Please anticipate traffic and possible delays while bike park shuttles are running. If you're planning on coming and going frequently during Bike Park operational hours (10-5), this may not be the spot for you.

These sites may be quieter and a bit more family friendly. Fire rings are located in the communal base area, and are subject to local fire restrictions. Often summer weather closes fire rings. Small propane fit pits are permitted in campsites. Expect evening gatherings at the base area. Please enjoy our pump track, communal base area, and hiking trails.

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres · St Ignatius, Lake

Escape the daily grind and spend a night (or two or more) on our small family-run herb farm, nestled at the base of the foothills of the Mission Mountain Tribal Wilderness on the Flathead Indian Reservation. We’re just a short walk from Mission Reservoir and the expansive Mission Mountains, close to the National Bison Range, two hours from Glacier NP, four hours from Yellowstone NP, one hour north of Missoula, 15 minutes from the Jocko River, 30 minutes from the Flathead River, and 45 minutes south of Flathead Lake. Outdoor recreation activities are fairly limitless in this area. Please keep in mind that we are 1.5 hours from the change to the Pacific Timezone (on I-90 at the Idaho/MT border). From our farm, it's 4 miles into St. Ignatius (pop. 839) which hosts a grocery store, thrift store, Napa Auto, hardware store, two bars, post office, medical clinic, two diners, dentist, and more. Guests are also welcome to peruse our website (www.awesomeherbsmt.com) and purchase some of our farm-grown herbal teas, culinary herbs, and herb salts (select "Pickup" and we'll deliver it to your tent/camper). We are queer and anti-racist. We require that all people who visit the farm be queer-friendly and anti-racist. Please do not request to stay with us if these values do not align with your own. We have nine sites available: two large bell tents, one small bell tent, one wall tent, space for four additional tents, and one space available for RVs/campervans. The two larger bell tents are furnished with full beds and bedding, perfect for couples or small families seeking a spacious on-farm retreat. The smaller bell tent has twin cots and bedding, ideal for individuals or children. Each tent is equipped with solar string lights and fans, a bed w/ bedding, a side table, and a power outlet to charge your devices. Outside of the tents you'll find a cozy communal fire pit outside, perfect for evenings under the starry Montana sky. To cater to your culinary needs, we offer a communal kitchen area equipped with a table, propane grill, sink, and large counter. Whether you're cooking up a delicious meal with local farm ingredients or simply enjoying a picnic-style lunch, our kitchen area provides a lovely space to cook and eat. For your comfort, we have a privacy tent that houses a solar shower (not exactly hot!), allowing you to refresh and rejuvenate after a day of outdoor adventures. Additionally, we provide a well-maintained port-potty that is attended to weekly for your convenience. Here on the farm, we recognize that dogs are important members of the family. Well-behaved and friendly dogs (both to humans and dogs alike) are welcome to join you on your camping trip. However, we kindly request that you take responsibility for your furry friend and any potential damages they may cause during your stay. We have four farm dogs and often our workers have one or two additional dogs, as well. Please check-in in advance to let us know if you’ll be bringing a pet. We grow herbal tea and culinary herbs on our small farm in St. Ignatius, Montana. We harvest, dry, process, mix, and package in small batches, providing the freshest and highest quality herbal products possible. We follow organic practices by applying compost, cover-cropping, and rotating crops, and we don't use any chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides.

Camping near Great Falls guide

Rolling plains stretch as far as the eye can see in Great Falls, Montana. The Missouri River cuts through the fields, thundering over five waterfalls as it winds through town. In 1805, these falls forced Lewis and Clark into a month-long overland detour on their way west. Today, you can trace that historic portage from your campsite. The town is also a jumping-off point for everything from the east side of Glacier National Park to Montana’s unique island mountain ranges. If you enjoy having plenty of elbow room at tent and RV sites surrounded by lush rivers and national forests, Great Falls is an excellent destination on the route to Canada.

Where to Go

Giant Springs State Park

Essentially right in town, the day-use Giant Springs State Park is set on the Missouri River with waterfront walking paths and plenty of parking. The Lewis and Clark Expedition recorded their experience here, where the gushing freshwater remains a prominent feature of the lower Missouri River. Walk around, try your luck in the fishing ponds, stand on an overlook, and take in the contrast of the silted river system with the massive influx of crystal clear water. Choose a Hipcamp RV park nearby for easy access—many have full hookups and picnic tables.

The Missouri River

Running through Great Falls, the Missouri River provides numerous opportunities for camping along its banks. The waterway is a highlight of a number of small towns in the area, all with great fishing access—try Ulm, Cascade and Craig, all on the “trout highway” renowned among fly fishing enthusiasts. You could spend a lifetime walking and float-fishing this area with no shortage of great days on the water. The river continues northeast to Fort Benton and the Missouri River Breaks, where remote canoe trips are something to consider.

First People’s Buffalo Jump State Park

Just to the west of Great Falls is one of the great western archaeological and native culture sites in the United States. The day-use First People’s Buffalo Jump State Park’s limestone cliff was used on buffalo hunts, and it’s estimated that 18 feet of compacted bones are still layered beneath the cliffs. The park features walking paths, a museum, an amphitheater, and cultural displays, making it a great stop that rarely feels crowded.

Lewis and Clark National Forest

The closest public tent camping is in the first-come, first-served Thain Creek Campground in Lewis and Clark National Forest, about 40 miles east. From your site in the Highwoods Mountains, you can fish for trout or hike Windy Mountain.

Sluice Boxes State Park

About 45 minutes southeast of Great Falls, Sluice Boxes State Park is a rugged canyon area with hiking trails and opportunities for nightly backcountry camping only. Keep going to hit more of Lewis and Clark National Forest’s diverse landscape with forests, lakes, and mountains.

Glacier National Park

Although upwards of two hours from Great Falls, Glacier National Park is undoubtedly worth the trek. The renowned outdoor paradise draws campers with stunning mountain scenery, hiking trails, and abundant wildlife. Snag a coveted campsite in the park with an advance reservation, or opt for a more private Hipcamp just outside the park.

When to Go

Summer is the most enjoyable time for tent camping near Great Falls, Montana. During this time, Glacier National Park has exceptional hiking, backpacking, and horsepacking, while the Bob Marshall Wilderness is a popular backcountry region in summer when trails are accessible and open. Paddling the Missouri River is also excellent in the prime summer months. Spring and fall bring fewer crowds and are still great times to get on the water for fishing. Great Falls winters are cold and windy, though RV camping is still possible and the Little Belt Mountains offer backcountry snowshoeing and winter hiking.
