*if you're bringing small children just reach out because we can possibly accommodate them in the tent. The tests can only house 2 adults though.

Settling into our temporary home.  This porch is perfect for sipping coffee, watching the sun come over the mountains and listening to the creek trickling by. 

Only a short walk from the tents is a small fishing pond, dam & creek (perfect for playing fetch in on a hot Montana summer day). 

Hiking in Helena National Forest is right out the front door, and boating and fishing in the beautiful Canyon Ferry Lake is moments down the road. 

One of the four canvas tents tucked in the trees. 

Rene also has four of the most model-esque goats I've ever seen. 

Each tent has a water jug and sink area, and there's a shared outhouse and propane-run shower between the tents.

Montana Red Devon Ranch

Montana Red Devon Ranch is owned and managed by Jenny Kahrl. Her boys Riley and Kiril were raised on the ranch and often help with cattle, land, and maintenance.
 We have chosen Red Devon cattle for their history (originally from Devonshire England, Devons arrived in North America in 1624!), their docility, and their gourmet beef.
 Our cattle eat only grass, hay, and forages, as Nature intended.
 We manage our land to protect wildlife and clean water for all, to improve soils, preserve open space, and feed hundreds of our neighbors.
 All our grassfed beef is sold within 50 miles of the ranch.

We also have a deep commitment to sharing our love of land and animals with our community, both near and far.
 We have hosted international visitors from France, Russia, Japan, Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and many many Americans.
 Jenny Kahrl speaks French fluently.

We hope to share our love of this land and its riches with many visitors, for it is only by knowing where our food originates that we can appreciate each farm and farm family for their work to feed America and the world.

Looking downhill past a couple of Devon bulls, at the Hay Shed Campsite in the middle distance.

Your view from the Hayshed Campsite.  A stunning July afternoon.

Summer fields.  The Hay Shed camp site is under the cottonwoods in the background.

A winter view of the ranch hayfields, cattle, and the Tobacco Root Mountains.

A brand new Red Devon calf and his proud mother.  Calves arrive mid April to late May each year. 

By October, camping is cooler, big game seasons opens, and our calves have grown!

Our Hay Shed in late winter, still full of hay.  Tobacco Root Mountains behind.

Although our laying hens are quaking in their boots at the arrival of a Bald Eagle, we are always glad that we can share our ranch with ALL species of Montana wildlife.  Apex predators, perennial pastures, and grazing cattle all support each other here.

The Trail Enthusiast's Basecamp!

This five-acre oasis was once a landscape nursery.   So given the close proximity to downtown we are a hidden sanctuary from the outside world, secluded by cottonwood trees and mature foliage. The site now serves as a wedding venue and  offers views of Mount Helena to the South and the Sleeping Giant to the North.

Learn more about this land:

Pitch a tent in our aspen grove or park your camper/RV in the grassland field.
 You're close to downtown
with lots of privacy/scenery.  You'll have views of regal Mount Helena to the South and The Sleeping Giant to the North.  
The South Hill trail complex is a great place to explore as well as the Scratchgravels.  The Missouri River is only 20 minutes away as well as Lake Hauser and Canyon Ferry.
If new to the area and interested in history, we recommend the Tour Train.  We also have several great breweries - our favorites include Ten Mile and Blackfoot Breweries (a perfect stop you can ride to after a trail ride/hike in the South Hills).  
This site is perfect for those wanting to explore Downtown Helena, it's renowned trail systems, but still sleep under the stars.  

Pets are allowed. Please make sure you pick up after them.  There is water throughout the property that you are welcome to use for cleaning, but it is not potable.

Pitch your tent in the trees or park your RV/Camper in the open field.  We have two designated spots in this area, which give each site plenty of space and privacy.

A look inside the Aspen grove.  Several rows of trees and plenty of space to find some solace and privacy.

Another look inside the Aspen grove.  It feels like a tunnel of foliage.

The entire field is only a portion of the entire property.  This section has deer fencing surrounding it - to keep the deer out but also to help you know the camping area.

Farm Land Escape 

Please contact me through here 1-2 days prior to your arrival so I can get your area ready. As there may be one other camper from time to time as well. I want you to have the privacy and the experience as if it was only you and you’re family staying.

This 53 acres use to be owned by a guy named John Helberg which is who the road is named after. It’s the original homestead land dated over 100 years ago where they farmed for there dairy cows and other livestock.

This is right off a dead end road. You will have a view of a Montana farm field with the Rocky Mountains in the background. Dark nights out of the town means the stars will be out and about! This is a quiet secluded area there is a house near by, he is an older gentlemen you won’t even know he’s there.

Depending on time of year there will be a field full of crop or the farm getting farmed. There very well could be some horses near by to pet!! Located 10 minutes from the lakes. 5 minutes from a reservoir. 10 minutes from town. 15 min to closest hiking areas. Helena really is the heart of fun very centralized for all directions of fun! Very easy pull in and pull out area. Please not there may be other campers enjoying as well

Black Sandy State Park and Helena National Park

are both under 15 miles away. Enjoy hiking and

If you’re the boating type, head down the Missouri river in search of a rumored rope swing or jump off the boat for a dip in the crystal waters of Hauser Lake. Looking to avoid all the crowds or enjoy a solitary weekend under the endless Montana sky? Just head to Black Sandy during the winter months! You’ll find the same great stunning views and an ice skating experience that will put your grandparents’ childhood tales to shame.

I do have power 50 amp, fresh water, grey water hook up, no black water. This option may not be available all of the time.
