Moose Creek Campground offers cabin rentals from May to October with picnic tables, drinking water, and electric hookups.

Most forest service cabins include basic furnishings like bunk beds, tables, and wood-burning stoves for heat.

Rustic cabin options include Miller Cabin and Calf Creek Cabin, both accessible by vehicle and requiring reservations. Monument Peak Lookout and Thompson Guard Station provide more isolated experiences but have limited amenities with no electric hookups or running water. According to one camper, "The cabin is an historic two story cabin near the Middle Fork of the Judith River.

Most forest service cabins require visitors to bring their own bedding, lighting sources, and cooking supplies. Propane stoves are common in cabins, but guests typically need to bring their own fuel.

Water sources vary by location, with some cabins having hand pumps while others require visitors to bring their own water or collect it from nearby streams that must be treated before use.

    Strawberry Cabin

    Worth the hike for a winter advanture

    Staying at Strawberry lookout cabin in December was a great experience, well worth the 1 mile uphill hike to the cabin.  Our Venturing Crew stayed the night after pulling gear in a sled to the top in light snow.  Everyone had a great time at the cabin.  The cabin has a wood stove and firewood was provided.  Keep the fire small or you will cook in the little cabin, even when its cold outside.  A propane stove was provided but you will need to bring fuel.  The propane lantern was broken, but luckily we took along our own light sources.  Pots, pans, dishes and utensils are available in the cabin.  Plenty of games were in the cabinet to keep everyone entertained.  The cabin has two bunk beds, and a table with chairs.  Water is not available so you will need to bring it with you.  A vault toilet is next to the cabin.  Outside has a picnic table next to a fire ring.  Plenty of room if your group is to big for the cabin to set up tents.

    Ibex Cabin

    Great view, nice open space, good sized cabin

    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!

    Miller Cabin

    How Rugged Are You?

    There are a lot of cabin rentals in western Montana. This is one of the easier ones to access. That being said, DO NOT attempt it in a car. You need HIGH CLEARANCE. And forget about winter months unless you intend to snowmobile or snowshoe in.

    Facilities are rudimentary, and in the summer months, there’s a huge fly problem. Bring everything, including propane cylinders.

    But for the price, it’s a fun excursion, even if you end up deciding to sleep in the SUV. I did, and didn’t regret it one bit.

    Battle Ridge Cabin

    Perfect cabin

    LOVED this cabin. It was very accessible, with an easy road. You can drive right up to the cabin. There are two wood stoves, one in the sleeping area with two bunks. It got VERY toasty in there with the fire going (but with two adults and two large dogs shoved all on one bed together, what can you expect?) there was plenty of wood, the fire pit was perfect, and the area beautiful. 10/10

    Kim's Marina & RV Resort

    1 Star – This Ain’t a Resort, It’s a Biohazard Zone With Wi-Fi

    If you’ve ever wondered what it’d be like to vacation in a post-apocalyptic landfill run by people who watched Green Acres and said,“Hold my beer,” then Kim’s Marina& RV Resort is the place for you.

    We pulled in at 1:30PM—our assigned site already occupied by another camper who kindly apologized. The staff, however, offered nothing. No sorry, no heads-up, no water, no shade. Just a“shrug emoji” in human form. Their own check-in pamphlet said checkout was at 2PM—so why hand us a site that still had a family fully plugged in and grilling hot dogs?

    Meanwhile, my 76-year-old mother (who confirmed the day before that her cabin would be ready at 1:30) was treated like a burden every time she asked if her room was ready. FIVE times she asked. They didn’t even start cleaning it until 2:40. It was 100 degrees. She waited in that heat like a forgotten prop in a bad country western, and when they finally let her in, the bed was bare and they told her,“Oh—you still need bedding.” Like it was a lemonade stand, not a paid rental cabin.

    The grounds? Picture a campground that moonlights as a junkyard. Dog poop was everywhere. It was like a minefield from the moment you stepped out of your camper to the joke they call a“beach.” And the dogs? Off-leash, wild, and no one batted an eye.

    The plumbing situation? Grab your hazmat suit. The water spigots looked like they were salvaged from a scrapyard, half-stripped, leaking like crazy, and—you guessed it—pooling water under the electric hookups. One sewer cap shot off like a geyser when I touched it. I wouldn’t wash a lawnmower with this setup, let alone plug in my rig.

    The roads were a combo of gravel, pothole dirt, and vague paved patches—but folks sped through it like NASCAR tryouts. No speed limit signs. No enforcement. Just kids on bikes diving for cover.

    The “beach” for kids? There were broken signs with rusted nails still sticking out of them. Nothing says “family memories” like a tetanus shot.

    Bathrooms? Closed when we arrived. When they did open, it smelled like something had crawled into the plumbing and lost its will to live. Didn’t even risk a shower—especially since you have to PAY for one on top of your already steep site fee. Pay to shower in your own stink? Pass.

    Now let’s talk about the nightmare fuel they call a laundry room. Clean and dirty laundry were stacked everywhere like someone gave up mid-fold. It looked like a middle school lost-and-found exploded. Vomit in the utility sink. I wish I was kidding. ONE washer worked, and TWO dryers were broken. Not that it mattered—the pile of abandoned linens made it impossible to find space anyway.

    Oh, and the staff? If the dress code was“backwoods buffet with a side of resentment,” they nailed it. Rude, grunting, eye-rolling, dismissive. One guy looked like he’d used his shirt as a napkin from breakfast through dinner and capped it off with ripped jean shorts straight outta 1987. Customer service was nonexistent, but judgment? Flowing like that busted water spigot.

    Trash? Overflowed all weekend. Piled up 15 feet high and smelled like the opening scene of a horror movie. At night, I wasn’t sure if I heard raccoons or zombies.

    We booked 5 nights. We stayed 5 nights. But if we didn’t have family with us, we would’ve packed up and peeled out of there after night one.

    Bottom line: Kim’s is not a“resort.” It’s a rotting relic held together by duct tape, fumes, and apathy. The only thing elite here is how fast you’ll want to burn your shoes when you leave.

    Never again. Not if it was free. Not if you paid me. Absolute disgrace.

    Eagle Guard Station

    Eagle Guard Station & Crow Creek Campground

    A long rough drive, very rocky, narrow roads to site but definitely worth the making! Secluded and serene campsites along Crow Creek with Fishing, there are no bathrooms, dry would fall for firewood, no fountains or water this must be packed in as well, closest store is in Townsend, pests are minimal, mainly mosquitos, lots of sage to burn to keep them away. Shaded grass areas with rock fire pits for camp, everything you want in a camp site with trails and hiking to Eagle Guard Station or Crow Creek Falls!

    Camp Rotary

    Great for winter camping

    I camp here with Boy Scouts since the place is often reserved for youth organizations. In the winter it can be fun but to climb some hills. Each campground has cabins which hold about 11 people and tent spaces out side. The cabin do have semi-decent heating, but not AC. The bathrooms are really big and well developed (and super warm for the winter). There is also a big “roof building” with picknick tables to eat food.


Guide to White Sulphur Springs

Cabin camping near White Sulphur Springs, Montana presents options in the Little Belt Mountains region where elevations range from 5,000 to 8,500 feet. Forest Service cabins in this area typically operate on propane lighting or require campers to bring lanterns, with road access varying significantly by season. Winter access to most cabins requires snowmobiles or cross-country skis from December through April.

What to do

Hiking access: Miller Cabin serves as a convenient base for accessing nearby trail systems. "This forest service cabin is a perfect place to disappear for a few days. It's the perfect amount of rustic, while maintaining the creature comforts of a cabin," notes visitor Alex K. about Miller Cabin.

Winter recreation: Kings Hill area provides immediate access to winter sports from cabin accommodations. "I stayed at Kings Hill Cabin (available on recreation.gov) it's right by the highway so it's accessible year-round and it's a perfect winter wonderland. The area is near Showdown Ski Bowl with tons to do!" explains Lindsay B. about Kings Hill Cabin.

Youth organization camping: Camp Rotary accommodates larger groups with heated facilities for winter excursions. Sterling C. reports, "I camp here with Boy Scouts since the place is often reserved for youth organizations. In the winter it can be fun but to climb some hills. Each campground has cabins which hold about 11 people and tent spaces outside. The cabin do have semi-decent heating, but not AC."

What campers like

Clean facilities: Canyon Ferry Lake KOA maintains high standards for their bathroom facilities. "Cleanest and nicest bathrooms I've seen in a long time!! We stayed in tent spaces which they were working to update with water and electricity, both of which worked for us!" writes Betsy T. about Canyon Ferry Lake KOA.

Privacy options: Moose Creek offers secluded camping with creek access. David T. notes, "There was no sign for this campsite on the highway. I just pulled off the highway where it said access to National Forest, and it appeared fairly close to the highway. There were only half a dozen sites or so, and no amenities. And of course, no cost."

Scenic settings: Monument Peak Lookout provides panoramic views following initial cleanup. According to Lindsay B., "Reserve this lookout on Recreation.gov for an amazing trip. The only downside is that this place is FULLLLL of dead flies when you get there. Mentally prepare yourself. Bring 100% of your own bedding to not sleep on dead flies. But once it's cleaned out its an amazing experience."

What you should know

Access challenges: High clearance vehicles are required for some cabin roads. "There are a lot of cabin rentals in western Montana. This is one of the easier ones to access. That being said, DO NOT attempt it in a car. You need HIGH CLEARANCE. And forget about winter months unless you intend to snowmobile or snowshoe in," warns Michael S. about Miller Cabin.

Seasonal considerations: Many cabins have significant fly problems during summer months. One visitor recommends bringing all your own bedding to avoid uncomfortable situations upon arrival.

Reservation requirements: Most Forest Service cabins require advance reservations through Recreation.gov, with weekends booking 3-6 months in advance during peak season.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Canyon Ferry offers kid-friendly amenities. "Great Playground, close to tent sites. Nice staff and great coffee and beautiful setting!" says Desiree D. about their experience at the KOA.

Highway proximity concerns: Safety considerations exist for cabins near roadways. "Close to highway, so there's road noise but creek and cliffs make it relaxing to sit outside. (Families with small children beware of Proximity to highway)," cautions K B. about Rillway Cabin.

Winter cabin options: Heated cabins provide comfortable winter accommodations for families. "The bathrooms are really big and well developed (and super warm for the winter). There is also a big 'roof building' with picknick tables to eat food," notes Sterling C. about Camp Rotary.

Tips from RVers

Supply availability: KOA stores stock rotating food items. "Found the store stocked with some pretty good food that rotates weekly. Clean and well maintained bathrooms and campsite," reports Madison T. about Canyon Ferry Lake KOA.

Tent site improvements: Some campgrounds are upgrading tent sites with utilities. Betsy T. mentions, "We stayed in tent spaces which they were working to update with water and electricity, both of which worked for us! A storm came through and it was windy for a bit, but besides that beautiful skies and great weather."

Weather preparation: Wind exposure affects campgrounds near water bodies. Prepare for occasional storms with proper tent staking and rain covers when camping at lakeside locations.
