Best Cabin Camping near Sula, MT

Sula, Montana and the surrounding Bitterroot National Forest area feature several cabin rental options for visitors seeking rustic accommodations. The East Fork Cabin provides drinking water and electric hookups while maintaining a remote forest setting. McCart Lookout offers a more primitive experience with a tower-style cabin that "sleeps 2 with a bed platform. Items provided are a coleman latern, a 2 burner propane stove, a wood stove for heat, a bow saw, and an axe," according to a recent visitor. The Sula Country Store and Resort features log cabins with porches, adjacent fire pits, and picnic tables. These cabins provide more comfort amenities including access to showers, toilets, and laundry facilities.

Rustic forest service cabins require visitors to bring most supplies, while resort cabins typically include more amenities. The Twin Lakes Cabin sits near two mountain lakes where motorized boats are prohibited, making it ideal for peaceful retreats. Most forest service cabins like Hogan Cabin, May Creek Cabin, and Medicine Point Lookout have strict reservation requirements through the national forest booking system. Pet policies vary by location. The Woods Cabin accommodates larger groups but receives mixed reviews, with one camper noting it was "very dirty and infested with mice" and "the fireplaces needed to be refilled hourly to keep it somewhat comfortable."

Most forest service cabins require guests to bring bedding, lighting, cooking equipment, and food supplies. Cabins typically feature wood or propane heating but limited kitchen facilities. The Sula Country Store and Resort offers a small general store with basic provisions and a restaurant serving breakfast and lunch. Visitors to remote cabins like McCart Lookout should prepare for primitive conditions with no running water or electricity. Access to many cabins involves travel on unpaved forest roads that can be challenging in adverse weather conditions. Twin Lakes Cabin visitors should note the location is "about a 15 mile commute on a gravel road" according to visitor reports, with recommendations for AWD or 4WD vehicles during certain seasons.

    Sula Country Store and Resort

    Nicest, cleanest, friendliest

    I was camping at a nearby national park site that had a flyer for Camp Sula, saying that if you show the receipt from your stay you can use Camp Sulas shower, laundry facilities and wifi at no cost. I arrived there and the ladies working in the combination store/restaurant/gas and coffee station were so friendly and down to earth. I was given a towel and shampoo/conditioner for the shower, they had complimentary and coin washing machines, and coin dryers, all very efficient. After my shower and waiting for clothes to dry, I walked around the camp, the log cabins are adorable and cozy, each has its own porch, picnic table and adjacent fire pit. There is free put-put golf, horseshoes, tetherball and a small well stocked fishing pond with benches to watch the action or simply admire the beauty of the surroundings. It is close to the main highway but tucked back enough you feel "away" from the bustle. I enjoyed myself so much I inquired about camping there for the night & I would only need a parking space because I sleep in my truck bed canopy. They were full (accommodates RVs and tents) but offered a makeshift spot right by the creek. It was perfect. Because of COVID, they had limited reservations for dinner, and practiced social distancing and requested patrons wear masks. Not everyone participated with their request but were equally treated with kindness and respect. I highly recommend their breakfast, big fluffy pancakes and local meats. They kept the restaurant, showers & bathroom & store very very clean. The location is a landmark, the Lewis and Clark expedition camped there on their way to discover the west. I highly recommend them

    Hogan Cabin

    Amazing remote location. Great wildlife viewing, snowshoeing, hiking, etc..

    Spent 3 nights at Hogan Cabin, MT last summer (Aug 2018). I loved the isolation of the location. Up at 7200ft you get a little winded hiking around, but the incredible scenery is worth it. Found a primitive A-frame structure in the woods about a mile from the cabin. Saw several deer and elk feeding in the field near the cabin, as well as a moose in the marsh along the creek. 

    The cabin itself is nothing to jump up and down about. With only 2 sets of bunk beds, my wife and I put the bedding on the floor and made a full sized bed. There's no running water so be sure to bring plenty. 

    There's an vault toilet in the outhouse. 

    There is also a HUGE fire pit with swinging grill for cooking.

    Twin Lakes

    Beautiful, Serene, Off the beaten path

    It is a very off the beaten path, tucked away in the woods, true getaway from the busy city life. Travel south on 278 from Wisdom, MT and take the chance on an 18 mile gravel road to find a place only you see in pictures and read about in magazines. Drive through open cattle ranges and find a beautiful campground nestled up to 2 small lakes connected by a shallow channel. Clear water to see the bottom where it's shallow enough. No motorized boats allowed, so bring your own kayak or canoe and a fishing pole or two to enjoy the refreshing waters at the bottom of the mountains. Even in July, you can see snow atop the mountains on the Montana-Idaho border.

    • Large, open water front spaces to set up "shop"
    • Site 10 had room for 3 tents, 3 SUVs, 1 picnic table + extra side table, fire ring/grill, canoe, chairs around fire and shoreline, laundry lines
    • Not crowded (maybe 5 sites taken when we were there)
    • Bathrooms are clean (but no locks or hand sanitzer...at least the one I used)
    • Water available
    • One bear storage container at front entrance
    • Must pack up and take out your own trash (no bear proof trash cans)
    • Fire rings with grills available

    Gird Point

    Gorgeous!!

    Gird Point Campground which is located in the Bitterroot National Forest is gorgeous. I love camping in Montana- I honestly have never had a bad experience camping anywhere in Montana. Gird Point is definitely no exception. My favorite part about this campsite is that it is located at the top of a peak. Camping on this peak definitely has gorgeous views, no doubt. There are three different mountain ranges that you are able to look out and see. Honestly, this is the best thing to wake up to. Talk about picturesque. You are able to stay in the lookout which has two beds that you are able to put your sleeping bags/pads on, and the lookout sleeps 4 people. When I went, we did have 4 people and it fit us pretty well. There is also a wood stove that works great for heating up water and cooking. The lookout also comes with some utensils and other amenities. Obviously, you do need to bring your own bathing supplies, sleeping supplies, food and drinks. You are able to drive to a certain point and then you do have to hike the remainder of the length to the lookout. The hike isn't too bad.

    Twin Lakes

    15 miles off the path

    Overall it was a great campsite. There are currently 17 camping spots with a cabin as well. The campsite is located right on the lake and it’s about a 15 mile commute on a gravel road to get there. If your plan is to stay at the campsite for the duration of your visit I would recommended it. But if you are going to explore the area you have to make the 30 mile round trip in order to get to the main road. It was also busy when we got there (Friday night) all 17 campsites were full. There are plenty of great campsites that aren’t 30 mile round trip on gravel roads. The actual sites itself were nice with picnic tables and fire pits.

    Twin Lakes Cabin (MT)

    Beautiful campground and view of mountain/lake

    Cabin was nice for our needs.  Parking space was limited to one single vehicle without a trailer.  Firewood and lantern were not provided.

    Flint Creek Campground

    Clean and quiet at night

    Nice little campground outside of Philipsburg next to the highway and a creek. There are only 10 sites on the lollipop loop, 6 along the “stick”, all on the creek side, and 4 on the loop. There are a couple extra vehicle parking areas too. Creek side sites are better, but sites 7 and 8 seem to be the largest. I was pleasantly surprised there was a host for only 10 free first come sites. All the basics are here- picnic tables and fire pits and one clean vault toilet. I did not see any hook ups of any kind for RVs. Pretty quiet at night but traffic starts around 6:30 in the morning, so you will have some daytime noise. I saw a deer walking through the campground in the late evening as well. 

    The only downside was my very noisy neighbors, but that is more about the people and less about the campground.

    Mccart Lookout

    A bit of paradise

    Well worth the drive and the short hike up the mountain. Beautiful views from all around the tower. Very peaceful and relaxing. The tower sleeps 2 with a bed platform. Items provided are a coleman latern, a 2 burner propane stove, a wood stove for heat, a bow saw, and an axe.

    There is an outhouse on site along with a firepit.
