Sagebrush Mountain View

5 sites · RVs8 acres · Helena, MT
Wide open space with natural landscape and amazing view of the Helena Valley and surrounding mountain ranges. This land is undisturbed, aside from the road and parking pull-throughs that have been created for RV parking. Self contained units only and as they say, "Pack it in, pack it out". See what Lewis and Clark traveled through as they made their way west from the Missouri River. Prickly Pear Cactus, sagebrush and natural grasses are prevalent. Helena, the capital of Montana is a mere 20 minute drive, where all the amenities of a small town exist. National Forest abounds to the west and Canyon Ferry Reservoir is 20 minutes to the east. Access to the property is 4.25 miles from Interstate 15. This is a high mountain dessert with an elevation of 4090' above sea level. Average rainfall is 6", so campfires are not allowed due to the dry grasses and sagebrush. Pets are allowed on leashes and quiet time is from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. We are located approximately half way between Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks.

The Trail Enthusiast's Basecamp!

2 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Helena, MT
This five-acre oasis was once a landscape nursery. So given the close proximity to downtown we are a hidden sanctuary from the outside world, secluded by cottonwood trees and mature foliage. The site now serves as a wedding venue and offers views of Mount Helena to the South and the Sleeping Giant to the North. Learn more about this land: Pitch a tent in our aspen grove or park your camper/RV in the grassland field. You're close to downtown with lots of privacy/scenery. You'll have views of regal Mount Helena to the South and The Sleeping Giant to the North. The South Hill trail complex is a great place to explore as well as the Scratchgravels. The Missouri River is only 20 minutes away as well as Lake Hauser and Canyon Ferry. If new to the area and interested in history, we recommend the Tour Train. We also have several great breweries - our favorites include Ten Mile and Blackfoot Breweries (a perfect stop you can ride to after a trail ride/hike in the South Hills). This site is perfect for those wanting to explore Downtown Helena, it's renowned trail systems, but still sleep under the stars. Pets are allowed. Please make sure you pick up after them. There is water throughout the property that you are welcome to use for cleaning, but it is not potable.

Camping near Craig guide

Overview

Situated near the start of the mighty Missouri River, the longest river in the United States, Craig, delivers camping adventures like no other. Start at Missouri Headwaters State Park, about 110 miles south of Craig, to witness the convergence of the Gallatin, Madison, and Jefferson Rivers as they form the Missouri River. Explore vast plains and meadows surrounded by mountain views while hiking the relatively easy Fork Rock Trail Loop. The ADA-accessible campground here offers pull-through RV sites and tent camping areas with basic amenities like vault toilets and picnic tables. RV camping by Holter Lake near the Gates of the Mountains Wilderness is another great option. Find a concrete boat launch, potable water, and fire rings. For some of the best fly fishing for trout on the Missouri River, consider the tailwater section below the Holter Dam, which passes through Craig. Pet-friendly RV parks for campervans and big rigs on the water may offer modern amenities like full hookups, hot showers, wifi, cable TV, rest areas, and dump stations.
