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.

Get away from it all when you stay under the stars!
Located on a working cattle ranch in the secluded Flint Creek Valley, our hand built ranch offers 360 degree breathtaking mountain views and lush fields of free range grazing livestock.
Come experience a true Montana “glamping” experience, away from all the hustle and bustle where you can unwind and take in the sunrises and sunsets in beautiful Big Sky Country. We have our brand-new yurt available as well as a 30amp plug-in. Your stay can be a simple stay, or for extra fees can include farm-2-table meals (with reserve wine pairings if desired), guided fly/ice fishing experiences, short backpacking trips and backcountry skiing!
Conveniently located 45 mins outside Missoula, 25 mins from Philipsburg and 50 mins from Discovery Ski Mtn.
Some things to note: this is a working ranch, meaning there are cows and family members tending to the animals (not in the yurt’s private area, but surrounding it); in the winter, the concrete pad the yurt stands on can be slippery, so please be aware and utilize the provided ice melt in the bucket by the side door when needed. In spring, the ranch can quite muddy; please keep vehicles on the rock driveway only. Boot trays are provided by both doors.
Extra cleaning fees apply if pets are staying in the yurt.

Montana Farm Stay Glamping Tents
10. Montana Farm Stay Glamping Tents
44mi from Anaconda Smoke Stack State Park · 4 sites
Stay in a glamping tent set in our pasture on a WORKING (formerly Amish) farm in rural southwest Montana—complete with a private bathroom and cow trough shower. This is a true farm experience—rustic, grounded, and one-of-a-kind. Expect open land, animals nearby, and the natural rhythms of farm life (including guardian dogs at night). Located 17 minutes south of I-90 near hot springs and hiking.
One of four glamping tents set in our pasture on a working Montana farm. This listing is for a single tent, with a short walk to the bathhouse where you’ll have your own private bathroom, complete with a horse trough shower assigned to your tent.
A wood-fired sauna is available on the property and shared among guests.
You’ll be staying on a real, active farm—expect open land, animals nearby, and an authentic rural environment rather than a manicured resort. Free-range poultry roam the property, and nature comes as it is.
The experience here is simple and grounded: big skies, star-filled nights, and space to slow down. Watch for deer, bald eagles, and even the occasional moose passing through. We’re surrounded by National Forest and Montana’s wild rivers, with Renova Hot Springs just 6 miles away.
The tent and bathhouse are off-grid (solar), so power is intentionally limited. A small charging station is available in the tent, and high-speed internet (avg. 100 Mbps) is available if you need to stay connected.
This is an active working farm, so you may hear animals, equipment, or farm activity at various times of day, including early mornings or evenings. We do our best to respect your stay, but some noise and light are part of farm life.
The Tent + bathhouse are off-grid (solar), so power is limited. Please be mindful of usage and avoid running multiple high-energy appliances at once in the bathhouse.
Shoes-off policy inside the tent—thank you.
! Service Animals !
We respect and support the important role of service animals. However, for their safety, our property is not a suitable environment.
We have working livestock guardian dogs whose job is to protect farm animals and deter unfamiliar animals. While they are friendly toward people, they may view other animals as a threat.
For the safety of your animal, we strongly recommend choosing a different place.

The Monarch Cabin sits at an elevation of approximately 8,600 feet on the west side of Elkhorn Peak. It is surrounded by more than 300,000 acres of public land with 80,000 acres of that being designated as a roadless area. The nearest human inhabitance is in the Historic Town of Elkhorn situated a bit more than 3 miles to the south and a drop of about 2,000 feet of elevation.
During the Summer, enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and trail running on maintained and unmaintained trails. Climb peaks with incredible views and fish in mountain lakes. Spring time provides opportunity to experience the splendor of the wild flower season. There are so many flowers that the whole area is alive with the aroma and multitude of colors. If you are lucky, you may see new born wildlife such as deer, elk, mountain goats, fox, moose and many others.
Winter time lends to incredible back country skiing, split boarding, and snowshoeing. The sunsets are typically spectacular while enjoying the views and solitude. Book for a time of full moon and with a clear sky a moonlight ski or walk is amazing.
From the West there is the Muskrat/Tizer Lakes trail which is a maintained, designated hiking/biking trail. To the south is an unmaintained, extremely rough forest service road leading to the cabin. To the east there is a trail to the top of Elkhorn Peak and to Crow Peak, the two highest peaks in the Elkhorn mountains. To the north there are trails leading to most anywhere in the Elkhorn Mountains. Tizer lakes are only about 3 miles away on an easy maintained trail. From there there are too many destinations to name. Hiking and biking is limited only by one's own ambition and skills. The Elkhorn endurance run is a well known event that has it's longer race route run right through the property.
At the end of a hard day of adventure, relax in the wood fired sauna and enjoy the amazing sunsets. If you are lucky, you might even hear elk bugling in the valley below (September/October).
Most people access the cabin by hiking, biking, snowshoes or ski's. If one choose to drive, a 4 WD truck would be a must and would still be difficult. Areas above the cabin are for non-motorized use only.

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 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!)

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!

Boulder Creek Lodge was well-run, clean, and really relaxing and peaceful. Our kids loved the tipis, and it was cool to have the creek, a playground, some yard games, and a big safe space for them to run around. It was also great to have a real shower available and a lodge area with some indoor games and a fridge and coffee machine when we wanted it.
Doug was really friendly and had some good local recommendations for our family - nearby Philipsburg is great for some activity during the day, and the whole area is beautiful with some really nice trails.

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.

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.

1 night at Boulder Creek Lodge
We rolled the dice on this Hipcamp gem and hit the jackpot! Originally planned for one night, but after experiencing night one, extending was a no-brainer. Doug, the host, is seriously the best – super friendly and genuinely helpful. The whole place is incredibly well-maintained; even the bathrooms feel like they belong in a fancy hotel. Our "converted chapel" stay was a highlight, with a stunning stained glass window painting the room with light. You've also got a top-notch community kitchen (restaurant-grade stove, anyone?), a rad games room, and the river literally bubbling right outside, loud enough to be your personal soundtrack. Don't sleep on this one!
