Check in to a campground near Manhattan for outdoor escapes to Montana’s Gallatin Gateway.
Though it shares a name with a big city, camping near Manhattan, Montana is full of small-town charm and rustic outdoor surroundings. Wake up to views of majestic Sacagawea Peak before hiking to Fairy Lake from a dog-friendly campground in town that also provides access to on-site laundry facilities, showers, and wifi. South of Manhattan, canyon hiking trails and snow-skiing paths wind through the Gallatin Gateway, which spans for 12 miles through Montana’s open terrain. Check in to a private glampsite in the Gallatin Gateway that offers ice-cream socials, fly-fishing in the Gallatin River, and long soaks in on-site hot springs. Or find more modern campsites with coin-operated laundries, picnic tables, and full hookups for RVs. For camping near biking trails and guided spelunking tours of record-setting limestone caverns, head to Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park.
