**Have friends or family that want to tag along? I have added an extra to allow for extra campers at the same site. See the extras section for details.**
Resting in the foothills of the sapphire mountains, just outside the town of Stevensville Montana, this beautiful 20 acre property is conveniently located halfway between Hamilton and Missoula; it is also a good midway point between Yellowstone and Glacier national parks. The outdoor activities are endless. Biking, hiking, fishing, swimming, hunting, trail riding, snow skiing and more are all within reach. Deer, turkey, osprey, killdeer, nighthawks, and eagles frequent the property as well as the occasional elk herd; and the Lee Metcalf wildlife refuge is about 15 minutes away.
The property sits about 400’ above the valley floor; giving spectacular panoramic views of the bitterroot valley and mountains, as well as incredible sunsets.
The paved road ends about 1 mile before the property, the remaining mile is a gravel road. There is also a one lane bridge right before you get to the property. Firewood is available for use at no charge. Sewer hookup has not been run to the site yet but if you have a portable tank, or want to pull the camper over to the house, it can be dumped as needed beside the garage; just ask and I can show you where the pipe is. There is a nema 14-50 hookup providing 50 amp power at the site; if needed I do have a 50 to 30 amp adapter you can borrow during your stay. Water hookup is also available at the site, but may be limited in freezing weather. If temperatures are to cold we can turn on the water to fill your tank as needed and then blow the line back out. If you need to borrow a potable water hose let me know as i keep those in the garage unless needed. There is a non-potable water hose that is available at the site, with a spray nozzle, incase you need to rinse or wash off gear, vehicles, etc. SpaceX Starlink high speed internet is available via WiFi. You can also charge your electric vehicle, if needed, with the power at the campsite or I have another nema 14-50 plug available at the garage of the main house. Be sure to let me know if you will need the plug at the garage so I can make sure it is accessible. If you have other questions feel free to contact me and I will do my best to answer them.

Great spot with a lovely view over the valley. James’ father John met us, helped to empty the RV and then helped us get set.
James's homegrown ham, sausages and eggs made it even better.

What a beautiful view!! We really enjoyed this spot. It seemed very private and had unbelievable views of the Bitterroot mountains. Don’t let the rough road and questionable bridge deter you. Just take it slow. We made it with our 35 ft fifth wheel and double towing an ATV trailer with no problems. And the pull-through site that James created was perfect for us. We would definitely stay here again.

I loved camping here! I rented the most private site, which opened up the entire SW corner area of their property. There aren’t roads, but they keep the land really clean and there are cleared routes. It’s uphill; steepish but my Subaru was fine, and once you crest the bench it’s a park! I literally went to the SW corner and it was flat, private, open and shady. Just perfect. As were the visits from the gorgeous, friendly horses. There is no avoiding the highway noise, but a good attitude and a little music and you don’t notice. Great hosts too. Easy communication and really generous with the land and my privacy. So glad I landed there!

Perfect place to set up camp and relax when exploring Butte and Anaconda, very quite and beautiful mountain views. We were given a tour of the old town on arrival. Enjoyed learning about each building and it's history. As a Yellowstone 1923 fan we loved seeing the post office from seen 5 shot on site at Gunslinger Ranch. We did not cause a raucous but some how we end up in JAIL! No really...Camping showers were being repaired and Karen offered us to take a showers in the Jail. I would recommend the jail for an accommodation. What a cool space!

This was a really nice spot to camp in our van for a couple of days. It was so incredibly quiet at night, and in morning and evening it was fun to walk out pup up the old west street, looking at the cool old buildings, and visit the goats and horses up the way. Our host met us when we arrived and was very welcoming. You can tell this place is a work in progress but that it's a labor of love - we got to peek in one of the empty units and it was really nicely done inside but still completely rustic and authentic feeling - loved the high ceilings and clawfoot tub. We would definitely stay again.

Was a nice campground. Relatively level. Wide open spaces but there are no designated spots so you just park wherever.
Very quiet. Sign on 271 turnoff would be nice as it was a bit hard to find. I was there for the Old Salt festival and there was a shuttle going to and from the festival that dropped you right off at the festival grounds. I believe the drivers name was Martin. He was great and really worked long hours to accommodate the festival goers.

Wonderful area that suited our needs perfectly. Mary Ann was very pleasant to interact with and was very accommodating. It’s very close to the highway but if you’re alright with that I would definitely recommend. There were hardly any bugs to deal with. There’s a swimming hole in the river 3 minutes up the road and salmon lake is only 11 minutes away.
