Private sites

100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.

Old Town River Ranch is a serine river front escape located in beautiful Three Forks Montana. We offer a private off grid camping experience directly on the Jefferson riverfront. We provide a limited number of campsites to maintain privacy for our guests, with just three riverfront spots and three creekside spots. Large aspens and willows span the property. Plenty of opportunities for fishing, swimming and wildlife viewing including bird watching. We do have a portable toilet on-site that is serviced weekly, otherwise this is a pack-in-pack-out site. Located just minutes off Interstate 90 (Exit 278) Old Town River Ranch offers a secluded getaway that’s close to all that Three Forks Montana has to offer, Sacajawea, farmers markets, shopping and Bridger Brewing for concerts and just 30 minutes to Bozeman. Stop by to see our friends at the Old Town Farm Stand just before the entry to our Ranch to get your fresh home baked goods & farm raised produce. Come stay a night, or a few, we think you'll enjoy it. Campsite & Camper Sizes. Campsites #1 #2 & #3 can accommodate large campers (up to 35 feet) with fair amount of room to maneuver. Campsite #4 is limited to Truck Campers, Sprinters or very small towables. Campsites #5 (up to 20ft) and Campsite #6 (up to 25ft) can accommodate mid-sized campers with limited but manageable room to maneuver. Notice. We implemented a comprehensive weed management program so campgrounds should be dramatically improved this year. Believe it or not some people don't know this. This is a campground on a river bottom in Montana. We keep it well but its fairly "raw" here. There can be wildlife - large & small game, maybe a few lost cows at times. There can be bugs - mosquitoes & spiders. There can be weeds. Water levels in the river vary dramatically depending on the time of year - sometimes high & fast other times low & slow. Sometimes it'll be really hot, dry & dusty, other times humid & muddy, maybe even flooded in areas, sometimes it can be cold & icy. If these things concern you it might be best to find an alternative. For everyone else, come on in and enjoy, we welcome you!

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
This campsite offers a peaceful retreat with beautiful views and a serene river, making it a great spot for stargazing and relaxing. Many campers appreciate the privacy and spacious sites, although some guests noted that the grounds could benefit from a bit more maintenance, as the grass was overgrown and picnic tables were sometimes in disrepair. The host is responsive and helpful, ensuring concerns like damaged amenities are addressed. Overall, it's a charming spot with a clean porta potty and proximity to a quaint town, though some might find the occasional highway noise and bugs near the water to be minor drawbacks.

It was okay
We had the entire place to ourselves for a whole weekend so it was extra private. Plus the porta potty was super clean and nobody else had used it. I communicated with the host about our damaged picnic table and he said it would be replaced for the next guests. He always got back to me about any questions I had. Overall it’s a very nice location, but the sites were a little overgrown and seemed they hadn’t been mowed in a while.

Recommends
Camped under the stars. Great river camping. A beautiful camp that's full of wildlife!

Tent camped at Creekside Campsite #5 with kids, Aug 2026.
Doesn't recommend
The location near the interstate is great, but the condition of the site is not up to what we have experienced with previous Hipcamp stays. The road in is 2 tracks through unmoved grass. The sites were mowed to roughly a 6" height. The picnic table was broken.
