Hilltop Camp sits on open terrain near a lake outside Helena, about nine miles from the city. Electric hookups, picnic tables, and trash service cover the basics, and cell service is available on-site. The access road runs rough, so low-clearance vehicles should plan accordingly. Reservations are available, and pets are welcome. Campers exploring places to camp near Helena will find Spokane Bay Campground among the nearby alternatives. Book ahead during summer months.
Description
Perched above Hauser Lake with wide-open big-sky views, Hilltop Camp is where you come to actually see the stars again. No crowds, just a small family farm, and sky that goes on forever after sundown.
We're a small family farm outside Helena, and staying here means you're part of the rhythm for a night or two. Fresh eggs from our hens are usually available for purchase (ask when you book), and you'll likely hear our rooster and guinea fowl greeting the morning. They are early risers, all of them, and part of the charm if you're the kind of camper who loves waking up somewhere alive.
A few honest notes up front: the property has a rollng hill. Most sites have some natural slope, so bring leveling blocks if you're in a rig, and expect a bit of that "real land, not a paved pad" character. We are working to level sites as we can. What you get in return is a private, unhurried spot with sunset and sunrise views most campgrounds can't touch, and some of the best stargazing in the Helena Valley.
We live on the property year-round, so you're never staying somewhere unattended. Please text or call anytime and we typically respond within the hour. Good cell signal throughout, clear directions to each site, and we're always around if you need anything.
Four sites to choose from, each with its own personality. We have one site with electricity, and three dry camping site. Hauser Lake is a short drive away for fishing and boating, and Helena's shops and restaurants are close enough for a supply run without losing that "middle of nowhere" feeling.
