100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

Welcome to our little slice of paradise! Conveniently located just minutes from the Montana City exit on I-90, yet you would never know how close you are to Helena's city center and all the outdoor activities it has to offer. This property is lush with multiple walking trails to gardens and creek access. Camp spots are all level and well maintained with picnic tables and fire rings. Easy access to multiple spots on Prickly Pear Creek with fishing and wading. 10 to 20 minutes to shopping centers, schools, fairgrounds, baseball fields, and soccer fields. Plenty of room for trailers to turn around!We have nearly 5 acres bordering prickly pear creek and maintained county roads. Access to the McClellan Creek walking trail is right outside the driveway. On the property we have enclosures for a large garden and an apiary. Please do not disturb the hives! A geodesic greenhouse with koi pond is also on site, however access may not always be available. Benches are on the property for relaxing along several trails. The property is very centrally located, yet extremely secluded! The property is located next to a transfer station, there is no smell however it opens at nine so you can expect some minor vehicle noise

Great site, easy access, very well maintained. Ryan was super responsive and very helpful. Lovely mown paths to the creek. Perfect meander with the dogs in the morning. Also, beehives! ❤🐝

Not a good experience

34 ft fifth wheel

The entrance to this property is not well defined. There was no "RV" or "Hipcamp" signage to direct us. We ended up on a neighbor's property, and apparently, we were the third such RV in recent weeks to make the same error. Luckily we were able to turn around. This hipcamp owner needs to trim back the brush trees at the entrance to make the path to his property visible and add signage. Once on the property, we were disappointed. The pictures made it look much nicer than it was.

Wonderful little trails cut into brush to walk to creek. Some noise but quiet by 5pm. Great quick getaway.

This place is awesome. Our dogs were able to run around and we had the place to ourselves. Very private, lots of open space and a nice creek as well!

10/10 recommend this site. Beautiful setting, conveniently located very near I-15 and Helena, yet feels secluded and peaceful! Host communicated well. We hope to stay here again.

Such a great spot!!!

38 ft fifth wheel

A great secluded spot you would never know was there. Just like the directions said, turn immediately after crossing the creek (Prickly Pear) and hug the fence of the little fishing access. I was pulling a long gooseneck trailer so had to turn wide and was tempted to go down the wrong road to my left but saw Ryan's sign and cable. Got out and walked in to make sure and was surprised at how nicely the space opened up on the other side of the entry. Had more than enough space to just make a big circle and turn around and set up camp. Then there are pathways that take you all around to explore and escape or even try some fishing holes. Also, such a convenient location near yet far enough away from the interstate to get in and out quick and easy. Can't wait to visit this site again!!! Thanks Ryan

We were the first campers they told us, which shocked us! This was a great, quiet space! They have a lovely river where you can do some fishing for fun (catch and release), great spot! They will be putting in a fire pit which will be fantastic! They are great hosts and they have a beautiful land! Thank you guys so much! We enjoyed it very much so ◡̈
