploring Glacier without being in the park. Pam was very quick respond to my questions about firewood and weather before we arrived.
When we arrived, the spot next to the one we booked looked better suited for our needs. I reached out to Pam and we were able to switch to the other site no problem.
There was lots of firewood provided which was a nice bonus and the porta potty was very clean.
The camp is on a residential road and several friendly neighbors were walking and driving by in the mornings and evenings. Not a problem for us, just be aware it’s not a super secluded place. Otherwise was very peaceful!

Where to go
Glacier Country
Northwestern Montana's Glacier Country is characterized by massive forests, craggy peaks, and long expanses of wilderness, with plenty of wildlife to boot. It's also home to Glacier National Park, where you'll find hundreds of miles of hiking trails along with tons of developed and backcountry camping options.
Southwest Montana
In the heart of Montana's Big Sky country, just west of Yellowstone National Park, this region is characterized by cute towns (notably Butte and Helena), historic ghost towns (a remnant of the region's historic mining industry), and relaxing hot springs. Popular camping areas include Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park and Bannack State Park.
Yellowstone Country
If you're headed to Yellowstone Country, it's likely with a visit to Yellowstone National Park in mind, but there's plenty more to do in the region, from hiking the Lake Fork Trail to checking out the restaurant and brewery scene in Bozeman. Yellowstone itself is, of course, a must-visit, but if you can’t find camping in the massive—and ever so popular—national park, you may have better luck snagging something in Custer Gallatin National Forest.
Central Montana
Central Montana offers all sorts of opportunities for outdoor recreation, rain or shine. Summer activities include fishing, horseback riding, and camping, while spots such as Showdown Mountain, Teton Pass Ski Resort, and Bear Paw Ski Bowl offer skiing and snowboarding. The region also has plenty of state parks, including Sluice Boxes State Park, Giant Springs State Park, and First Peoples Buffalo State Park.
Eastern Montana
Vast and expansive, eastern Montana features sparse landscapes dotted with the occasional herd of cattle, and plenty of room to get out and explore. You can take in views of the Badlands from Makoshika State Park or the Badlands Wilderness Study Area, or camp under the open sky in the expansive Custer National Forest. If you'd like to get out on the water, the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area is the place to go, with boat rentals available.
