6. Douglas Creek Cabin
2 Reviews•6 Photos•3 SavesDrummond, MontanaOverview
Douglas Creek Cabin offers a great way to access the various seasonal activities available in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest in western Montana. While hunting enthusiasts enjoy the cabin during bow and rifle seasons, it is popular for snowmobiling or cross-country skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer. The cabin is in a very remote location, giving anyone an outdoor recreational experience they will never forget.Access to the cabin is limited by weather conditions. Four-wheel drive is necessary in the winter. Excessive snowfall and wind can prohibit any vehicle from accessing the cabin and visitors will need to plan for cross-country skiing or snowmobiling three or more miles. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring their own amenities.
Recreation
Douglas Creek is a small stream at this location and does not support any sizeable fish. Fishing is popular in any of the mountain lakes in the vicinity, and many of them are stock by FWP. Access to the lakes will require hiking or driving various distances. The area is home to a variety of trails for hiking, but there are no designated trails near the cabin. A big game winter range and elk calving grounds are nearby, offering great wildlife viewing potential. Hunting for deer, elk and upland game birds is popular in the area. Guests also enjoy snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing in the surrounding areas during the winter.
Natural Features
The rustic, remotely located cabin is adjacent to Douglas Creek, in the north end of the Flint Creek Range. It is situated in a grassy meadow, surrounded by mature evergreen trees. The cabin was built in the 1960s and was used as an administrative location for crews working in the area.The small and narrow Douglas Creek runs about 50 feet from the cabin through the cabin site. The Flints have abundant wildlife near the cabin, and it is not uncommon to see moose, deer, elk, mountain lions, or bears(grizzly and black). The area is popular for hunting of deer, elk and blue grouse. Dozens of alpine lakes in the range provide good fishing.
Nearby Attractions
Elk and Deer winter range north of the cabin and on Douglas Mountain. Historic cabin ruins on 5153 road 2 miles east of the cabin.

9. Kading Cabin
1 Review•15 Photos•15 SavesElliston, MontanaOverview
Kading Cabin is located 16 miles south of Elliston, Montana in Helena National Forest. This site has served the Forest Service since the early 1900s when the agency was forming. It was selected for its central location, trail and wagon road accessibility, and telephone line service at the time, ensuring that it would be valuable for both administrative and protective work. The present cabin was built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Renovations and repairs were made to the facility in the 1960s and again in the early 1990s. Today, the cabin is a rustic retreat for guests seeking relaxation and recreation in central Montana. The cabin is typically accessible by car; however, heavy amounts of snow in winter can close the road to vehicles. Access to the cabin is via a 7-mile stretch of road passable by snowmobile, snowshoe, skis or dog sled. Guests must be prepared to pack in several of their own supplies.
Recreation
Plenty of hiking, fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities exist along the numerous trails and roads that can be accessed within a short distance from the cabin. Fly fishing on the Little Blackfoot River is excellent. Brown trout are found in good numbers and large sizes below Elliston. Brook and cutthroat trout are found above Elliston. Whitefish can be found throughout the length of the river. In winter, guests will enjoy snowshoeing, skiing and snowmobiling on trails throughout the area.
Natural Features
Hemmed in by old-growth, conifer forest, Kading Cabin sits at the edge of a grassy clearing. The Little Blackfoot River flows near the cabin, a tributary to the Upper Clark Fork watershed. It drains an area of 265,300 acres from the Boulder Mountains north of Butte and west of Helena. The area around the cabin offers a variety of landscapes, from river banks to subalpine terrain. Valley bottoms, dense forests, meadows and barren ridges are mixed with streams, rivers, and lakes. Wildlife in the area abounds. Elk, deer, squirrels and a variety of birds are commonly seen. The more elusive badger, wolverine, mountain lion and lynx find habitat in nearby areas as well.
Nearby Attractions
Plenty of historic mines are scattered throughout the area, including Charter Oak Mine and the Mill and the Monarch Mine.

Great overnight spot!
Great spot near Glacier National Park, quick to get to! Dog friendly, cabins and fun little round (yurt-like) metal buildings to stay in too! Plus over sized lawn chess!

Lost Horse Cabin
Spacious cabin off the beaten path
Nice spacious log cabin with plenty of room to roam/hike in the area. Beds for up to 8 people, wood stove and firewood on site (firewood not guaranteed). Large open floorplan (takes awhile to warm up when it's cold out though...).

GuideHelena North KOA
Typical KOA but not ADA or electric car friendly
This is a typical KOA. First the good: Friendly helpful staff until their gone at closing time. Little mini store with a few essentials. Clean bathrooms and showers and clean laundry room with several washers/dryers.$2.00 per load to wash. Can't remember how much to dry. Very cool pinball machine that costs 25 cents per game. Fun fun fun! Another bathroom/shower in middle of park but I never looked inside that one. 65 sites that most have full hook-up and pull-through. A few cool tent sites with gas BBQs. Some cool looking cabins but I never looked inside one. I'm here on 8/24/2024 and RV park is sold out except 3 pull-through sites. All tent sites were full. I don't know about the cabins. Cool playground for kids and large mostly gravel dog run. Edit added: AT&T has 5G and three bars. KOA has wifi but slow slow slow I got 3MPS so instead of KOA wifi I used my iPhone Personal Hotspot that worked great. THE BAD(and reason for only 3 stars): All gravel roads and sites throughout the park. Very close together. Some sites have a very narrow strip of grass. Some of the picknick tables need to be re-painted. Unfortunately while eating breakfast you could be 2 feet away from the next RV dumping their sewer. P.U. The luxury sites don't have that problem. They are at the end of each row and only have a neighbor on the drivers side. I think well worth the extra 17 bucks. Not ADA friendly. Very hard for someone with a walker to get around because of gravel roads/sites. Someone with a wheel chair near impossible. Has a nice handicap shower in main office building. Only problem is that once I take my walker in with me it's very tight and no room to move around. Not EV car friendly. There is a$250 fine and eviction if you plug in your car. The person at the front desk told me the$250 fine and eviction is because EVs overload the outdated system and cause a fire. This KOA is an older one and was wired before EVs. Each individual site has its own 30 amp and 50 amp circuit breaker. Some trees but few and far between. No pool or hot tub. Final thoughts: Make reservations well in advance if you can. This KOA is the best game in town and is mostly sold out in summer. I think(sorry I don't know for sure) there is only one other RV park in town and from what I can tell, it is a much older one. I would proceed with caution before I booked it. Good traveling. See you on the road.

Strawberry Cabin
Worth the hike for a winter advanture
Staying at Strawberry lookout cabin in December was a great experience, well worth the 1 mile uphill hike to the cabin. Our Venturing Crew stayed the night after pulling gear in a sled to the top in light snow. Everyone had a great time at the cabin. The cabin has a wood stove and firewood was provided. Keep the fire small or you will cook in the little cabin, even when its cold outside. A propane stove was provided but you will need to bring fuel. The propane lantern was broken, but luckily we took along our own light sources. Pots, pans, dishes and utensils are available in the cabin. Plenty of games were in the cabinet to keep everyone entertained. The cabin has two bunk beds, and a table with chairs. Water is not available so you will need to bring it with you. A vault toilet is next to the cabin. Outside has a picnic table next to a fire ring. Plenty of room if your group is to big for the cabin to set up tents.

Douglas Creek Cabin
Great Little Cabin with friendly neighbors
Very cute little cabin nestled next to a small creek. The area was very pretty, but had some broken fencing allowing tons of cows to surround the cabin on the morning. Very funny, but a little odd. Trip in was easy enough, road was slightly rutted, but nothing intolerable. A couple bunk beds were in the cabin, and it was definitely warm enough to survive.

Moose Creek Cabin
Great Forest Sevice cabin, very easy to get to.
Moose Creek cabin is a nice fairly large cabin. It features a kitchen area, living room and two bedrooms each with two beds. Cabin has electricity but no running water. An outhouse is outside. A nice metal fire ring is available with two picnic tables. Fire wood is supplied during the winter months. Wood stove is in the living room area to heat the cabin. Kitchen is fully stocked with plates, cups and silverware. A small propane stove is available but you need to bring your own propane. If you need additional water the near by campground has a pump for water when open. We took our Girl Scout Troop here in June and they had a great time.

Gast stove for cooking, wood stove for heat. Shed full of wood, fire pit and vault toilet. Beware of mice nests, otherwise cabin was great. Hiking trail right by the cabin, even found some huckleberry nearby.

We stopped here for one night on our way to Olympic National Park and I’m so glad we did. The grounds are SO well maintained and the owners are super nice. There are cute flower beds all around and the cabins are adorable.

Douglas Creek Cabin
You Won’t Make It There W/O a Tank
Flies everywhere, if you do get there. Also, nails all over the place. Got a flat. We ended up sleeping in the SUV. If we had gone there with that intent, and not parked close to the cabin, it would’ve been a great time. We set up a Luggable Loo rather brave the outhouse.
Note: Why would you put the fly control system right outside the entrance door? WHYYY?!?!?

Spacious&Quiet
This is a family owned RV park in Garrison, MT. Helpful hosts. Kid friendly. Gameroom. Laundry. If you want to relax, this is a great stop. Spacious spots, some mountain views. A bit of road traffic noise, but still quiet. A Chapel on the grounds and Sunday services offered. Would recommend.

Family Favorite
I can’t say enough good things about this place. The husband and wife that run this are very nice. At check in it was raining so we decided to eat at the restaurant. Simple menu with good burgers (beef,bison and elk) also good selection of local beers. After we ate , we went down stairs to the game room and played pool, table soccer and checkers for about 4 hours. We went ahead and took showers in the downstairs bathroom/ shower house. Huge clean shower stalls. Afterwards we moved down to our campsite and went to sleep in our roadtrek. This campground is small but offers rv sites, cabins, teepees and covered wagons. So far on our month long trip (two weeks in) this is our family favorite!

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.

Choose Another Location
This place is not a good choice. It is dirty and not maintained except for the bathhouse which is decent. This property caters mostly to long-term residents in older RVs and mobile homes. It is not a place for Dyrt campers wanting to get away from it all. I was the only short-term traveler, and I was charged$35 for a 20 amp electric only site. That was too much. I have been on the road full time for eight months and this is the least attractive campground yet. I don’t like to criticize other reviews, but the other rating of 4 stars is a joke. It is more like a 1. I gave it 2 because the people were very friendly and the bathhouse was a B-. There are huge pot holes in the entrance which are not RV friendly. There is no garbage dumpster and no sanitary dump. I had to drive a gas station in town to do this.

TravelerBernie & Sharons Riverfront RV Park
A Hidden Gem on the River with Exceptional Hospitality!
Our stay at Bernie and Sharon’s Riverfront RV Park was absolutely fantastic! The location is stunning – nestled right by the river, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to relax and reconnect with nature.
The hospitality was truly exceptional. Bernie and Sharon went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We enjoyed a cozy campfire thanks to their generosity in providing a fire ring and even a couple of logs to get us started. Their thoughtfulness made the experience even more memorable!
We also camped in our Tesla, and the park was fully equipped for EV travelers with a 14-50 amp outlet, making it super convenient to charge our vehicle while we enjoyed the great outdoors.
The amenities were spotless, and the grounds were beautifully maintained. Whether you’re looking to fish, explore the surroundings, or simply unwind by the water, this RV park has everything you need for a perfect getaway.
Thank you, Bernie and Sharon, for an amazing experience! We’ll definitely be back for another unforgettable stay.

Back In Time
Take a trip back in time with this camp and up to Hogback where you can dig for Montana fossils. Lots of good hiking, no bathrooms but fire pits and creek and firewood available!! So fun camping here with our family!
Eric A.GuideThe Inn at Philipsburg RV Park
In town, as advertised
Had a van battery issue so needed to plug in for the cold night. Is as advertised, not for typical bookdockers. Owner is nice and accommodating. Maybe 12 sites with some long term renters - it appeared. All hook ups available up to 50amp. Not quite close enough to down town to walk (in winter). Philipsburg is an awesome small Montana town that’s worth a stop.

Convenient, gorgeous, snug and delicious!
Easy access from I-90. Beautiful location, classic Montana with trees mountains and rivers! Great restaurant on site. Campsites are the reason for not giving 5 stars. Very tight and not great space for maneuverability. Was not full so we were fine with a big rig. Had it been full would be a little uncomfortable.
Jerold H.GuideBernie & Sharons Riverfront RV Park
Convenient to Interstate
Well run, clean campground with lots of pull through sites with full hook ups. Efficiently run. Check in was quick and easy with a golf cart escort to my site. The layout is pretty condensed so I was quite close to my neighbor. Campground was quiet, some road noise outside. An excellent option to break up a drive on I-90.

Lovely hosts and well maintained grounds
Enjoyed our stay as a stopover on way south to Big Sky. Large grounds, well maintained with green grass for the kid to run in. Walk to the river is about 3-5 min. Spaces were large. People we met there loved it so much that they’ve come back year and year again. Best of all is the story of the host… offers a safe and fun place, rescued animals, keeps camping costs affordable bc had 9 kids and couldn’t afford to stay at RV parks, etc.
JP C.RangerBernie & Sharons Riverfront RV Park
Very nice family campground
We were greeted at the entrance by 2 gentlemen that showered up on golf carts, showed us our way to our site and even guide us when backing to our site. We were driving an electric car(Tesla) and were told that we could use the 30 amp to recharge it at no extra costs. At less than 40$ for a site with 30 amp this was a steal compare to what we paid at other campgrounds.
Abigail D.ScoutBernie & Sharons Riverfront RV Park

I called 30 minutes before our arrival for a tent camping spot and the host was easily able to accommodate us. Two men met us in a golf cart and drive us to our nice grassy site. The campground had coin showers with hot water and a family friendly rec room.

One of our favorite Parks! So much history here and well maintained. Lots of trees and shade! Sharon and her Camp Hosts/ Maintenance staff do a wonderful job keeping this place clean and trimmed.
Terry and Mike meet you at your arrival and usher you to your site. We have a 40’ w/tow and opted for a pull thru for 1 night. Sharon stops by and takes your payment, and checks on if you need anything! Great to have met the matriarch of the Park! They offer Good Sam and Military rates as well!- MMelanie A.Guide

Spacious and green
We stayed here one night on our way to Wyoming and love this campground. It has large spaces and nice walking area. It is nice that the owners have intentionally kept prices down too. A couple of things to consider, there is no wifi at the sites and the ask that you don’t use mats or rugs, so it doesn’t kill the grass. I will be back and highly recommend this campground.

Nice showers, easy to get to
Fine place to stop for an overnight with access to showers and laundry. Small creek runs along the side of the KOA, with some sites along the creek. Right next to a mechanics yard of some sort, though there was little noise. Highly recommend grabbing a bite to eat at Yak Yak's, a local establishment just up the road.
