Escape to our serene spot just a short walk from Broadwater Hot Springs along the scenic US Highway 12. Whether you’re here to soak, hike, or ride, you’ll love our convenient location—Ten Mile Creek is nearby, Helena’s famous mountain biking and hiking trails are just minutes away, and downtown Helena is only 12 minutes from your campsite. We are also located 15 miles from The Great Divide, a fantastic ski and snowboard mountain. Nestled at the base of McDonald Pass, our property offers the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation in Montana’s beautiful outdoors.Looking for a peaceful, convenient place to stay while passing through Helena? Our private campsite is located just off the highway, making it an easy overnight stop for small camper vans, truck campers, and slide-in campers. The campsite sits next to our growing garden and includes a picnic table beneath a large elm tree—perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or relaxing after a day of travel. Guests are also welcome to use our shared community fire pit (weather permitting). This is a dry camping site with no hookups, so guests must be fully self-contained. We're within walking distance of Broadwater Hot Springs and just a short drive from downtown Helena, making it easy to enjoy a soak, grab dinner, or explore the area before getting back on the road. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a leash. Winter Note: Snow can make access difficult during the winter. Feel free to message us for current conditions before your stay. We'd love to host you on your Montana adventure!
