29mi from Dillon · 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.

42mi from Dillon · 2 sites · RVs · Ennis, MT

This property is a rural oasis. Located just ten miles from Ennis and two miles from the Madison river, this is the perfect camp spot to call home for day hiking, biking and fishing adventures. The spot is flat with grass for a tent or large enough to pull in a camper. It’s in a rural neighborhood surrounded by mostly residents and some vacation rentals. The views are endless. You have access to a spring red creek for fishing, swimming and relaxing.

3. Amish Daily Farm

41mi from Dillon · 4 sites · Lodging · Whitehall, MT

Experience a WORKING (formerly Amish) farm in the heart of rural southwest Montana. Off-grid (solar) yet cozy, we are the perfect fit for those looking to escape the stress of the city for a simple farm experience. Your experience will be rustic, grounded, and unique. Local attractions include Hot Springs, Hiking, Rafting, Biking, Dirt biking, 4-wheeling, Fly Fishing, ATVs, Caverns, National Parks, Ringing Rocks, and Mining Towns. 17 minutes S of I-90. We are an active farm, so do not expect the "Ritz" or any fancy gardens. We do have free-range poultry, so expect some animal droppings on the property. Experience the stars as you've never seen them before. Our views are unbeatable and your experience with us will be memorable. Bring your binoculars - you never know when you might get a glimpse of the majestic Montana wildlife! Meet the farm animals or watch for bald eagles and deer and even possibly meet our resident moose family. We are surrounded by National Forest and untamed rivers that make us the perfect location for your next adventure.

We loved the green tractor for pics! Waking up to the beautiful stream sounds was lovely. Holly is very communicative and helpful. The property is beautiful although I wasn’t sure where the property lines were so I hope I didn’t intrude on someone’s land. We missed the pigs though.

Caroline's Hipcamp was just what we were looking for. It's in a beautiful area with farms all around, yet it feels privat enough as well. The area next to the barn is large and flat. We really enjoyed our time here.

Weekend Trip to Big Hole Boondockin'

This was an amazing camping experience. We were the only campers so had the whole grassy area to ourselves. It is right on the river and there are a few other public river access spots nearby so we checked out all of them. We biked up the mountain and around town as well — there is a school playground a block or two away that my kids (ages 4-9) liked. The spot is at the end of a small town (Melrose)—so not in the middle of nowhere, just FYI. The piggies were the best part! They’re such funny creatures and we enjoyed getting to know them. Holly is such a nice person and obviously cares about her guests and pets! Definitely recommend.

This was an awesome spot to get away with the family. Holly was a great host and her property is top notch. Easy access to fishing and lots of activities, plus a great treat getting to visit the pigs. We had excellent cell service at the site and the town of Melrose had a few food options when cooking wasn't in the cardmla. Definitely recommend!!

This was great! I personally fly fish more than I should, and my wife is an animal lover! The best of both worlds! I’m surprised my wife didn’t try to steal a pig! Holly, the host, and her entire family were welcoming, friendly and fun to chat with! This spot is perfect! Highly recommend you stay in the Silo! As this is almost and exact half way point for a trip that we make often, we definitely will be coming back!

This was a perfect spot close enough to Virginia City, but far enough out to enjoy some peace and quiet! Also only 1 1/2 hours for Yellowstone! Perfect set up for tent camping! We really enjoyed this location!

I had a great night camping on Holly’s land! The mountain views were gorgeous! I especially loved the tour of Holly’s pig farm - I learned so much, and the pigs were absolutely adorable. As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe camping there. I wish I could have stayed longer!
