Best Cabin Camping near Hobson, MT

Cabin options near Hobson, Montana include several Forest Service rentals with varying amenities and accessibility. The Judith Guard Station features a historic two-story structure that sleeps eight people, equipped with propane heat, a cook stove, and water from a hand pump. "The Judith Guard cabin is an amazing forest service cabin to stay in. This cabin is an historic two story cabin near the Middle Fork of the Judith River," notes one visitor. Crystal Lake Cabin provides a more rustic experience with limited amenities but remains accessible during summer months from June 15 to Labor Day, while Kings Hill Cabin offers electricity and indoor toilets with year-round highway access.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The Dry Wolf Cabin provides a more primitive experience without electricity, running water, or indoor toilets, but includes a propane stove for cooking and a wood stove for heat. Reservations are required for all cabin rentals through recreation.gov, with rates typically around $60 per night. Most cabins have restrictions regarding pets, with several properties not allowing animals inside the structures. One camper mentioned, "Cabin stays cool in the summer and has wood stove for cold winters. Propane stove makes cooking easy."

Most Forest Service cabins require visitors to bring their own bedding, lighting sources, and cooking supplies. While propane heat is common, guests should verify what's provided before arrival. The Judith Guard Station includes beds but no electricity, so campers need to bring light sources. Water availability varies by location—some cabins have hand pumps while others require collecting water from nearby creeks. Camp Rotary offers more developed facilities with larger bathrooms and a covered picnic area. Winter visitors should prepare for snow access, though Kings Hill Cabin's proximity to the highway makes it particularly suitable for cold-weather stays.

    Camp Rotary

    Great for winter camping

    I camp here with Boy Scouts since the place is often reserved for youth organizations. In the winter it can be fun but to climb some hills. Each campground has cabins which hold about 11 people and tent spaces out side. The cabin do have semi-decent heating, but not AC. The bathrooms are really big and well developed (and super warm for the winter). There is also a big “roof building” with picknick tables to eat food.

    Crystal Lake Group Campsite

    Nobody there

    Friday night and not a soul in sight. Like other reviews- very open. Staying on the outside provides better privacy, but with no one there - lots of privacy.

    Crystal Lake Cabin

    Crystal Lake is mostly gone

    Allegedly, Crystal Lake drained into a limestone fissure in the earth. Bummer. But it's still an insanely beautiful area with hikes up to a year-round ice cave! The area is a mountain oasis in North Central Montana.

    Dry Wolf Cabin

    Comfortable stay year round

    Cabin stays cool in the summer and has wood stove for cold winters. Propane stove makes cooking easy. Creek nearby for water (or campground a few miles up road has well and spring with potable water). Lots of activities nearby rock hounding/fossils, hikes, small waterfall, swimming in creek.

    Moose Creek Campground

    Quiet and Private

    There was no sign for this campsite on the highway. I just pulled off the highway where it said access to National Forest, and it appeared fairly close to the highway. There were only half a dozen sites or so, and no amenities. And of course, no cost. I think the actual Moose Creek Campground is farther up the road and away from the highway. But this was perfect for someone who is caravaning and needed a quick place to stop. It's right on the creek and it was delightful. There was one other camper in there the evening I was there.

    Beautiful!

    One of our favorites places to boondock. Beautiful views, the lake is amazing, and the hike to the ice caves, while difficult, is SO worth it.
