This Hipcamp site was great while visiting the Bozeman MT area, especially when we had to be in town a few different times. There was plenty of space and our hosts were great!

It doesn’t really feel like you’re camping since you’re right in a neighborhood but it was exactly what we needed - a safe, clean, affordable place close to the interstate to spend the night. The bus is very cute and cozy and the bed is comfy. The outhouse is clean. It was the perfect spot to play a game, have a bite to eat, and get some rest before heading out in the morning for a long drive home. Emily is super welcoming and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable.

This is a fun way to rough it close to town without an enormous price tag. You must be willing to take a tiny trek to the ports-toilet, but the bed was comfortable. No one bothered us. Animals were adorable and not bothersome whatsoever. The real plus was the weather was very hot and the little portable air conditioner worked wonderfully to keep us comfortable and able to sleep well through the heat. Is it the Taj Mahal? Nope, but pretty darn close tho….. I enjoyed my stay very much.

4 nights at Cozy Cabin On 10 Acres!

The cozy cabin is very comfortable and warm to stay in and the vibe is very relaxing. It is set up for two people max and the bathroom door offers limited privacy, so couples that are comfortable with each other are best We were traveling with dogs and it was nice to be able to walk through the pasture to the Baker Creek where they could play. There is also a bootleg disc golf course in the public land across Amsterdam Road Also. The host and homeowner are quick to answer any questions And they were very helpful.
