Best Cabin Camping near Red Lodge, MT

I really enjoyed my stay at the Sunlight Rangers Cabin. I am a huge outdoors person, so coming here was perfect for me. There are some awesome hiking trails that lead you to some great views and scenery. The campground is located within the Shoshone National Forest and near Sunlight Creek. The scenery that surrounds the cabin is beautiful- lots of trees and mountains. The cabin was really nice, clean and well kept. You do have to call ahead of time to make your reservations because they do not take walk-ins. You do need to bring your own food and supplies because the campground does not provide that. You also are responsible for cleaning the cabin before you leave- they did tell us that you will be charged if you leave the place a mess. They do provide some cleaning products. Also, no pets are allowed. Thankfully we asked when we were booking the place, or else we would have brought our dog. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin, and had 4 people. The two bedroom cabin was plenty of room for the 4 of us. The cabins have all the amenities you need- a kitchen (table, stove, fridge), full bathrooms, living room (with fireplace), and beds. You do need to bring your own sheets and sleeping bags. During my stay, we hiked both days. We did Bonneville Pass and Jade Lakes. Jade Lakes was a pretty easy hike, however Bonneville Pass was definitely harder. Great views for both! I would definitely recommend hiking at least once during your stay. The Shoshone National Forest offers a great variety of hikes for all levels. I would just do your research beforehand so you don't get stuck doing a hike you can't handle. I would recommend this campground (however, it is about $150 a night, but worth it!).

This is one of the best camping cabins for equestrians that I found so far in Montana. Getting from the main road into the cabin can be a bit tricky for vehicles over 30 feet. This cabin has plenty of room to sleep 6. There are Corrals for horses and pasture. And the trails into the forest service are endless in a couple different directions. There is also a vault toilet for day travelers. The cabin has electricity and running water a fire ring and it's also close to a creek. The only down holes are mosquitoes and you cannot overnight camp only rent the cabin so if you're planning a trip you need to plan and Reserve this cabin in advance as it goes really fast every year.

Bright, friendly, family-style situation 10 minutes north of Red Lodge. Responsive and friendly hosts make navigating the COVID pandemic easier. The north tentsite side has the benefit of river ambience, while the south side has the kid playground amenities. They were renovating the pool as of early June but looked to be making good progress. Easy to find, glorious hikes around Red Lodge, which boasts the Beartooth Mountains, home of ski runs going 9-10 months of the year (including now) and one of the nation’s highest passes. I never give 5 stars unless there is spectacular scenery in or right around a campsite, and I didn’t see them enforcing quiet hour (although it wasn’t a big deal). A good value, all things considered.

I was nervous pulling in since we're glampers, but was so pleasantly surprised. The new owners are the most hospitable, friendly and helpful people we've met. The ample renovations are clearly visible. What a great clean campground near the Beartooth Hwy, Chief Joseph hwy and beautiful Red Lodge. Within hour of Billings or Cody. About an hour and half to northern Yellowstone also. The hook ups are awesome, heated pool, immaculate facilities, and awesome trail off the CG. The only drawback was spotty WiFi and limited channels using antenna. Sites were level, patio sites are beautiful and cabins are new or completely refurbished. We loved our time here and highly recommend a stay here. Don't miss the awesome local businesses. The stores and views are breathtaking

Typical KOA with those amenities. Sites are close together as usual at a KOA. Pads are gravel and super narrow. Lots of kids having a blast at the pool, riding their bikes and playing in the creek that borders the campground. Dog park is adequate though small. Staff is nice and responsive. We did not have a picnic table at our site and they quickly brought one when I asked. They said people were stealing them as well as the fire rings. A bit odd that someone would steal a wooden and metal frame picnic table? We gave our fire ring to the family next to us as we weren’t going to use it and the office told them they didn’t have any extra.

Giving 3 stars due to the proximity of the highway (you can definitely hear the traffic) and train tracks (no train overnight though) as well as the odd picnic table issue and the narrowness of the pads. But if you have children they will most likely love this place.

The Deer Creek Cabin is a FS rental cabin located inside the 2006 Derby Fire burn area. Most people who use it ATV or use horses in. We hiked in from Jim’s Gulch TH, follow the FS directions exactly, do not use google maps. Any car can make it in the road is maintained. This a very difficult 4mi hike on a trail with significant tree fall, not marked, at times difficult to find a trail at all and not traveled much. There are several hoodoos on the trail which you would not have seen if it was forested. Also a family of very large owls. This is bear country, act accordingly. We didn’t see another soul and that is rare... and great. Once you hit the creek, there are 5 crossings, about knee deep July 3. Cabin was clean and kept. Fire ring with wood, chop some for the next visitor. Mouse droppings in corners but no alive visitors at night. Don’t sweep unless you have a mask for hauntavirus warnings. A family owned this until ‘93, a well stocked hunting cabin. Filtering water required due to livestock who graze, creek is very close. Beautiful full moon rising.
