Geary Brothers Ranch

My boyfriend and I were traveling through Montana and found this spot. The reviews seemed pretty good so we were excited to stay here for one night. I think the timing of our arrival had an impact on our experience. We got to the site a little after 10 pm and it was dark. There was no clear signage as to where Hipcampers were supposed to go or set up camp. The place they say to go if you have questions was closed by this time and we didn’t have service to reach out and ask for more information. We got to the location and there was no one else on the site. We weren’t sure where to go so we followed a dirt road/path that I would recommend only a 4x4 go down. We didn’t really feel safe because it was so unclear of what was going on. Maybe if we arrived earlier in the day it would’ve been better. We personally wouldn’t recommend staying here. We ended up finding a campground 30-40 minuets down the main road and set up camp there. There were designated sites, fire rings, and picnic tables.

Camping with the cows

This was a great place to stay very peaceful and quiet. Surrender by cows running around was nice to watch. They did rub on my trailer and knock my motorcycle over so make sure everything is sturdy but this was a fabulous place.

Lots of space.

Jacob's place was easy to find with lots of flat space to find a spot. There were 20+ other campers with RVs and it didn't feel crowded. Great stay.
