    The Antone Cabin, constructed in 1929, sits in a beautiful open meadow, at the edge of a thick forest, providing visitors with a unique camping experience on the southwestern end of the Snowcrest Mountain range. With it's end of the road location, it's usually pretty quiet in the summer. The cabin opens for use on July 1and stays open until December, and it is popular throughout the rental season. The cabin is small and intended for 2 people.In addition to hunting access, the facility provides ample opportunities for hiking, backpacking and horseback riding. The cabin lies within proposed wilderness so snowmobiling and bicycling are not permitted off the main access road, FS325. Snowmobile use, on the road, is only permitted after December 1. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities to really enjoy their stay at Antone Cabin.

The 40-mile trail can serve as the means for a hearty horseback adventure, a lengthy backpacking trip, or make for several day trips into the wilderness. Antone Peak is a popular day hike, about 2 miles away but more challenging than one might expect. The nearby Blacktail Deer Creek, and other seasonal mountain streams, offer access to fishing. Anglers can enjoy a possible catch of brook or cutthroat trout.

Together with the nearby Gravelly Range, the area is one of Montana's most popular hunting grounds.

      Overview

      Notch Cabin is located in a remote part of southwestern Montana, within proposed wilderness, and is open from July 1 through November. It is somewhat difficult to access, but worth the trouble for outdoor enthusiasts. The cabin is used by big game hunters during hunting season. Hiking is available in the summer and fall. The cabin was built by a miner in the early 1900s. The surrounding landscape is thick with sage and grasslands, transitioning to timbered slopes that are full of wildlife. A high-clearance, four-wheel drive vehicle is required to access the cabin, which is located near the end of a very rough road. The cabin offers some basic amenities. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring most of their own supplies and gear.

      Recreation

      In addition to big game hunting, visitors can enjoy hiking, backpacking and horseback riding in the area. While no Forest Service trails are within the immediate vicinity of the cabin, the Snowcrest Trail is within a mile. It covers the entire range, providing panoramic views of the area. The 40-mile trail can serve as a hearty horseback riding adventure, a lengthy backpacking trip, or make for several day trips. The nearby seasonal mountain streams offer access to fishing. Anglers can enjoy a possible catch of brook trout, among other species. The wildlife management area is also good for hunting, but offers a perfect opportunity for visitors to catch a glimpse of wildlife in their natural habitat. Due to the high elevation and short growing season, recreational livestock is allowed only if supplemental feed (certified weed-free) is brought in. No pasture or corral is available. The final two miles of the access road to the cabin are not suitable for horse trailers.

      Natural Features

      The cabin is situated at an elevation of 8,470 feet in a notch between Olson Peak and Hogback Mountain on the Snowcrest Range. A small stream runs about 100 feet in front of the cabin. The Robb-Ledford Wildlife Management Area is nearby, which is an important elk and big game winter range that spans more than 28,000 acres in southwestern Montana. In addition to elk, the range is home to mule deer, upland birds and a growing population of grizzly bears (learn more about bear safety).

        You’re looking for a Montana vacation with local hosts who know the land, the wildlife, and the outdoor recreation – and work to make your stay comfortable, welcoming, and memorable.

        Our life’s work is doing just that.

        We first purchased land in the Ruby Valley after growing up in Butte, Montana, in the early 1980s.

        Since then, we’ve been riding horses, hunting, and fly fishing in this area, often taking friends along to share in our adventures.

        Eventually, we started dreaming about opening a guest ranch and bringing more people on our excursions.

        In June 1993, we decided to go for it and went to work building the Montana lodge we’re proud to host our guests in.

        Just one year later we opened Broken Arrow Lodge and have gratefully shared our Montana hunting, fly fishing, and ranching lifestyle with guests since then.

        We look forward to serving you and making your Montana vacation amazing!

        Beaverhead River RV Park

        Older RV Park used to be a KOA

        We stayed here twice this year, once going North and then headed South for home.  First time they put us in a full hook-up that was to small so I asked for a bigger spot and because about 1/3rd of the spots were empty, they moved me.  Owner was very friendly and willing to find us a better spot.  Second time was on Sunday and the note on door put us in an even smaller full hook-up, despite me asking for a bigger site so I wouldn't have to unhook.  This is one reason for only three stars.  Office was closed and no one answered the phone or returned our call.  The site was totally unacceptable.  Even if I un-hooked there was not enough room to park the pick-up truck.  Left several messages, no response.  We moved to an empty water/electric only site and set up.  An hour later another camper came in and said we were in their spot.  We moved again to another spot hoping no one would claim it.  Still no response from owner.  I guess camp is unsupervised on Sunday.  Maybe owner was out of town.

        Second reason for only three stars:  Camp is older and full hook-up sites are close to each other.  I did not see any 50 amp, only 30 amp.  The openings for dumping are a couple of inches below ground level and the kind you just point the hose down and put a few rocks over to hold it down.  Gravel sites that are mostly level.  

        The Good:  The water and electric only sites in the back (spots 28 to 36) of the park are long and spread out.  I recommend if you can go without having sewer connection, the ones in back (spots 28 to 36) are the best to stay in.  Don't get the ones in front.  Big trees and lots of grass (but watch out for the gofer holes).  Quiet and peaceful night.

        Did not use their restrooms or showers or pool (may not have been open) so no comment.  There is a dump site.  Wifi was 17 mbs but slowed down in the evening.  We use AT&T and got two bars of 5G.

        Incredible cabin, less than swell road

        This is a GORGEOUS cabin. The view is amazing! There are gas lights and a gas stove, both which were nice to have. We took a walk around in the surrounding hills, saw tons of cows and what was definitely a grizzly. There’s a parking lot down below by the gate where it seems lots of hunters leave their cars and travel in the backwoods to hunt.

        It took us a very long time to get to the cabin, and the forest road in was several miles of ruts and herds of cows blocking the road. It took triple the time we expected to arrive, but found the cabin wonderful when we did.

        Beaverhead for one night

        It is in a nice location with old growth trees all around. Bathrooms are good, clean but slow working toilets. We stayed there end of April which is really just the start of the camping season and it was a wet evening. Plan on dirt in your camper because the grounds are not well kept and the gravel pads need a refresh. My big irritation was the dog poop all around our camp spot. We came in at night and did not see it until the next day. Bad maintenance and bad, lazy dog owners!! Would I stay again? Not sure. Not as windy of a location as the Countryside RV Park because of its location and bathrooms are much better. Out of downtown. Nice playground if you have kids. Trees are nice in high summer.

        Southside RV Park

        Reasonable price and a great place to stop over for the night

        I'm giving this four stars as a quick stopover point- nothing against the resort but Dillon isn't a place we could find much to stay longer term for.  We had a really clean, level gravel site- that was a pull through, for $45 a night.  Fair price and as others have said, the park is clean and very convenient.  Our site was an end site and therefore felt pretty roomy.  During our stay the wifi was pretty horrible, so much so I'd say you should plan to bring your own internet connectivity.  Lastly, there is pretty decent shade on most sites.

        Great stop over in a cute little town right down the street from a brewery and another fun restaurant “Sparky’s”. The owners were friendly upon our last minute late check in without a reservation at 8:30 PM. The sites were well maintained and they spaced each visitor since the campground wasn’t full, to give each guest their own space.
