Best Cabin Camping near Divide, MT

Several rustic cabin options are available within a short drive of Divide, Montana, providing year-round shelter for outdoor enthusiasts. Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park offers three handicap-accessible cabins with electric hookups and central access to clean bathrooms and showers. Sportsman Lodge in nearby Melrose features well-maintained log cabins with full amenities, situated near prime fishing locations. "The cabins at the campground were clean and well taken care of," notes one visitor to Lewis & Clark Caverns. Hells Canyon Guard Station provides a more remote cabin experience with basic amenities including a wood stove and propane cooktop, though it requires navigating challenging roads.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available in the region, with varying levels of comfort and accessibility. The Butte KOA operates seasonally from April 15 to October 31, offering standard cabin accommodations with access to showers, toilets, and a small market. Fairmont RV Resort includes cabin rentals with proximity to hot springs and recreational facilities. Pet policies vary significantly between locations, with Sportsman Lodge allowing dogs while Hells Canyon Guard Station and several forest service cabins prohibit pets entirely. According to a reviewer, "The cabin appears to be frequented by regulars. It sleeps 6, has a wood stove and a propane grill/cooktop, and a fair few canned supplies, games, puzzles, etc." Advance reservations are strongly recommended for all cabin facilities, particularly during summer months.

Most cabin rentals provide basic furniture and heating but require guests to bring their own bedding, towels, and food supplies. Cooking facilities range from simple wood stoves in forest cabins to electric microwaves in more developed locations. High Rye Cabin and Canyon Creek Cabin offer more primitive accommodations without electric hookups or running water. The nearest full-service grocery stores are located in Butte, approximately 30 minutes from Divide, though some campgrounds like Butte KOA maintain small on-site stores with essential items. Visitors planning extended stays should arrive prepared with food, drinking water, and appropriate seasonal clothing, as mountain weather can change rapidly even in summer months.

    Vigilante Campground — Bannack State Park

    Great Historical State Park with two campgrounds

    If you like history, ghost towns and camping then Bannack State Park is for you. Bannack Montana was the 1st Territorial Capital of Montana. The Ghost town allows you a look at how settlers and miners leaved in the early day of Montana. See the 1st Territorial Governors Manson (ok, small cabin). Almost all of building you can enter. The best times to visit is when reenactments are happening at the park. The state park has two small campgrounds, Vigilante Campground with 15 sites and one Tipi site. One of the sites at the Vigilante site is only for bikers. Vigilante campsites can be reserved. The other campground is Road Agent Campground. Road Agent has 8 sites. Both sites have Vault Toilets, water and trash bins.

    Sportsman Lodge, Cabins & RV Park

    Great spot, very friendly

    This is a great spot in a tiny town south of Butte Montana. They have a couple cabins, several motel rooms and about 10 full hookup, all grass, RV spots. Also a large area for car/tent camping. The grounds are meticulously maintained by the owner and it has nice views of the bluffs and mountains all around it. Walking distance to the restaurant and bar in town if that’s your thing. Quality hookups at each site, and each site has its own trash can. Clean bathrooms and laundry on site. Owners are very present and attentive on site and super friendly. Picnic tables at every site. One shared fire pit out front of the office. It’s in a very small town, with several fishing spots nearby. Very peaceful location. We would stay again.

    A few things to be aware of:

    • All sites are back in, but they are reasonably wide and very long.
    • It is about a mile or two from the interstate which is convenient but you can occasionally hear a large truck pass by.
    • There is a train track nearby, we heard about one train per day in the morning.
    • We were here in July and there were some mosquitos. If you plan to be outside probably bring a citronella candle or bug spray.

    Kading Cabin

    Have a quiet unplugged night at Kading Campground

    If you are looking for a quiet campground away from electronic distractions then this campground is for you. Kading Campground is located along the upper Little Blackfoot river at the end of Little Blackfoot road. Being at the end of the road and located along the river you will have a nice quiet night as the only vehicle traffic with be those vehicles travel to the campground of near by trail head. Kading Campground has 11 sites, each site has a picnic table and metal fire rings. The campground has two vault toilets. Water is available at Kading Cabin located across the road from the campground entrance. A small public corral is located across the road from the campground, and there are two horse watering troughs in the campground. A trail head at the end of the road can be reached from a short trail at the end of the campground. The trail follows the Little Blackfoot river. A five mile hike leads to Blackfoot meadows a popular fly fishing location. The campground has been recently cleared of its beetle killed trees making the campground much more open than it used to been, but this is still a nice quiet campground to visit.

    Butte KOA

    Easy on/off the interstate

    This was our first stop after leaving Yellowstone.  Drove up to Butte because my husband wanted to go to a local exhibition that was happening that weekend and see Our Lady of the Rockies.  I didn't really walk around the campground, but it seemed like a smaller KOA.  It is easy to find right off the interstate.  I thought perhaps the highway noise would be an issue, but it was not.  As we were a week into our 2 week trip, I used our down time here to do some laundry.  The laundry room was in back of the store/main office where you register when you arrive.  I believe it was open 24 hours.  To my delight, you could also order pizza in the store.  I think they could have brought it to our site, but I couldn't remember the site number when I ordered so I just went back in about 30 min to get my order.  It was very simple, you only had two options--pepperoni or cheese, but the pizza was hot and tasted decent.  Not at all what I expected.  We did partake of the pool, which my toddler thought was fantastic and there was a small older playground next to the pool.  This KOA is right next to the Butte Visitor's Information Bureau and some nice looking walking trails.  We were in a site with full hook-ups, gravel pad with concrete patio, grill, firepit, picnic table and two rocking chairs.  I would have loved to spend some time in the rocking chairs had we not had some wonderful thunderstorms.  Had great cell service with Verizon as this campground is pretty much smack dab in the middle of Butte.

    Fairmont RV Resort

    Nice vista's so no trees...

    Nice level gravel site. Sites are close to each other. There were no picnic tables and wood fires are not allowed so no fire rings. My guess for the no fires rule is because you would be smoking out your neighbor which I can appreciate because we have had to close our windows because of other folks smoke. Frost free spigots were good especially since the weather at night was below freezing. The proximity to Fairmont hot springs is great and we took advantage of the pools.

    Flint Creek Campground

    Clean and quiet at night

    Nice little campground outside of Philipsburg next to the highway and a creek. There are only 10 sites on the lollipop loop, 6 along the “stick”, all on the creek side, and 4 on the loop. There are a couple extra vehicle parking areas too. Creek side sites are better, but sites 7 and 8 seem to be the largest. I was pleasantly surprised there was a host for only 10 free first come sites. All the basics are here- picnic tables and fire pits and one clean vault toilet. I did not see any hook ups of any kind for RVs. Pretty quiet at night but traffic starts around 6:30 in the morning, so you will have some daytime noise. I saw a deer walking through the campground in the late evening as well. 

    The only downside was my very noisy neighbors, but that is more about the people and less about the campground.

    Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park — Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park

    Family-friendly campground

    The layout of this state park was somewhat unusual: there are five loops within one larger loop with 32 sites plus seven additional pull-through sites on the outside of the loop. There are also three handicap accessible cabins and one tipi. All are reservable. This campground appeared to be very family-friendly, with many kids riding bikes and playing on the playground (first campground I’ve seen in a while that had kids playing on it). There are some trees, but they don’t necessarily provide shade (certainly not for B4!) Flush toilets plus (fee) showers; it was nice that there was HOT water! The path leading from Loop B (where we were) to the bathroom went between one of the cabins and their driveway, making it feel like we were walking through their yard – a little bit awkward. There is one 6.5-mile trail from the campground but the real attraction is the cave tour (and no, Lewis and Clark never saw the caves)! The Classic tour is $12 and lasts approximately two hours and is very interesting. You cannot make advance reservations for the tour, but we had no problem walking up and buying tickets at 5:30 pm on a Friday. It is a 3/4 mile UPHILL walk to the cave entrance and a half-mile walk back to the visitor center when done with the tour. There was also a covered picnic pavilion and a day-use area, but it appeared to be closed when we were there.

    Mccart Lookout

    A bit of paradise

    Well worth the drive and the short hike up the mountain. Beautiful views from all around the tower. Very peaceful and relaxing. The tower sleeps 2 with a bed platform. Items provided are a coleman latern, a 2 burner propane stove, a wood stove for heat, a bow saw, and an axe.

    There is an outhouse on site along with a firepit.

    Fairmont RV Resort

    Clean park well laid out

    If you like waterslides or golfing this will be hard to beat. Nice and clean areas with a great little store. I want to judge a park by the cost of ice “2.00” seems fair. $29.00 to tent camp. Power, picnic table, 4g phone service with Verizon, they offer wi-fi, bbq in every site. Each site has a raised level gravel spot for setting up camp with grass all around. I appreciate that they planted trees that block out the hot sun during the entire day (Sept 1st). Showers and bathroom are 100ft away. The shower and toilets are immaculate and secure with secure code door locks. At check-in, I was offered a day pass to the golf course and water park at no cost for the day. It was A nice bonus and justified the extra cost for the tent site. The water park has a nice restaurant and bar inside as well as a poolside bar with mixed drinks. I had dinner at Donivan's about 10 miles away in Anaconda. Great place to eat very nice. Had a great steak potato and beer for $27 it was delicious. This is my second trip out here this summer from Washington state to Fairmont. I genuinely enjoy spending time here. I'm just a big kid traveling by myself, but it's really an excellent place for the little ones and a place for mom and dad to get some time together. I see a lot of retired people here living it up golfing and swimming. Being right off, I90 makes it a huge bonus. I can see the cars on the highway just barely and no noise. Must be 3ish miles from 90. Happy ⛺!


Guide to Divide

Cabin camping near Divide, Montana offers year-round options at elevations between 5,500-7,000 feet in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. This region experiences significant temperature fluctuations with summer highs around 80°F and winter lows frequently below freezing. Road access to more remote cabins can become challenging in winter months, particularly on Forest Service roads leading to backcountry accommodations.

What to do

Fishing access sites: Sportsman Lodge in Melrose provides convenient accommodations for anglers with direct river access. "Easy walk to the river for fly fishing access. That seems to be the main activity in this very small town of Melrose," notes Mari H. The lodge serves as a popular base for seasonal fishing enthusiasts.

Hot springs relaxation: Stay near the Fairmont Hot Springs Resort for natural thermal pools. "There's a hot springs nearby, a water slide, golf course and resort hotel/casino. Easy access to I-15," explains a Fairmont RV Park visitor. According to Ron L., the RV park is "right next to Fairmont Hot Springs" with direct access to both indoor and outdoor heated pools.

Historical exploration: Tour Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park for underground limestone cave formations. "Did you know you can print out a packet for your little ones to become Cub Rangers at this State Park?" suggests Sierra V. The park combines natural wonders with educational opportunities just a short drive from Divide.

What campers like

Proximity to attractions: Campgrounds in the Divide area provide strategic bases for regional exploration. One visitor to Southside RV Park notes, "There isn't much in this corner of the world that isn't nearby. Just off I-15, it's near Lewis and Clark sites, Bozeman Trail's destination Virginia City, all the major National Parks in the Yellowstone area."

Mountain views: The landscape surrounding cabin accommodations offers scenic vistas throughout the seasons. According to Angela M., Sportsman Lodge provides "open skies and no city lights make for great stargazing." The setting combines convenience with natural beauty in a valley location.

Small-town atmosphere: Sportsman Lodge, Cabins & RV Park receives consistent praise for its authentic Montana feel. "The location is in a beautiful valley with mountain views, very remote is the feel," writes Patrick J. Ben H. describes it as "a great spot in a tiny town south of Butte Montana" with "nice views of the bluffs and mountains all around it."

What you should know

Road access challenges: Remote cabin locations require planning for transportation. Regarding Hells Canyon Guard Station, one visitor warns, "It's a 15 mile dirt road, severely rutted in spots. Steep hills, sharp corners and lots of both... the road would be daunting for anyone used to pavement and I would strongly suggest 4-wheel-drive."

Limited amenities in rustic cabins: Forest Service cabins typically provide basic shelter without modern conveniences. A guest at Fleecer Station reports, "Clean and quiet. Plenty of wood," but visitors should expect minimal facilities compared to commercial accommodations.

Seasonal availability: Many cabin facilities operate on limited schedules. The Butte KOA runs "April 15 to October 31," while other facilities may have different operational periods. Always verify dates when planning shoulder-season trips.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Select campgrounds with dedicated children's facilities. Chelsea R. notes that Butte KOA offers "a very nice KOA with extremely helpful and friendly staff" and includes "a variety of activities including outdoor oversized chess, a children's mining activity, etc."

Educational opportunities: Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park integrates learning with outdoor adventure. Sierra V. mentions the "Cub Rangers" program specifically designed for children, while Carla S. adds, "You will see live animals and bats! Shh... Lots of history to learn. The family will love this trip!"

Swimming options: During summer months, consider locations with water recreation. At Fairmont RV Resort, visitors have access to "indoor/outdoor pools" according to Doug P., who also notes the campground is just "about 2 blocks from hot spring resort with indoor/outdoor pools, dining & bar."

Tips from RVers

Leveling requirements: Site terrain varies significantly between campgrounds. At Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park, Michael B. reports needing to "use all our jack stands to combat the slope of our site (P007). Others looked much more level." Inspect site assignments carefully upon arrival.

Utilities and hookups: Fairmont RV Resort provides essential services for extended stays. Chris D. notes, "Nice level gravel site" and "Frost free spigots were good especially since the weather at night was below freezing." However, he cautions sites "are close to each other" with limited privacy.

Connectivity issues: Internet access varies widely across the region. Christopher F. observed at Butte KOA, "Another KOA with disappointing Wi-Fi connectivity. In today's world, more and more of us require this utility in order to conduct work-from-home while in our RVs." For reliable connections, consider mobile hotspot alternatives.
