Best Cabin Camping near Melville, MT

We rented the Ibex cabin the first week of June. The cabin was in great shape. The area is nice and open, however a few more trees closer to the cabin for hammock use would have been nice. If you want to hammock there are a couple trees behind the cabin that would work but it’s kind of away from everyone if they’re hanging out up front. The open field was perfect for letting the kiddos run around while being able to keep a close eye on them. The fields were covered in wildflowers, which is always awesome! Despite that, the views were lovely and there’s a nice babbling stream right behind the campfire pit which added a nice ambiance. Fire pit was in great shape, nice solid grate for grilling. The cabin porch had a few notches where we had the pleasure of bird watching some pretty cool wood peckers come and go. Picnic table was in good condition, solid and layed flat which is always convenient. Sometimes you get picnic tables which are kind of wobbly, but this one was great. The pit toilet was fairly clean, most likely because the road had recently opened to vehicles so it was probably cleaned fairly close to when we were there. There’s also a trailhead right before the gate that connects to the neighboring Porcupine Cabin which is cool to have so close. There were quite a bit of flies inside the cabin when we arrived but luckily there was a fly swatter hanging on the wall so that took care of that problem. Nice big table inside, good for playing cards/board games. The bunk beds were slightly questionable. Two of us slept on the bottom bunks and the other two slept on ground pads on the floor just because the wobbliness of the top bunks made us a wee bit nervous. The wood burning stove was pretty small. We lit it for heat about a half hour before bed, had to restart it about five hours later, but it wasn’t too chilly outside so it wasn’t uncomfortable when it cooled off. If it had been colder outside, one would maybe have to keep waking up to relight it. All in all, great area to get away for the weekend. Highly recommend!

Great place to tent, rv, or rent a cabin. Really nice hosts, great views of the river and overall a pleasant camping spot.

We followed our RV GPS right to the campground (CG), which is a favorite of ours for a two-night stay. Check-in was quick and easy. We proceeded to Deluxe River site 18 with 30 AMP and water. You can angle the rig in as you want to get set up on the wide pad area. The utilities were in the middle of the gravel pad, and we could park where our 9’ patio could come out to enjoy the gorgeous view of the river. They have free WiFi, but it was not very fast, and we used our Starlink. There are mature trees here, but we got a clear shot north for Starlink. We got 3 bars on Verizon. The water pressure was okay. Talking to our next-door neighbors, who have stayed here over the years, this CG is under new management by a couple who also owned a KOA in Billings. There are already changes, such as getting rid of the cabins and putting in some new FHU sites. There may be plans for new cabins in the future. We also noticed that from staying here in September 2019, the ponds are now state-stocked, and you need a Montana fishing license following regular fishing regulations versus no-license pay for the trout you catch. They also have a military and senior discount, but this wasn't mentioned/given when we made our reservations online. We mentioned it to the lady who checked us in, but she didn't offer to refund us the discount like other CG's have done in the past. There is no dog park, but there’s plenty of area to walk your dog. Someday we are going to plan a longer than two-day stay so we can further explore the area and fly fish the river.

This is a beautiful place! If you get a spot next to the river they the sound of the water is phenomenal! They also stock the ponds with trout so that for dinner you can eat fish. They also clean the fish for you. The cabins that they have are clean and cozy. The tent camping sites are the best though. The showers and bathrooms are clean and have the best decor! They even have a laundry room for you to wash clothes. Right down the road to Big Timber is a small drug store with the best shakes that brings a perfect end to the day.

This is our go to spot for long weekends and other getaways with our 5th wheel. We have 8 children and we have so much fun here every time we go!

Conveniently located about 5 miles off I-90! We stayed one night on our way from the Badlands to Glacier National Park and I wish we would have had more time here. Our site backed up to the Boulder River which was beautiful! Clean campground, friendly staff, and adequate bathroom facilities. (I should include that we made reservations about an hour before we arrived due to our reserved site at Riverside campground in Laurel, Montana being abandoned!)

Had a great stay here! We stayed in a backin site right along the river which was perfectly level, had a nice fire ring, clean shower house surrounded by beautiful countryside mountains. Friendy owners with great knowledge of the area.

We had a good experience here. Unfortunately, the river was very high and rushing strongly due to snow melt in early June, but our overall experience was great. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The bathrooms were very clean, and the hot showers in the clean shower houses were amazing.

Very friendly and a beautiful site. We had a spot right on the water and it was amazing. The hosts are very nice. Can’t wait to come back in the spring.

I pulled off I-90 after a long (windy) trip to get had in Big Timber, MT. We saw a sign for Spring Creek and wanted to check if see they had any spots for the night. After driving through town and a little bit of Deliverance Country, we turned in the RV Park and Trout Ranch. Despite being busy with rodeos and other events, Gina (one of the camp hosts) found my little family a spot. They are very friendly and accommodating here at Spring Creek. Would highly recommend.

Very nice campground with a beautiful river next to it. Try to get a spot on either end instead of next to river if you are in an rv as these sites are very close together.

The RV park is very well kept. The camp host was friendly and helpful providing helpful information on weather and trails😁👍

Our site was level and clean. Staff was friendly. Large grass area for dogs to play. Nice Quiet area. Highly recommend the Natural Bridge Falls down the road. It’s beautiful.

Beautiful grounds with clean restrooms and showers along the river.

Tent camped for 1 night. Campground was quiet and had very clean bathrooms/showers. Would definitely stay here again but pay the extra $10 for dry camp as it was pretty muddy
