This was a great location for visiting friends in Bozeman. The directions to the site were good and the site was clean, level, completely fenced, and offered electricity and water. We travel with two golden retrievers and after checking with our host, they were allowed to roam freely on the large, fenced property. We are very satisfied RVers and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wild Horse.

We camped at site 2 of Michael’s property for three nights while exploring the Bozeman area. I highly recommend this for several reasons. Michael is a wonderful host; very responsive with communications, friendly, and helpful once on site, as needed. He was generous to give us a dozen fresh eggs, which we enjoyed all of (Thank you, Michael!). The location was easy to set up at. It took very little effort to level my RV; potable water was readily accessible to add to my fresh water tank (I connected my own hose to the one already in place to add water to my tank at Site 2; Site 1 likely would not require any additional hose length); and the electric service was reliable (30 amp at Site 2; Site 1 has 50 amp). The location was quiet and the surrounding neighborhood is a nice area for walking. There is a Town Pump less than 3 miles away with a free RV dump station. I would definitely stay here again when in the area.

There are two sites on the property, which are very well kept with gravel. The site has 30 or 50 amp and potable water. We have a 35' Class A motorhome and a towed vehicle with plenty of space. It is a secure site and we felt very safe. There is lots of room for a pet to enjoy. If you will really like being woken up to the sounds of the rooster, so no alarm is required. The owners also provided a dozen eggs from the laying hens.
We have stayed here 4 seperate times and will go back again and again.

Great hip camp sign pointed our way to the rear of the property. Power and numbered camp sites are very visible and clear. It was nice to allow the dogs free rein which you cannot do at a park. Also the fresh eggs as others described was lovely. We stayed here to visit Big Sky, Livingston, Bozeman, and all the fun Montana could pack into 4 days! We were there for the 4th and had panoramic surround sound fireworks too!

The best beach camping near Virginia City guide
Where to go
Yellowstone National Park
With 2.2 million acres of parkland, Yellowstone is home to active geysers, waterfall hikes, scenic drives, and cozy campsites. The 12 campgrounds offer group camping and tent camping, with one RV campground featuring 50-amp hookups and a dump station. After setting up camp, admire Yellowstone’s unique geology from the comfort of the roads with a trip around the Grand Loop. Or, hike the expansive trail system to see Yellowstone Lake, multiple backcountry waterfalls, and spring wildflower blooms. If you can’t snag a campsite in the park, consider a Hipcamp just outside the Yellowstone entrance.
Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest
The largest national forest in Montana, Beaverhead-Deerlodge offers a scenic escape for camping, paddling, mountain hikes, and lakeside lounging. A host of campgrounds fill this 3.3 million-acre forest, with everything from cabin rentals and group camping to dispersed tent camping and RV campsites. Enjoy stunning mountain views in every season, but check campground amenities to see which spots offer winter access if visiting in the colder months.
Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest
Spanning seven mountain ranges, Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest is an outdoor hub for camping, hiking, horseback riding, and snow sports. Chase adrenaline in the winter with skiing and snowmobiling along the peaks, or wander through the meadows on scenic summer walking trails. For a unique holiday celebration, pick up a permit to cut a Christmas tree from the national forest. Find easy access to natural beauty with a stay at one of the forest’s many campgrounds, where most tent camping, RV campsites, and cabins offer basic amenities like toilets and drinking water.
When to go
Camping near Virginia City is most popular from June to September, when warm summer days make it inviting to explore mountain trails and lakeside hikes. Temperatures average in the low 80s. Nights can get chilly during the shoulder season, so bring extra layers to keep evenings around the campfire fun and cozy. Snowy winters make Montana an exciting destination for snow sports and winter scenery. Check up on Montana’s road condition report to plan a route through parks and forests.
