Hidden Meadow offers a peaceful retreat with stunning mountain views and easy access right off the highway. Campers appreciate the level pasture, friendly cows, and the quiet solitude, making it an ideal stop for both tent campers and those with small to medium rigs. The directions are reliably clear, and the host is praised for quick and helpful communication. However, campers with large rigs should take weather into consideration due to potential challenges on the grass trail.

Communing with the cows

Located just off the highway, Hidden Meadow is a very easy and convenient stop. It is relaxing and quiet and the curious cows were a plus. Thank you for sharing your ranch

Great overnight stop
27 ft Class C
Very easy access off I90 for a quick overnight stop. We were the only ones there besides the cows, who were all very curious and friendly. They were in a separate field but came right up to the fence to check us out. I would stay again.

Quiet, secluded and scenic
36 ft Class A · With kids
This was a nice flat fenced pasture surrounded by hills and Mountain views. It was a tight corner and longer down a grass trail than we expected to get to the location and I was thankful we hadn’t had recent wet weather or our class a never would have made it. I would advise weather based caution for large rigs but we managed and had a nice time. We had a campfire in the metal ring and kids enjoyed hotdogs and smores. Neighboring cattle observed as the kids ran around and played football. For medium, small rigs and tent camping it’s a fantastic location if you want solitude. Thankyou for hosting.

The BEST spot
Tent
We booked this on a whim before the 4th and are SO happy we did!!! Jodi’s Place is incredible… we loved seeing and being around all the cows. The mountains surrounding the pasture were STUNNING. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful pink sunset followed by Elmer’s insane firework show from across the street at the GEM bar!!!! Would 100% recommend and will be back!

This is a great site for a relaxing stay. It is just an open field but the views are stunning. It is easy in and out (we have a 19' travel trailer). No hookups. Just peace and quiet.

We had the whole pasture to ourselves. Great affordable stopover before heading to Yellowstone. Our family laid on a blanket and looked at all the stars in the big Montana sky!

Pasture Stay

Tent camping on this pasture was GORGEOUS. The host was incredibly kind, communicative, and flexible. Our prior site fell through last minute and the host approved us staying within a few moments. Host is very transparent about amenities and GPS navigation. Would stay again!

Easy on and off 90, close to the exit, great directions to a peaceful spot with a beautiful view. Love staying here on our trek to northwest Montana. We double tow and it works fantastic for us.

The views are beautiful. Super close to I-90 but far enough away that you can’t hear the road noise. Jodi was so accommodating. I drove right past the hip camp I was supposed to be at and was heading for this second night reservation. She was quick to respond to my request to come and stay a night ahead of schedule. Site was perfect for me and my dog. Lots of walking and swimming in the river for the pooch. Felt very safe. Would stay again.

We enjoyed a lovely, quiet, peaceful stay at the Hidden Meadows pasture site. The pasture is large and we had the place all to ourselves. The host’s communication was incredibly quick, friendly and responsive. We would absolutely stay again!
