Best Cabin Camping near Lima, MT

Several cabin rentals operate near Lima, Montana, providing rustic to upgraded accommodations within driving distance. Antone Cabin offers a remote experience with gas lights and a gas stove, though the access road presents challenges. "This is a GORGEOUS cabin. The view is amazing! There are gas lights and a gas stove, both which were nice to have," notes a visitor. Southside RV Park in Dillon includes cabin options alongside standard camping, featuring clean facilities, drinking water, and shower access. Vigilante Campground at Bannack State Park offers cabin accommodations adjacent to a historic ghost town, while Notch Cabin provides more isolated lodging with toilet facilities but no electrical hookups.

Rustic cabin rentals vary considerably in amenities and accessibility throughout the region. Most require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when tourism peaks. Antone Cabin requires navigating several miles of forest roads with potential obstacles. Pet policies differ between locations—Antone Cabin and Southside RV Park allow pets, while West Fork Cabin prohibits them. Bannack State Park cabins remain accessible year-round according to their listing information. A reviewer noted about the Bannack area: "Nestled next to an old ghost town with a creek flowing around it. No att coverage, super quiet. No hook ups."

Most cabin facilities provide basic shelter but expect guests to bring bedding, cooking supplies, and personal items. Notch Cabin and Henneberry House include drinking water on site, while others require visitors to bring their own. Cabins with electricity often provide minimal outlets for charging devices or powering small appliances. The Broken Arrow Lodge offers shower facilities and trash disposal, though most rustic cabins have limited amenities. Dillon, approximately 20 miles north of Lima, offers the nearest full-service grocery options for cabin campers. Visitors staying at more remote locations should arrive fully provisioned, as forest service cabins typically provide shelter and basic furniture but few conveniences.

    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.

    Antone Cabin

    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.

    Vigilante Campground — Bannack State Park

    Camp near a ghost town

    Vigilante campground at Bannack State Park is perfect for those who like ghost towns. The Campground has 16 sites, one site is just for those arriving by bike. A tipi is available for $30 a night for Montana residents or $42 for non-residents. Sites are a little pricey starting at $18 for residents $28 for non-residents. Kids visiting the park can work on a Jr. Ranger program. Great time to visit is when they have volunteers dressed in period clothing. You can go in to and check out just about every building in the town. The state park has a second campground, Road Agent, near this one.

    Southside RV Park

    Very clean

    This campground was very clean. Trees and grass and the creek at each of the front sites. Nice laundry and clean bathrooms ans showers. The owner, Janet is always working to make it comfortable. She takes each guest to their site, personally. There are movies to check out, no cost, in the office. It is close to many things in town.

    Vigilante Campground — Bannack State Park

    Camp next to a ghost town!

    Bannack is a ghost town that has been designated as a MT State Park. The 1860s mining town's buildings have been stabilized but not restored. It's fascinating. The adjacent campground would be handy but is $28 for those who are not Montana residents. The sites are closely spaced but do offer a few large cottonwoods for shade. A creek runs through the campground, and all was well maintained.

    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.

    Vigilante Campground — Bannack State Park

    Beautiful small camp

    Nestled next to an old ghost town with a creek flowing around it. No att coverage, super quiet. No hook ups. Vault toilets, community water faucet. Plenty of room for our 30’ trailer and truck. Just empty your tanks and fill up on water, food and supplies in Dillon. Heavily shaded. Bring a generator to charge you bank, though I felt bad about running them because of the disruption in the serenity.

    Vigilante Campground — Bannack State Park

    Just Awesome

    Awesome little campground next to Grasshopper Creek. There aren’t many sites here but we were lucky enough to get two. Each space has plenty of room for the kids to run around and play. Caught a few fish on the fly too. Mosquitos were bad, no surprise there with the creek close by. The ghost town is a must see!
