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.

Unigue quiet tipi set on the edge Pintler National Forest, Anaconda Montana. Good location to unplug and recharge. There is no cell service at the property.(off grid) The property does have a outhouse, portable water and fire ring. Incredble views of Mount Haggin and surrounding mountain range. Short drive to Twin Lake Trailhead, Georgetown Lake and the Town of Anaconda. Twin Lakes Trailhead(3miles from tipi) open up opportunities to hike into several high alpine lakes and access the Continental Divid Trail. You can hike right off the property onto Forest Service roads and trails. Fishing and boating at Georgetown Lake. A wonderful location between Yellowstone National Park and Glaicer National Park.
I'm a outdoor, horse enthusiast doglover Montana woman. I'm sharing my property because this is where I go to unwind and relax. Unload the horse,unload the dog and leave the phone in the truck. The tipi location is in the mountains and primitive road getting to the tipi. Recommend a a high clearance vehicle. Dog friendly tipi please be consider and be a responsible dog owner.
Please call before leaving cell service. Will give detailed driving directions.

We really enjoyed our time on this property. It is a true taste of off grid living. It is not an in town rental, but instead your experience will be far from town with the comforts you still enjoy. Elk will keep you company when you wake up in the morning. The bathroom has a unique experience that just has to be seen to understand that is very enjoyable. The host provides a very hospitable experience. I would highly recommend and also recommend enjoying all the back roads that are accessible from this cabin.

We had a great stay at Doug and Shannon’s cabin! Located close to Salmon, but still remote and private. We stayed plenty warm in the cabin, and enjoyed the swing by the water. Would definitely recommend and would stay again next time we are in the area!

Weekend Trip to The Meadow
This was a very cute and homey cabin, perfect for a weekend getaway with my boyfriend. He originally wanted to camp, so even though the cabin is rustic, it was perfect for us. I especially enjoyed sitting on the loveseat on the porch. And having a coffee maker! The hosts were so friendly and welcoming.

1 night at 4D Ranch
We had a late arrival, and an early morning, but after we settled in, this was such a dreamy stay! It was an adventure to get there in the dark, and we were careful on the rocky road up to the spot. Our host recommends a higher clearance, which is necessary.
The sky is so big up there! Wow! The stars!!! The tipi was very cozy, and the bed was super comfy. ... And the morning - the coyotes yipping in the distance, a screech owl, the expansive view of the mountains in every direction, sunset colours with the tipi in the foreground... it was truly a one of kind experience.
Our only regrets is not having more time relax and enjoy, or use all the amenities, like the outdoor shower (it has hot water!).
Our host was so wonderfully accommodating as we scrambled to make arrangements. Thank you for everything! And for sharing this beautiful chunk of Montana with us.
(And ps. We loved Anaconda too... such a charmer of a town!)

What a beautiful peaceful place. We felt like we were in the middle of no where. If you are an experienced camper with a vehicle that can handle the roads of an out of the way place, this is an amazing spot. Denise was super helpful and supportive to our stay.

Denise's tipi is well-situated and has a lovely view. We experienced a really spectacular sunset while we had a late dinner. There are some extra perks in the campsite - a picnic table, a firepit, an outhouse, and so cool to sleep in a real bed while still having the 'camping' feel. I would recommend being sure to have camping supplies on hand like water and a stove for cooking & you will have a truly fantastic experience!

An absolutely lovely spot to relax for a day or a week. We wish we could have stayed all month!
The creek rushes by, cold and perfectly refreshing on a hot day. The cabin is adorable, comfortable, and well supplied. The outdoor kitchen, including fire pit, has everything one needs to cook gourmet camp meals and clean up afterwards. The nearby aspen groves are perfect for hammocks and shade any time of day.
We had just enough cell service (Verizon) in the meadow to stream Spotify and check our phones occasionally, though we did our best to keep them hidden away. Hosts are delightful—welcoming, accommodating, and generous. We bought lavender lotions and lip balm made right on site and enjoyed conversations with the whole family.
We will definitely be back, hopefully soon!

Group trip
Our family really enjoyed getting to stay on Denise's land. The Tipi was comfortable and Denise gave thought to details. There was plenty of firewood to enjoy a romantic fire under the stars. There was a coffee pot, water and coffee with a propane camping stove so we could have coffee in the morning. It was pleasantly quiet and rustic. A real outback experience while still having all the essentials. There even was a heater in the Tipi to warm up while getting dressed. 1st time staying in a Tipi I really could imagine Indians. I definitely would recommend if you enjoy having unique experiences. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

Weekend Trip to 4D Ranch
If you’re looking to camp on top of a Montana mountain like the tv show Yellowstone, then this hip camp is for you. The tipi sits a little downhill from the cabin, but you still get amazing views from the campsite as a whole. Be warned you will need a high clearance vehicle with 4-wheel or all-wheel drive to get to the site. Overall an incredible experience.

What a wonderful spot to camp at with gorgeous views and privacy. Denise has the place well appointed with thoughtful extras in the tipee. 2 nights , 2 adults and 2 kids in our group. Definitely need a vehicle with high clearance. I drive a Highlander and there were a few minor scrapes to the bottom of the car on the way in/out.

Camped pretty far into the Canyon. Slept outside on the ground by the river and was beautiful. Lots of wilderness to explore and hike, would recommend having a firearm since there are the occasional mountain lions and bears

Potosi Campground was quiet and scenic. Most of the sites have enough space between neighbors. The host was very friendly and dogs are allowed but on leash only. There is a natural hot spring pool within hiking distance, however, we did not have time to explore that.
