A sanctuary away from everyday life, where you can relax and reconnect with nature. Yurt has electricity, a wood stove for heat in winter, a beautiful outdoor kitchen and bathhouse, and a year round creek nearby. Only 45 minutes from Missoula Montana. Games and books in the yurt. Cedar outhouse. Lots of extras to make for a truly remarkable glamping experience. We offer breakfast and french press organic coffee for an additional fee. Mostly secluded, situated above our garden and raspberry patch, so we are on that side of the garden early on summer mornings.

Super handy for kayaking. Great spot to stay. Bring earplugs as the highway trucks can be noisy at night. Plenty of room to spread out.

2 nights at Sanctuary Farm Yurt Glamping

We loved our time at Sanctuary Farm. The farm itself is on a private road, off a minor country road in a heavily treed area - The drive there is spectacular. You know you are in for something special! The yurt was placed well away from the owner's home, which gave lots of privacy and the night sky is DARK, so perfect for stargazing. The composting sawdust outhouse was a short walk from the yurt & surprisingly pleasant - no odor or flies and plenty of ventilation. 1000 times nicer than a port-o-potty. The solar heated camp shower provided by the host worked great. Just be sure to shower in the evening after the water has had all day to heat up! The optional breakfast was delish - definitely worth the cost & we ate out for our other meals, so never used the outdoor kitchen. We enjoyed our time here & would definitely recommend it to others seeking a stay off-the-beaten path.

This piece of property had the elements I needed to relax after a long overdue planned vacation. The camp host was phenomenal at communicating and offered numerous local options in the area to eat at. They have 7 sites and we stayed at site #3 the deck offered a beautiful view of the water. Several communal sites with BBQ and pub style seating. The outdoor lights at night were so nice to have when night swimming. Had two dogs who loved swimming in the lake. Very well maintained property the owners truly take pride in this camp and it shows. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs to reconnect with Mother Nature!

Weekend Trip to Triple Bridges Campground

The site was perfect for us and our dogs traveling with us. They loved the freedom to sniff and explore. The trail to the sandy beach was a nice stroll. The train traffic was light, and hwy noise was not really a problem. It was nice to have a picnic table, and plenty of space to put our chairs. The gate is not really green anymore, but it’s the only gate, so we figured it out. The old hwy bridge has a spectacular view of the gorge. Nice spot for the night.

Very good access to Alberton Gorge. Pretty small site if all 3 locations were full, but a cool spot anyway. Definitely road and train noise but it did not keep us awake at all. Great access to the sandy beach.

Loved the unique spot here- in the trees, near the river with a trail down to it, the light on the cliffs in the morning- beautiful! My husband had a hard time sleeping with some train and traffic noise, and I slept great. If you’re a super light sleeper, this may not be your top pick. It was, however, a beautiful place to wake up to after a Missoula concert, when headed back to Washington in the morning :)
