1 night at Wineglass Ranch

The ranch is located just outside of Livingston and offers beautiful open vistas of the Paradise Valley. The tan barn spot was big, flat and quiet and the owner offered us electricity, water, and a bathroom. All these were right by where we parked. All in all a great place to stay.

3 nights at Creekside at Liberty Acres Bozeman

This is a great spot if you want to be close to Bozeman. The site is easy to access and has a spectacular view of the sunrise. The port-a-potty is clean with automatic lights for easy middle-of-the-night access. Another reviewer mentioned that it felt like you're "camping on someone's front lawn" but we didn't feel that at all: The house is 600' away and we didn't feel like we were even on their property. A reviewer also suggested the option to filter water from the stream, but given the amount of agriculture land upstream, I wouldn't do that.

1 night at Cloud Nine Equine Ranch

What a great spot!! After staying at the hot springs for two nights it was WONDERFUL to pull into Stacie’s spot! So quiet with room all around you. The views of both the Gallatin and Bridger mountains is to die for! I pulled up next to her rv (just parked there, no one in it), my 20’ 50 amp cord didn’t reach the outlet tho. She had a standard 120 I could have used but I had a 30 amp extension cord with. I rode my bike just a mile to the local steak joint and had an amazing burger AND desert! Pizza place is there also. I’d go back in a flash!

1 night at Ennis RV Park by Starry Night Lodging

Title says it all. I stayed here in the cabin as a solo traveler. There is enough room for 3-4 people comfortably in the cabin. After several weeks of travel it was nice to have a table, chairs, and easy access to the very clean bathroom and shower area which was nice and warm, even when the temperatures started to drop. Having a little shop located on site was very convenient, and I was pleasantly surprised at how developed Ennis, MT is. Try the restaurant next door, the Continental Divide. It was fantastic. This spot was a perfect jumping off point for trips into Yellowstone and Tetons. Thank you for a great stay, I would absolutely come back in the future.

This was a great location for visiting friends in Bozeman. The directions to the site were good and the site was clean, level, completely fenced, and offered electricity and water. We travel with two golden retrievers and after checking with our host, they were allowed to roam freely on the large, fenced property. We are very satisfied RVers and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wild Horse.

Weekend Trip to Osen's RV Park by Starry Night

A great RV park with good amenities, clean, quiet, reasonably priced, and a level site. John, the camp host, couldn't have been nicer. We were visiting Yellowstone National Park and the drive to the park from Livingston was longer than we would have liked - 63 miles. That's our fault for not checking distances. Osens has a fenced dog park which satisfied the "zoomies" of our two golden retrievers.

45mi from Missouri Headwaters State Park · 7 sites · Tents, RVs · Wineglass, MT

Nestled on 60 acres you'll find a private campground in a cottonwood grove just across a log bridge over Miner creek. Across the gravel driveway you'll find a second campground that is tucked back in a secluded cottonwood grove, and further down the driveway, you'll find the 3rd campsite. The campgrounds are 5 minutes to the charming historic downtown of Livingston and the Yellowstone River, 20 minutes to Bozeman, 20 mins to Pine Creek Lodge (great outddor concerts!) and an hour to Yellowstone National Park. Dogs are welcome, as long as they are friendly to other dogs. Our dogs freely roam the property. Creekside Oasis/campsite #1 has a picnic table, fire ring, a hammock, solar lighting, a small portable charcoal grill (bring your own charcoal) and a shared outhouse. Although you can car camp at # 1, please note that the camper spot is just off the gravel driveway, and not across the creek where the tent site, picnic table and fire pit are located. Campsite #2/"Off the Beaten Path" campsite requires a short 1-2 minute walk on a tight, uneven path through the trees from the parking area. It is a small campsite with a fire ring (bring your own wood), 2 camp chairs and solar lighting. Do NOT rent this tent site if you need to be close to your car. This site is not on the creek. Creek access is down another trail to the left off the parking area. Campsite 3/"Not for the Faint of Heart" campsite is a 2-3 minute walk from the parking spot on an uneven, tight trail through the trees. It has a fire ring (bring your own wood), two camp chairs, solar lighting, and a small portable grill (bring your own charcoal). Do NOT rent this tent site unless you are ready to explore and do not need to be close by your car. Make sure you arrive before dark because although the trail is lit by solar lights even with headlamps it can be tricky to find your way through the trees. The trail is tight and uneven and closed-toed shoes are highly recommended. The creek is not right by the tent site like it is in campsite #1. There is a small break in the bushes that gives creek access. For all sites we recommend storing your food in your vehicle overnight. All sites share a portalet that is located in a common parking area by the trail to camp #2.

Madison River tiny house/camp site

15mi from Missouri Headwaters State Park · 6 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Three Forks, MT

Our property is close to town but far enough out that you feel secluded. We have wonderful dark nights with amazing views of stars. There is a fishing access a mile down the road, or you can hike to the river which is approximately 1000 feet to the river. The river isn't a real deep river, a lot of people use it to float on tubes, but it has been known to have some nice fish also. The area always gets afternoon wind gusts that happen daily and don't last long but something you'll want to be aware of. On site we have available for rent 2 tiny houses and 4 Rv hook up spots. Our property also has a yurt, an additional tiny house, a skoolie and a motorhome. If you’re wanting to just get away to a beautiful spot, take a hike along the river, float the river or fish this is your place. It’s beautiful and quiet.

Merry Widow Health Mine

43mi from Missouri Headwaters State Park · 1 site · Basin, MT

Discover the unique experience at the Merry Widow Health Mine, a natural health retreat nestled in the stunning Rockies of Basin, Montana. This extraordinary tunnel into the mountain is renowned for its natural emission of radon gas, which has provided relief to visitors suffering from a variety of ailments, including arthritis, sinusitis, migraines, eczema, asthma, hay fever, psoriasis, allergies, and diabetes. As more visitors share their success stories, the list of conditions alleviated by this remarkable mine continues to grow. Guests can enjoy the pure spring water that flows through the mine, known for its rich mineral content and health-restoring properties. The Montana State Health Department rigorously tests this water, ensuring its safety for drinking. Remarkably, some visitors have even reported improvements in cataracts when using the water as an eye wash. The Merry Widow Health Mine draws inspiration from the radon mines of Bockstein and Bad Gastein in Austria, which have been the subject of extensive research for over three decades by esteemed institutions such as the Gastein Research Institute and the University of Innsbruck. With a consistent temperature of around 60°F year-round, visitors are encouraged to dress warmly. First-time guests are recommended to commit to 32 one-hour sessions over 10 to 11

Camping in Missouri Headwaters State Park, MT guide

Overview

About

Lewis and Clark made camp here in 1805, though we think the amenities are a little better developed at this point. Soak in the beauty of 532 acres made of winding rivers and brambly rock outcroppings. The area used to be a boon for fishers and trappers, and we can't say much has changed. Cast a line and catch some of the bountiful fish at the riverside, or do up your trip in a canoe just like the famous explorers themselves. Heritage exhibits and interpretive displays add to the nostalgic feel here.

Notable campgrounds

River Junction Campground: Nestled at the water's edge, perfect for anglers and boaters alike.
Clark's Lookout Campsite: Offers stunning views and a serene spot to reflect on the park's rich history.
Sacajawea Campground: Ideal for families, with easy access to trails and interpretive displays.

Missouri River Campground

This is our second time tent camping in this campground. Not all sites can accommodate tents so check the site descriptions carefully before booking an online reservation. Small RVs will fit in all sites. Picnic tables, fire pits, shared bear boxes, vault toilets, and potable water. Firewood and ice available for purchase from the camp hosts. Lots of mosquitoes.
