46mi from Warm Springs Wildlife Management Area · 2 sites · Tents, RVs · Helena, MT
This five-acre oasis was once a landscape nursery. So given the close proximity to downtown we are a hidden sanctuary from the outside world, secluded by cottonwood trees and mature foliage. The site now serves as a wedding venue and offers views of Mount Helena to the South and the Sleeping Giant to the North. Learn more about this land: Pitch a tent in our aspen grove or park your camper/RV in the grassland field. You're close to downtown with lots of privacy/scenery. You'll have views of regal Mount Helena to the South and The Sleeping Giant to the North. The South Hill trail complex is a great place to explore as well as the Scratchgravels. The Missouri River is only 20 minutes away as well as Lake Hauser and Canyon Ferry. If new to the area and interested in history, we recommend the Tour Train. We also have several great breweries - our favorites include Ten Mile and Blackfoot Breweries (a perfect stop you can ride to after a trail ride/hike in the South Hills). This site is perfect for those wanting to explore Downtown Helena, it's renowned trail systems, but still sleep under the stars. Pets are allowed. Please make sure you pick up after them. There is water throughout the property that you are welcome to use for cleaning, but it is not potable.

Overview

About

An excellent base for setting off on nearby adventures, camping near Warm Springs Wildlife Management Area will give you access to a unique and valuable piece of environmental reclamation. The Warm Springs Ponds, initially created as a mechanism to curb toxic mining waste from polluting downstream areas, today serve as an effective water purification system and offer an exceptional habitat for a variety of wildlife and fish.

Hiking and biking enthusiasts will find ample trails to explore, frequented by locals for various activities like hiking, biking, and running. Birdwatchers, in particular, will appreciate the abundant avian life, with expert estimates noting that around 218 different species have been observed in the WMA. The number of birds that use the area each year is thought to be as high as 300,000.

Autumn brings waterfowl hunters to the site, and you're likely to encounter fishermen year-round. Each season offers a different assortment of bird species, making any time a perfect time for a visit.

A Warm Springs camping expedition highlights the harmony of human efforts and nature working hand-in-hand. The original purpose of the Warm Springs Ponds has been repurposed into an area that not only contributes positively to the environment but also serves as a beautiful recreational site for outdoor enthusiasts.
