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.

Ponderosa Pine Ranch camp

1 site · RV, Tent3 acres · Three Forks, MT

Learn more about this land: Our property is in a close proximity to the Fairweather Fishing access on the Missouri River. Camping is not allowed at the access so we would be the closest camping site to this great outdoor playground. There is opportunity for fishing, floating, boating, hunting and swimming in the summer . There are groves of mature trees and open sites available. This is directly off of paved county road. The property adjacent to ours has the original ranch house and barn and other outbuildings that were part of the Ponderosa Pine Ranch which owned most of the valley we're in. The ranch house and buildings were divided away from our part of the property several years ago, so we have our home here and what was mostly pasture. The campsites are all pasture grass with trees for shade. We do not have cell phone service here. We have one site that has 30 amp electricity. Also we do not have trash service .

RV camping near Helena guide

Overview

Montana's capital city makes a great base for exploring this largely wild state, with lots of RV camping opportunities to boot. There are quite a few RV parks in and around town, along with Hipcamps on private farms, most of which only accommodate one or two groups of campers at a time. A few are located on or near the Missouri River or its lakes, many with picnic tables, dump stations, 50-amp hookups, toilets, and more. For a public, waterfront alternative, Black Sandy State Park has lots of RV campsites, all of which have electric hookups (available from May through November). Other public options include Missouri Headwaters State Park, where the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers converge, and Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest, which has over half a dozen RV camping areas spread across two districts: the Castle Mountain Range and the Rocky Mountain Range.
