Big Hole Boondockin' is located in Southwest Montana along the beautiful banks of the Big Hole River. River View Livestock, a 300 acre working cattle ranch, surrounds our camping areas which gives you the opportunity to enjoy a real Montana ranch experience. If you're not into the ranch lifestyle, hop on a raft, inner tube or kayak and float down the river enjoying a cold beverage. We also offer bank fishing on our private property. Stressed? Book some time with our emotional support animals and snuggle one of the pigs or cows to take some stress out of your life. These animals are part of our family and love to sit and relax with humans, begging for belly scratches and giving kisses. The cell service & wi-fi are very iffy here. T-Mobile works great. If you have Verizon or AT&T you will not have service right at the campsite. You may have to walk or drive a bit to get a signal or the local restaurant & bar has free wi-fi for patrons. Whatever your camping dream is, our focused, friendly staff will work to achieve it. We look forward to hosting you and your family and friends and sharing our day to day dream life.

Lost Trail Hot Springs Resort

11. Lost Trail Hot Springs Resort

16mi from Big Hole National Battlefield

Gallogly Hot Springs, also known as Lost Trail Hot Springs since the 1970s, offers a unique retreat for travelers crossing the Continental Divide at Gibbons Pass. Nestled in a secluded area, this natural hot spring has served as a peaceful resting spot for those embarking on the challenging ascent of the old Indian trail, which climbs approximately 2,000 feet over just three miles. The soothing waters provide a perfect respite before tackling the strenuous journey ahead. The history of Gallogly Hot Springs dates back to 1892 when a woman built a cabin to keep her invalid son close to the healing waters. Although she only stayed for about two years and left the cabin unfinished, her efforts marked the beginning of human connection to this tranquil site. In 1894, Mr. Denning became the first to channel the hot water through a pipe to his comfortable cabin, which featured a cozy stone fireplace located about a quarter-mile from the springs. Unfortunately, fate intervened when a tree fell and crushed his cabin while he was away, prompting him to relocate. Today, Gallogly Hot Springs remains a hidden gem, inviting visitors to experience its natural beauty and therapeutic waters. The surrounding landscape offers opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, exploring nearby swimming holes, and enjoying the serene environment.

This is an amazing spot. As a Traveling Chef, I sometimes crave some peace and quiet and cook myself a steak. This was the PERFECT location for that!! Very quiet, and private. Waking up to see the sun peak over the hills, made a very magical morning. It was a very breathtaking way to get introduced to Montana. Lynda had everything you need to fully enjoy the space, and was the perfect host. I will definitely be back and I will definitely recommend any of the spots out there. Thank you!!

What can I say but WOW! From the view of the Sula Mountain to a fully stocked tent with a wood stove. This is truly an amazing experience to be had. Lynda was wonderful to speak with and talk about life. My wife and I just spent hours gazing in the evening and night sky before nestling into a king bed with a heated blanket! We kicked off our next morning with cooking breakfast over the wood stove. If you are ever in the area this is a must stay.

Such a spectacular place to stay!! Just what I needed. Not only is it beautiful on the inside, the bed is INSANELY comfortable (heated blanket was super helpful during a 30 something degree night), and the view in the morning is breathtaking. Pictures don't do it justice. There's everything you need in the tent. I would highly HIGHLY recommend Lynda's property!

I loved staying here. About 1.5 hours south of Missoula in the Bitterroot mountains lies this wonderful camp. It is surrounded by trees, trails, and mountains. Finding it was very easy, checking in was simple and communication was awesome. The photos and small touches of hospitality do not do this space justice. Come for relaxation and amenities, watch the stars at night, and stay warm by the fire. I was blown away and cannot wait to return.

We spent 2 incredible nights at Oxen Le Fields. Lynda greeted us upon arriving and her kind and friendly demeanor set a great tone for the trip. We enjoyed driving up to Sula peak and exploring the Bitterroot Valley. The bed was super comfortable and we had a blast being able to camp comfortably on a cool fall weekend. Our last morning we woke up to beautiful snow covered fields and mountains. It was so cozy in the tent, Lynda made sure we had plenty of firewood and the stove and electric blankets kept us very warm. Would highly recommend staying here!

This site was beautiful! Lynda was so kind and helpful. There is a nice trail near the cabin and is easily accessible (it is steep though!). The cabin was perfect, the pictures don’t do it justice. Our dog loved the fenced in area. It’s also the perfect place to look at the stars. Highly recommend!

Lynda’s tent was so nice to stay in! She is an incredible host, baked fresh cookies and had everything looking perfect. The property is STUNNING and so peaceful up there. I love how she had snacks available, watercolor and rock painting for kids, a hammock, wood stove, heater, and everything you could wish for in a place like that! Clearly, she is passionate about camping and has put in a lot of love into her sites.

Lynda was a wonderful host and we felt warmly welcomed from the first moment. The views are just as beautiful as the photos, and the location is peaceful and serene. We enjoyed access to the neighboring forest land for an evening hike. Our accommodations in Tent #1 were cozy and comfortable. We appreciated finding the woodstove stocked and ready to go - perfect for making coffee and breakfast. Water is available from a spigot and restroom facilities are in a small but clean tent with a composting toilet. WiFi and cell service were reliable. We loved our stay. Highly recommend!

Lynda responded well to my questions and was a great, friendly host. The views were vast and beautiful. The cabin was just right for me and my husband - coffee, views, and trails was all we needed.

Linda had a great setup to enjoy an early spring glamping experience. The wood stove kept us warm through the night even with the rain. Bed was so comfortable and the setting gorgeous. She is hoping to make a bath house in the future which will be such a plus. We would definitely enjoy this space again, especially as it is dog friendly.

Lynda has a really nice hill-top property with some very thoughtful touches added to the tent: Little snacks, hot cocoa & tea, a deck of cards and a Hammock to lie in to watch the sunset. Something to consider is that although there is a very helpful woodstove, when we stayed in mid March it was in the 20s at night so be prepared to use every single cozy blanket and have a way to keep our liquids from freezing :) Overall, beautiful spot and lovely host
