31mi from Plains · 8 sites · Tents, RVs · Trout Creek, MT

Little Beaver Creek Ranch is in the heart of western Montana, between the historic towns of Trout Creek and Thompson Falls. The ranch is a combination of an historic and working remnant of Montana’s ranching past, and stunning natural beauty - - wide-open meadows with unobstructed views of the surrounding Rocky Mountains. Over 4000' of Little Beaver Creek provide the boundary to fenced & cross-fenced hay fields with a backdrop of the Bitterroot and Cabinet Mountains. The scenery is exceptional and area resources are astounding. Finding refuge on the ranch, wildlife is plentiful and diverse. The nostalgic, red 7,200 square foot, 7-stall barn serves as a functional centerpiece to the property and as a solid scenic landmark. Historic structures abound, with two barns, a carriage house, school house and bunkhouse to explore. A four-bedroom guest house offers short and long-term options for overnight accommodations. RV camping (large level site, covered patio, picnic table, electric and water hook-up) is also available through the Hip Camp program. The setting supports special events, weddings, horse boarding, cattle grazing and other activities, including winter cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Little Beaver Creek Ranch is surrounded by public lands with miles of backcountry hiking trails, and roads. Additionally, nearby Sex and Cougar Peak historic fire lookouts are available for overnight stays. These area resources also include easy access to the Clark Fork, Flathead, Big Blackfoot, Bull, Yaak and Kootenai Rivers, as well as Noxon Reservoir, Flathead and Pend Oreille Lakes for exceptional boating and fishing opportunities. Sweitzer and Lookout Pass ski resorts are a reasonable drive from the property and offer outstanding skiing and support facilities.

Waterfront serenity tucked into the timeless beauty of an old homestead. Gods Country. A place where the past lingers gently, offering quiet moments and a slower rhythm, steeped in the spirit of simpler times. The property has a railroad track nearby with trains running several times a day. There is no whistle, but if you are a light sleeper the rumble may be a disturbance. 23.5 hours a day are incredibly peaceful. The other half hour is a nostalgic sound track, echoing the spirit of American industry that helped build a nation!

We loved staying at Robert and Mary’s ranch! The property is so quiet and beautiful, it was a great retreat. The spot is very private and we were lucky enough to walk the land and get a tour. Robert and Mary are very friendly. This was probably our favorite Hipcamp property thus far!

Weekend Trip to Little Beaver Creek Ranch

We arrived on a Friday afternoon and were greeted by Mary the owner who is very friendly and helpful. She jumped on her ATV and lead us to our camp spot. The views are breathtaking! The property has a beautiful trail at the edge of the property that goes over a creek and cows crazing in the field right next to it. It was fun to look at all the farm animals which included horses, chickens, goats and very friendly dogs. There is no internet near the camp spots. On Sunday morning, Rob the owner came over to chat with the two other campers that were there. He invited a mom and her young son to take a ride in the side by side to help him move the cows to a different field which I’m sure was so much fun for all. We camp a lot and this is one of the best camping experiences we have had and can’t wait to go back!

Pretty little spot with a clean porta potty and beautiful sunset view. Lots of birds and deer! The trains didn’t bother me but I was in a camper van. Spotty Verizon service.

This site is truly awesome! The view was spectacular. Trina met me and drove me up the hill to direct me to the spot and made sure everything was in order before leaving me to my spot. Sunset was gorgeous and in the morning I had a deer munching just 10 feet away as I brushed my teeth in the outdoor sink. Highly recommend.

Megan and Jay were wonderful hosts!! Even though we arrived much later than expected, they were so kind to welcome us and guide us to our private, peaceful campsite. We woke up next to donkeys and horses, also being greeted by Tom the hipcamp dog! We were surrounded by mountains by day, and glimpses of the milky way by night. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful campsite.

Easy to find spot. Right off the main road we were taking to Glacier National Park the next day. We had it all to ourselves so it was super peaceful! There is a train track super close with a pretty active train, but we loved it. Clean porta potty and nice picnic tables.
