    Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs offers cabin accommodations in Saco, near Malta, and features clean, well-maintained units with full amenities. The property provides access to their signature hot spring pools, with three different temperature options ranging from 45°F to 106°F. "Our mom stayed in one of the cabins, which was very clean and well-kept," noted one visitor, though they mentioned a broken pull-out couch while praising other cabin features. The resort offers both indoor and outdoor pool access, with cabin guests receiving 24-hour pool privileges.

    Rustic cabins are available at both Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs and the Buckhorn Store, Cabins & RV Park. The latter provides more basic accommodations with limited amenities but receives positive reviews for its convenient access to the Little Rockies mountains. According to one visitor, "It's a great little-known spot with easy access to miles of multi-use trails for hiking."

Buckhorn Store allows pets in their cabins, while Sleeping Buffalo has family-friendly units with varying bed configurations.

    Most cabins in the Malta region include beds and basic furniture, but guests typically need to bring their own linens, towels, and personal items. Kitchen facilities vary between properties, with some offering minimal cooking equipment. The Buckhorn Store functions as both accommodation and supply point, providing groceries and gas. Sleeping Buffalo features on-site dining that receives high marks from visitors, with one noting that the "restaurant really blew us away—incredible food, fantastic drinks from the bar, and top-notch service." Visitors planning extended cabin camping stays should stock up on supplies in Malta before arrival, as both cabin campgrounds sit in rural locations with limited shopping options nearby.

      Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs

      It is good if you want to soak

      This campground is fine if you want to go to the hot tub. You cannot use it after 8pm so keep that in mind if you are traveling into the evening. My problem was with the campground showers. It is in the shape of a U. Right side is men's Left women's and a handicap private room in the middle at the bottom of the U. There is an exterior entry door in the middle across from handicap, it has a thumb lock. There are no other doors, not on the toilets, on the showers, only private closets. The showers and toilets have shower curtains that do not spread completely across the openings. I was in the shower area and could hear the men in the other side and it was not pleasant at all. I could see this causing anxiety for many. Especially traveling alone. The showers were clean and nice just not very safe feeling.

      Great relaxing spot

      Camped in a pull through with our teardrop but because we didn’t need hookups, they gave us tent price! All of the staff were friendly! Hot springs were fantastic! Hot, medium and cold pool, indoor and outdoor pools, huge sauna, chairs, tables, lots of room …just perfect!! They even provide towels! Everything was clean. Everything you need for tv park type camping. Not many people here so we didn’t feel packed in! Highly recommend a stop! PS we didn’t experience any mosquitos but it was windy.

      Great stop! Hot spring tubs were amazing!

      No reservation, we took a chance on having a spot available. If you are leaving/coming to Glacier NP and driving on US2….this should be your overnight. It is about 340 miles from West Glacier.

      Nice level pull through spots, gravel….room to enjoy picnic table and fire ring. Nice sunset views. Boys loved basketball court. Bath house was clean.

      Went to pools in the morning, open at 0900. 2 swims are included with camping spot. There are indoor and outdoor pools, 3 temperatures and spacious. Also, sauna is huge…very nice facilities.

      Be sure to check out store before you leave, lots of cuts of local beef.

      4 Stars–Relaxing, Clean, and Surprisingly Good Food (Just Bring Bug Spray)

      We spent a few nights at Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs and honestly, it was a refreshing, peaceful escape. The hot springs were incredible—clean, relaxing, and just what we needed to recharge. The staff was fantastic across the board: friendly, helpful, and genuinely seemed to care that we were having a good time.

      Our RV site was wide and easy to pull into, with perfectly placed hookups. It felt like the campground was actually designed with RVers in mind. The only real downside? The mosquitoes were fierce, especially at dusk—definitely bring spray and maybe a flamethrower.

      There’s not much to do in the area, but the campground itself was peaceful and clean. There’s a basketball court for the kids, and while it’s not packed with amenities for families, our kids still had fun and loved seeing the free-range chickens strutting around like they owned the place.

      The restaurant really blew us away—incredible food, fantastic drinks from the bar, and top-notch service. Honestly, it rivaled some of the best dining we’ve had in Montana. The only disappointment was that it closes early, so plan ahead if you want a late dinner or drink. 

      My mom stayed in one of the cabins, which was very clean and well-kept. The only hiccup was the pull-out couch being broken, but everything else was in great shape. Also, shoutout to their fast and dependable Wi-Fi - our Starlink cable broke, so we got to test it out, and it didn’t miss a beat.

      Overall, we’d say it’s a better fit for adults looking to unwind, soak, and eat well—but if you bring kids, they’ll find ways to have fun. Would definitely come back(with bug spray in hand).

      Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs RV Park

      We came into Saco, MT from the west. Turned from Hwy 2 to Hwy 243. SBH is on your right less than a mile from HWY 2. There are about 30 sites in the Park About 11 are back-in (40+ -80ft) and the rest are pull-thru’s of 48 - 90’. We were there 1 night over the Labor Day weekend - we had reservations - but all that was left was a 43’ pull thru. We had to disconnect our tow. The Hot spring pool house is cool to visit and swim in! There are showers in the pool area as well as a dedicated shower house in the camp ground. Both were clean but dated.
      Sites are gravel and level.

      Fun stop coming or going to Glacier from the East

      Stopped overnight on our way home from glacier. 

      Quiet, with plenty of RV sites that can accommodate pretty big rigs. Our spot was pretty level. Prices are about on par with other places. Mid$40 a night. As RV parks go i would consider it average, no frills, good place to sleep. Our spot was about 3" low on the passenger side.

      The indoor hot spring fed pools are nice, clean, well maintained and are what set this spot apart from the rest.

      There is an extra charge to use them, but much better than your standard campground pool, the pool is bath water warm, the hot tub is HOT, the sauna is nice, and the plunge pool really shocks your senses in between.

      I would definitely stop again if we are passing through, and it is at an ideal stopping point from glacier NP heading east. 

      One important thing to note about visiting the hot springs. The water is high in mineral content. Don't wear light colored swimwear.

      Family Favorite

      We loved our stay here. Pools are awesome very relaxing. Main pool is kept at 95 , hot spring is 106 and small pool is 45. All pools are water from the hot spring. Also sauna is huge downside is it has a concrete floor that gets super hot. From memory most sauna have a raised wood deck ? Campground is nice , basketball goal, 4 horseshoe pits and a community fire pit . Bathhouse/bathroom was very nice and clean. In the main lobby they have pizza and hot dogs you can buy. Pizza was pretty good. There is also a large selection of sodas, waters and maybe beer I don’t remember . Owners /workers were very nice. Now the only thing we didn’t care for is the campground guest can only use the pool till 8pm. While the hotel/cabin guest have access 24 hrs. Not a deal breaker but would’ve been nice to go whenever maybe there’s a reason didn’t ask.

      Clean, Beautiful Pools

      The pool area is first rate! The campground is OK, no great shakes. Sites are fairly close together. Expensive considering they only give you $2 of at the pool from the $15 fee to use the pools. Bathhouse is clean and well kept.

      If you stay in site 12, know that even though it looks like a back in site, you actually have to pull through over the grass to get your rig in with the hook ups on the correct side.

      Also, the Phillips County Pioneer Museum in Malta is well worth a visit. Awesome local history and super collection of actual dinosaur fossils, but not just casts.
