Stories from the community

1 night at Mile High Mountain Homestead

The hosts super nice and the campsite was beautiful!

Weekend Trip to Creekside getaway

This location wasn’t far off the beaten path and just minutes from a great hike up to Sweathouse Creek Falls. There isn’t a ton of privacy at this site as there are several tiny homes and glamping sites above it but the view looking into the valley is great and the bathroom nearby very handy.

1 night at Highway Retreat

The campsite was beautiful and the bathrooms were incredibly clean! A bit difficult to find but otherwise amazing

1 night at Primrose Meadows

Easy and simple! Short overnight camping for last minute trip worked well for us!

Weekend Trip to Primrose Meadows

The views surrounding the campsite are beautiful. Very close to Missoula. There isn’t any tree cover so if you are camping in the summer, I would bring something to shelter under the heat during the day. Bathrooms are clean. Host is friendly and helpful.

Peaceful site with a beautiful view! Hosts were very helpful and the wildlife was abundant.

Weekend Trip to Primrose Meadows

Beautiful vistas — amazing sunrises and sunsets. Clean bathroom and friendly host. Loved the fresh chorizo. We knew about the trains—they are an important part of Missoula’s history. Primrose offers easy access to both urban and rural areas.

Weekend Trip to Mission Falls Ranch

This is a splendid creekside paradise, an incredibly special place. The location is unbeatable. The flowing creek, the cabin, animals, birds, tranquility, and welcoming hospitality of the hosts is incredible. The cabin is so clean, bed is comfortable, fire pit and chairs and all the thoughtful touches made it feel heavenly. The camper trailer shower is amazing and they have the cleanest portable toilet I’ve ever been in, and my goodness the animals were so friendly and adorable! This is the spot for the best camping/glamping experience. You will love staying here. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Primrose Meadows

Incredible views, well maintained, quite inviting. Coming back for sure.

2 nights at Edge Of Missoula, Rattlesnake Creek

Easy to find, quiet neighborhood, but still close enough to get back to the interstate quickly. River access was amazing! Also a beautiful neighborhood to walk around. Nancy is a really kind and thoughtful host. Would certainly stay again.

Weekend Trip to Creekside getaway

Hosts were very friendly, communicative, and helpful throughout the entire stay. We enjoyed access to clean toilets and a hand washing sink that are an upgrade from a traditional porta-potties. Having access to potable water, trash bins, and the ability to use the fire pit & swinging grill with host-provided wood and kindling was so helpful and convenient. Luckily, we were solo campers because our party arrived at different times, which the host graciously accommodated. The views are incredible in all directions! Those star-filled Montana skies are nothing short of breathtaking! The small creek running behind the Glamping Tent provided a calming ambiance with a backdrop of pleasant sounds of nature heard in the distance, including owls, birds, coyotes(?), etc. It felt like we could relax and just enjoy our time together. Bed cots were comfortable, and far better than ground camping if you ask us. We camped in late May and nights are chilly. Would recommend packing in very warm blankets/sleeping bags depending on when others travel.

1 night at Boulder Creek Lodge

Family and I had a perfect stay. The whole site is a really cool set up with everything one would need. Doug at the main lodge was especially awesome and super nice to the whole family. I had never heard of this place before but we will definitely be making a trip back and will tell our friends and family to do the same!

Weekend Trip to Mile High Mountain Homestead

Lovely place! Dave and Becky are fantastic and we’re so good with our kiddos :) thank you for everything!

1 night at Primrose Meadows

I was the only one there that night. The train sounds were lovely as was the sunset. I thought it was a bit spendy for the simple amenities but the quiet and closeness to Missoula were worth it. Erin responded quickly to any questions. I didn’t add any farm treats to my stay but I will next time.

Weekend Trip to God's Country Camping

Beautiful spot with room for multiple sites but each site has privacy. Quiet but close to town. Easy walk to the river with a nice trail along the banks. We had plenty of room at our site with a 22' and a 30' camper and a 4Runner. Make sure you're good at backing a trailer, though. The 30' camper would not have made it around the circular drive.

Weekend Trip to Missoula Rest And Relaxation

Great spot close to town! Easy to find and had no issues.

Weekend Trip to Hawk And Fox Ranch

Larry is very accommodating and helpful. He gave us a list of cool places to check out and his land is amazing. Very dog friendly and his daughter even brought us some homemade huckleberry treats. Cannot wait to come back.

Weekend Trip to Missoula Rest And Relaxation

We came to town for a baseball tournament and found this perfect spot — tucked right in town, yet it feels peaceful, rural, and quiet. Each morning, we saw three deer in velvet, and our dogs were fascinated by the neighbors cows, The host, Robin was very accommodating and friendly. We highly recommend this place.!

Weekend Trip to Primrose Meadows

Huge site, beautiful views. Nice clean bathroom. Would definitely stay there again. The trains are a bit loud, but it’s very much worth it.

Weekend Trip to Primrose Meadows

This place was perfect for our quick stay while passing through Missoula. The views are lovely and the sites are well spread out giving us plenty of space to relax, which is always something I worry about when trying to book a campsite with our reactive pup. The bathroom was very clean. Erin was very sweet and delivered our wood to our site for us. This land is close proximity to a little community with homes close by, but that did not bother us at all. You still get the beautiful Mountain views, birds singing, and space to unwind. The train did come through a couple times in the night, but you are made aware of that before you book. Overall it was perfect for what we needed.

Bitterroot Panorama

1 site · RV20 acres · Stevensville, MT

**Have friends or family that want to tag along? I have added an extra to allow for extra campers at the same site. See the extras section for details.** Resting in the foothills of the sapphire mountains, just outside the town of Stevensville Montana, this beautiful 20 acre property is conveniently located halfway between Hamilton and Missoula; it is also a good midway point between Yellowstone and Glacier national parks. The outdoor activities are endless. Biking, hiking, fishing, swimming, hunting, trail riding, snow skiing and more are all within reach. Deer, turkey, osprey, killdeer, nighthawks, and eagles frequent the property as well as the occasional elk herd; and the Lee Metcalf wildlife refuge is about 15 minutes away. The property sits about 400’ above the valley floor; giving spectacular panoramic views of the bitterroot valley and mountains, as well as incredible sunsets. The paved road ends about 1 mile before the property, the remaining mile is a gravel road. There is also a one lane bridge right before you get to the property. Firewood is available for use at no charge. Sewer hookup has not been run to the site yet but if you have a portable tank, or want to pull the camper over to the house, it can be dumped as needed beside the garage; just ask and I can show you where the pipe is. There is a nema 14-50 hookup providing 50 amp power at the site; if needed I do have a 50 to 30 amp adapter you can borrow during your stay. Water hookup is also available at the site, but may be limited in freezing weather. If temperatures are to cold we can turn on the water to fill your tank as needed and then blow the line back out. If you need to borrow a potable water hose let me know as i keep those in the garage unless needed. There is a non-potable water hose that is available at the site, with a spray nozzle, incase you need to rinse or wash off gear, vehicles, etc. SpaceX Starlink high speed internet is available via WiFi. You can also charge your electric vehicle, if needed, with the power at the campsite or I have another nema 14-50 plug available at the garage of the main house. Be sure to let me know if you will need the plug at the garage so I can make sure it is accessible. If you have other questions feel free to contact me and I will do my best to answer them. ****The first 10 photos were posted by me and are taken from the actual hipcamp spot.

Wildlight Yurt

1 site · Lodging24 acres · Alberton, MT

Our land is 24 acres set against Cinderella Mountain, facing the Clark Fork River. There are two houses and a yurt on the property. The yurt is available for rent on this site to stay the night in, 8 guests maximum. **For gatherings and up to 20-person events, please visit our website, wildlightmontana.com. Address: The maps program on HipCamp is outdated and our address, which was created during the Covid lockdown, does not show up here. If you use Google Maps you can search "Wildlight Montana" to find us or please direct message me for the address. The yurt is a beautiful open space utilized weekly for local yoga classes and private events. The space is therefore not set up with bedding; guests should bring their own camping pads, cots, sleeping bags, etc. A pro to staying here is that the space comes stocked with yoga props for stretching in the evening while you arrive, sitting and gathering, or maybe doing a private yoga class before you leave in the morning. Feel free to message us and book a private sound therapy, Reiki or yoga session while you are at the property! There is nice view of the valley surrounding, and a trail leading up into the woods behind the yurt to walk on. Wild turkeys, deer, elk and eagles right outside your door. There is a woodstove inside for cooler nights that we can instruct folks who feel comfortable to use, and a small firepit out front. Facilities: Outside, in front of the yurt, there is a back-to-back outhouse and hand washing station available for guests, stocked with toilet paper, paper towels and hand soap. An insulated out-building sits just to the west of the yurt entrance, right where the dirt driveway turns toward the yurt itself when you drive up. The out-building is equipped as a kitchenette, and includes a refrigerator, electric kettle and coffee maker. Please note: there is no running water inside this building, however we will have a 5 gallon jug of well water set up in a water dispenser for you to access there. We ask guests to clean up after themselves in these spaces. The handwashing area is set up for rinsing off dishes while you're here as well. We will make sure to provide a dish tub, cleaning supplies, enough dishes, utensils and mugs for up to 8 people (or compostable picnicware if necessary at the time of rental). Note about the train: There are train tracks that run along the river in front of our property. The tracks are dropped down low enough that you can just see the top of the train, with trees also blocking the sound. The train will only sound its horn here if there are animals on the tracks, a fairly rare occurrence after four years living here. All in all, it isn't bothersome feature to most who stay, and we've had positive feedback from renters. It still feels fair to note.

Willow Pond at Bar Diamond Ranch

1 site · RV, Tent1000 acres · Ovando, MT

Our ranch is cozied up along the Blackfoot River and 9 miles away from Brown's lake, both of which are excellent sources of recreation. We are located off the highway on the back county road. This pristine camp spot is on our 5th generation cattle ranch and depending on the grazing schedule you may be serenaded by the sound of soothing "moo's" from our cow and calf pairs as you fall to sleep. Along with our cows, there are chickens and horses nearby, as well as multitudes of wildlife. Three couples of Trumpeter Swans call our pond home, as well as ducks, geese, loons, sandhill cranes, and a whole cascade of other bird varieties. Deer, grizzlies, black bear, badgers, elk, foxes, and rabbits also call our ranch home and can usually be spotted nearby. The camp site itself is along our pond. This pond unfortunately does not have any fish, but it is very relaxing to paddle a kayak or canoe in and out of the willow branches that surround it. You will have a quiet, serene and private location, hidden by the canopy of willows that grow along the pond. The views are spectacular and the nearby activities make this a great spot for any outdoor enthusiast!

Camping near Missoula guide

Overview

There’s a reason that Missoula is a regular on “best places to live” lists. It offers the best of all worlds — the arts, craft breweries, rich history, and of course, outdoor adventure. Surrounded by mountains, forests, and rivers, Missoula is close to some of Montana’s best campsites.

Close to downtown Missoula, several private RV parks offer year-round camping. Comfort is king at these parks; enjoy Wi-Fi, full hookups, and cozy cabin rentals.

Prefer the wilderness? Head into the Lolo National Forest, where 28 Forest Service campgrounds offer RV and tent camping. At Lolo Creek Campground, spend the day birdwatching and finish with a dip in the nearby Hot Springs. Bring your fishing gear to Bitterroot Flat Campground, which features a Blue Ribbon trout stream.

If you’re heading to Glacier National Park on Highway 93, be sure to stop at Flathead Lake. Waterfront sites at Flathead Lake State Park are perfect for kid-friendly swimming, boating, and hiking.

Tucked away in northwestern Montana, Missoula is a four-season destination. Summer days are warm and sunny, and autumn brings stunning fall foliage. In the winter, locals love cross-country skiing and high-speed snowmobiling. Warm layers are a must year-round, especially if you’re heading for high-elevation campsites.
