3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several rustic cabin camping options are available within a short drive of Belgrade, Montana. Battle Ridge Cabin offers a fully accessible forest service cabin with two wood stoves and bunk beds that can accommodate small groups. According to a recent visitor, "It got VERY toasty in there with the fire going... there was plenty of wood, the fire pit was perfect, and the area beautiful." Bozeman Hot Springs Campground provides cabin rentals with efficient heating systems and access to their hot springs facility. The Three Forks KOA Journey, located about 20 minutes from Belgrade, features cabin accommodations with electricity and basic furnishings. Most cabins in the area include picnic tables and outdoor fire rings, while indoor amenities vary from basic to more comfortable setups with tables, chairs, and counter space for meal preparation.
Cabin sizes range from intimate one-room structures to multi-room layouts that can accommodate families or small groups. Forest service cabins like Little Bear Cabin and Battle Ridge Cabin typically feature more rustic accommodations with wood stoves for heat but may lack running water or electricity. One visitor noted, "The cabin is cozy and rustic. The bathroom is clean but I recommend bringing some TP just in case. There are some cleaning supplies and dishes and cups." Pet policies vary significantly between properties, with some forest service cabins prohibiting pets entirely while others like VangoBoon are pet-friendly. Reservations are essential for most cabin rentals, particularly during summer months when availability becomes limited. Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park offers handicap-accessible cabins that can be reserved year-round.
Most cabins provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own bedding, sleeping bags, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from cabins with no cooking amenities to those with small counter areas for food preparation. As one camper advised about Maxey Cabin, "Guests need to bring their own water supply and all cooking supplies including stove, pots and pans and utensils." Visitors staying in more remote forest cabins should plan to bring drinking water, lighting sources like lanterns, and all food supplies. Cabins at campgrounds like Bozeman Hot Springs typically offer better access to shared facilities including showers, toilets, and sometimes camp stores. For cabins without electricity, portable power banks for charging devices and extra batteries for flashlights are recommended.

RangerWhat a beautiful campground! Site 13 was a roadside site rather than a back in, which made arrival easy. We really enjoyed the loop trail across the river, it was a great way to stretch our legs in spite of the heavy rain earlier that day. This place felt like a hidden gem.
TravelerWe camped one night in a tent in site #12. Luckily it was a cool evening because the scent of the vault toilet wafted over our site off and on. Can't imagine being here on a hot humid day in the summer. I'm sure this campground is fine for overnight if you are self contained in an RV. Good if you don't want to be too far off the Interstate but also don't want the traffic noise.
GuideWe are here in October and we are getting snow I love it. Only 3 other campers here. .the dogs just run. Getting about 6 inches of snow. Going to hike some trails tomorrow. We have AT&T and there is cell service but we also have Starlink. No water this time of year and there is only 1 pit toilet...across the campground. It would not be a place I would stay in summer....no trees I'm not a fan of seeing all the campers. Looks like pretty decent gravel sites. We do have electric. The rangers are very nice.
GuideIt’s the perfect spot near the water stream and a beautiful view
TravelerNice spot! Convenient to Bozeman - 10 minutes away. Hookups, shower, pool, playground in a compact but reasonable layout. More sports for tents or self contained rigs (vans or pickup campers) then many places.
Closed in fall and winter - in2026 open until the end of September.
ScoutThe camp has changed names to Clark’s Den. It is a small site on the edge of town. It is well maintained meeting all our needs. Laundry room and bathrooms are very clean. They even provide a complimentary towel and bath mat. Owner was very nice and accommodating. Surprisingly quite. I would recommend if you are touring the area. It would be a good home base.
LegendWhat’s not to like? A beautiful RV Park and admission to the hot springs next door is included for day of arrival and all the next day (out day of departure). They have live music tomorrow evening at the hot springs which sadly we’ll miss. Plus Bozeman is just a short drive away. We loved spending the day browsing and dining in downtown Bozeman.
ScoutWe booked 5 hours before we arrived and were told that hotsprings were open until sun set; 7:56 pm, however just after 6 pm staff started to boot people out anf they were closed before 7pm. When it was brought up to Anthony who claimed to be the manager on 5 Sept he could care less, partly due to the fact he was late opening and "no one was going to hold him accountable"! He further stated that he did not care that military members booked because after driving all day we needed to soak. Stating it was his "call" and none of us would get any funds returnd.
TravelerI thoroughly enjoyed this stay. The spot was level and well maintained, laundry facilities clean, check in personnel very nice and helpful. The best part was the Hot Springs next door. I went both nights and the second night there was live music which was wonderful. They provide towels, showers and have shampoo and conditioner available at the springs. And the outside lighting was very relaxing. I will definitely be back.
Cabin camping near Belgrade, Montana offers accommodations within the Custer Gallatin National Forest and surrounding areas. The region sits at elevations ranging from 4,500 to 7,000 feet with temperature variations from 30°F nights to 80°F days during summer months. Most forest service cabins require advance reservations through the recreation.gov system, with booking windows opening six months prior to arrival dates.
Soak in natural hot springs: At Bozeman Hot Springs Campground, cabin guests receive wristbands for the adjacent facilities. "We went in the evening and the hot springs vibe at night is so cool. Propane flames and soft music are all around. It's amazing," notes Jennifer H. The complex offers pools ranging from 56-106°F.
Tour limestone caverns: Located within driving distance of Belgrade, Lewis & Clark Caverns provides both camping and educational opportunities. "Amazing family campsite with amenities, gift shop and stores. For small children it's quite a hike for them, they do get fatigued on the way, there are pit stops along the hill with shade for rest," shares Carla S.
Explore historic sites: Visit Missouri Headwaters State Park where three rivers converge to form the Missouri River. "You're right at the spot where the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers come together to form the Missouri River. The area is scenic, peaceful, and full of history with several short walking trails along the water and through the park," explains Sayler O.
Wood stoves for heating: Many forest service cabins provide wood-burning stoves that efficiently heat the space. At Battle Ridge Cabin, "There are two wood stoves, one in the sleeping area with two bunks. It got VERY toasty in there with the fire going," reports Kristin.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Areas around cabin sites often provide chances to observe local wildlife. "Deer visited camp at night!" notes Mark F. about his stay at Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park, while other reviewers mention seeing various birds and small mammals near their cabins.
Accessibility of many sites: While some cabins require hiking access, others are directly accessible by vehicle. "It was very accessible, with an easy road. You can drive right up to the cabin," says a reviewer about Battle Ridge Cabin. Some properties offer wheelchair-accessible options with paved pathways.
Train noise affects some locations: Cabins near railroad tracks may experience noise disruption. At Bear Canyon Campground, "I am writing this in the middle of the night because I am awake due to another train," reports Craig B. Consider noise-canceling options if staying at affected sites.
Water sources vary significantly: Most forest service cabins lack running water. "There is a clear small spring creek you can use for water but you MUST treat it or use Sawyer or LifeStraw. Ice cold and delicious," advises April K. about Battle Ridge Cabin.
Seasonal challenges: Weather conditions impact cabin accessibility and comfort. "Note that the gate on the road does not open until June 16. If you rent this before June 16 you have to ski, snowmobile or hike 10 miles, regardless of snow pack," warns Sarah N. about Little Bear Cabin.
Playground access: Some cabin campgrounds include facilities for children. At Three Forks KOA Journey, visitors note "Very family friendly. Park for children. Great walking paths." The campground maintains designated play areas within sight of many cabin units.
Educational opportunities: Several locations offer learning experiences for younger campers. "Did you know you can print out a packet for your little ones to become Cub Rangers at this State Park?" asks Sierra V. about activities at Lewis & Clark Caverns.
Insect management: Prepare for seasonal insects, particularly in early summer. "The flies are maddening tho! Bring spray or fly paper. They have swatters!" recommends April K. regarding Battle Ridge Cabin. Mosquito activity increases near water sources, especially at dusk.
Winter access considerations: Limited cabin options remain available during colder months. At VangoBoon, "Ended up here on a winter site that had electric but no water or bathroom facilities (I knew this). Site was plowed and I had plenty of room for my pickup with GFC camper to fit," reports Ted A.
Laundry facilities: When transitioning between camping styles, some properties offer laundry services. "They let us check in early and the laundromat on site was a plus," notes Marc M. about Bozeman Hot Springs Campground, which helps manage extended cabin stays without access to washing facilities.
Utility limitations: Most cabin accommodations have restricted utilities. "If you're looking for a quiet place after 10 though, this is a great spot," says Joshua T. about Three Forks KOA Journey, noting enforced quiet hours that affect generator use.
