We loved camping on Chris’s land! He greeted us at the entrance and showed us to the site on his bike. Chris was a wonderful and friendly host and told us all about his property. We took a little walk and dip in the river and enjoyed the incredible stargazing. Definitely recommend for a peaceful and beautiful weekend camping!

Beautiful location a bit off the beaten path. Chris was welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
There is a train that runs across the back of the field but it wasn't disruptive. We could hear shooting from a nearby range during daylight hours.

This is a beautiful property with all sorts of interesting things around to explore. Chris was out helping some neighbors when we arrived but we were shown to our campground by his dutiful and adorable wirehair dog, Glock! Thanks Glock! Very close to the Missouri River and we had plenty of privacy for our stay. We would book here again if staying in the area!

Chris has a wonderful piece of property that we really enjoyed staying at. There was plenty of room for all our rigs and Chris was very welcoming. The campsite and porta-potty were really clean. Loved that there was trash and recycling on site. I wish the proximity of the train had been mentioned ahead of time. Not sure it would have changed our stay, but would have been good to know about.

Chris's property was lovely. It had pretty views, plenty of space to park your RV or set up tents and was close to the Missouri River.
Chris was onsite to greet us and checked in with us each day. He was able to provide information on activities in the area that we were interested in.

Chris's land was very close to the Missouri. It was easy to access the river with a short 5 min drive. Chris was very friendly and knowledgable. He gave us quite a few pointers for the area. The land is also close to mountain bike trails, which would be better in the Spring and Fall.

It was peaceful, had beautiful sunset views. He was very helpfull and accomodating. Even with a non-normal trailer setup everything was easy and nice. Would stay here again at a drop of the hat and was a great value!

We had a great time! Chris was an excellent host. The property is beautiful, quiet, and feels very private. Our dog loved being able to run around and burn off energy. We highly recommend this place and can’t wait to come back!

We dry camped with our pop up camper. There was a clean and comfortable port-a-potty available for use—not too close but not too far from the site. Perfect! The location is plenty off the interstate—that is a pro! The scenery is beautiful with mountains surrounding the valley. There is a train that runs occasionally next to the property but it adds to the ambiance —it beats road traffic noise any day. Nobody in my family minded the train at night and I ran a fan to soften it (we had a generator). It wasn’t close to the site at all, no safety concerns.
Almost complete privacy at our site; only one other camper who passed through after one night.
Chris was friendly and accommodating. He was available but not intrusive. Very responsive. If you want out of the traditional campgrounds then you want to try this place out. The red site that we stayed at was my favorite of the options available.

Chris's land was peaceful. We enjoyed a nice quiet walk up the hillside from the Cliff camp spot along the fence line. When we got to the top, we enjoyed a beautiful view of the valley and the river and train tracks. We also enjoyed having the trains go by, they were quiet trains and moved slowly though the valley, and this added to the ambiance of his space. We could tell he puts a lot of care into his campsites and wants to be as accommodating as possible. We would enjoy camping here again as a pass through spot between national parks.

I had a really great time here. Chris was very nice and super responsive. He met me at the gate and showed me where I was staying. It was beautiful and very well kept. There were people at the two other sites that I barely noticed. There was room between the sites that I didn’t even see them. I had a good time walking around and it was very relaxing. The only thing I would add, and this isn’t a negative…there is a small decline down the hill to the Blue site (didn’t see the other sites). Would be difficult if you have mobility issues (chair, walker, cane). Easily doable for most people though.

Lovely property. Friendly folks. Really appreciated the outhouse set up with recycling bins with the trash. I stayed at CliffSide Blue in spring. I took advantage of the wood and the propane fire pit which was really nice to have.
Lots to explore around the property & beyond.
It’s close to Buffalo Jump $ Lewis & Clark State Cavers. Also close enough to Bozeman if you wanted to go to Bozeman Hotsprings or something else. The river is close by if you wanted to fish, float, kayak.. but you could also spend a whole day exploring the area. It looks like there’s a bike train on the other side of the train tracks? So if you want to bike that’s an option too!
The train will definitely wake you up. I’m a deep sleeper & it got me. But I went right back to sleep no biggie. It is pretty cool to see the train round the corner.
Tiny Creek is the most private away from the other two campsites & seems the most protected from the wind. (But probably the most mosquitoes. Lots of options for where to put your tent at each site.
Was given safety information & provided little binder with property information. I’ll bet it’s lovely in the summer.
be aware of rattle snakes in the hot days

My wife and I loved staying here! We loved how well taken care of the land was and how our doggo was able to run and play. We also appreciated how friendly Morgan was and how he explained the area so we knew our surroundings. Staying here definitely gave us a positive memory of Montana.

Directions are spot on, just make sure you turn North. So if going West on 90 you make a right turn and don't go under the freeway. There was a couple in the next site the first night but after that we had the place to ourselves. There is hiking available. Owner has two sweet dogs. We would stay again if in the area.

Excellent hospitality. The site was private, clean, and conveniently close to the bathroom (but not too close). The hosts were amazing and the property was great, complete with an outdoor kitchen with water, electricity, and WiFi when needed. Would recommend to anyone!

Lovely spot! Our family had a wonderful time, the Hosts were super friendly and helpful and the site had everything we needed and more. We loved all the close hiking trails! We saw a turtle, bald eagles, a horned owl and a moose on our hikes! Appreciated the porta potty close but not too close! Might get hot there a little later in summer due to the lack of trees/shade but the umbrella was good enough for us on our mild weather weekend! Worth the slight jaunt from "civilization"!

Morgan’s camping spot is perfect - thoughtful touches, clear directions, and great communication. They have two friendly pups, and there’s a lovely walk up a hill on the property for beautiful morning views. My pup and I had a lovely stay and would certainly be happy to return again. Thanks for having us!
