1 night at Montana Safari

This was a wonderful place to camp! We stayed 3 nights and added a 4th. Great views, very quiet, the dogs had room to run off-leash and play ball, and the greeters as we pulled in were a beautiful herd of about 20 Longhorns! We met Megan and her daughter - really nice folks. The road in is gravel but extremely well maintained. We were in a 30ft. pull trailer. Thanks so much to Ryan and Megan!! Great stay!!!

The campsite is located in bare prairie with some nice views of the countryside. We went for the longhorn feeding and this did not disappoint - it was a great experience. During our weekend stay we were graced by a full moon, which made a beautiful Montana sky even more stunning.

We had a lovely couple of nights at this property. The cabin was clean & comfortable with quiet surroundings. The yard is beautiful & spacious, perfect for our dogs to roam about. The kitchen is well equipped, and we were very grateful for the opportunity to do laundry. Proximity to both the mountains & the canyon was a huge perk.

Easy enough to find with a little help from Google. Lots of space with lots of big trees. Big time quite only interrupted by bird calls and songs. Friendly host Dan who’ll even set you up with a campfire. Short walk to restroom/showers. Water is hot and facilities are clean. All for a nice price. Thanks Dan. Definitely recommend.
