Best Glamping near Silver Gate, MT
Beartooth Lake and Island Lake Campground both offer unique glamping accommodations within the stunning alpine environment of the Beartooth Mountains near Silver Gate. The glamping sites feature canvas tents with real beds, private decks overlooking crystal-clear mountain lakes, and solar-powered lighting systems that enhance the wilderness experience while providing essential comforts. "We stayed here for 2 nights in July. It was a great campground within walking distance to the lake, which made it perfect for paddle boarding," noted one visitor about Island Lake. Each glamping tent includes raised wooden platforms, plush mattresses with premium linens, rustic furnishings, and propane heaters for chilly mountain nights, with some units offering compact kitchenettes stocked with basic cooking essentials.
Hiking trails lead directly from the glamping areas to panoramic mountain viewpoints, with the Claw Lake Trail providing an 8-mile journey past several beautiful alpine lakes. East Rosebud and Emerald Lake areas connect glampers with pristine fishing spots where rainbow trout and whitefish abound in the clear mountain waters. A recent visitor highlighted, "Words don't describe the beauty—I go here every year." Winter glamping options remain available at Mammoth Campground with heated safari tents that operate year-round, while the other locations typically open from late May through early September. The high elevation (over 9,000 feet) creates dramatic stargazing opportunities from private viewing decks, though guests should prepare for rapidly changing mountain weather conditions including occasional summer hail even in July.
