Camping near Manhattan

·

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. The geological wonders are an hour from Manhattan, and overnight accommodations include campsites with electric hookups, firepits, and access to picnic shelters.

36mi from Manhattan · 7 sites · Tents, RVs · Wineglass, MT
Nestled on 60 acres you'll find a private campground in a cottonwood grove just across a log bridge over Miner creek. Across the gravel driveway you'll find a second campground that is tucked back in a secluded cottonwood grove, and further down the driveway, you'll find the 3rd campsite. The campgrounds are 5 minutes to the charming historic downtown of Livingston and the Yellowstone River, 20 minutes to Bozeman, 20 mins to Pine Creek Lodge and an hour to Yellowstone National Park. Dogs are welcome, as long as they are friendly to other dogs. Our dogs freely roam the property. **All sites share an outhouse located in the parking area by the trail to camp #2. It is only onsite from May 15 to Oct 15. #1: "Creekside Oasis" campsite has a picnic table, fire ring, a hammock, solar lighting, and a small portable charcoal grill. Although you can car camp at # 1, please note that the camper spot is just off the gravel driveway, and not across the creek where the tent site, picnic table and fire pit are located. #2: "Off the Beaten Path" campsite requires a short 1-2 minute walk on a tight, uneven path through the trees. It is a small campsite with a fire ring, 2 camp chairs and solar lighting. Do NOT rent this tent site if you need to be close to your car. This site is not on the creek. Creek access is down a trail to the left off the parking area. #3: "Not for the Faint of Heart" campsite is a 2-3 minute walk from the parking spot on an uneven, tight trail through the trees. It has a fire ring, two camp chairs, solar lighting, and a small portable grill. Do NOT rent this tent site unless you are ready to explore and do not need to be close to your car. Make sure you arrive before dark because although the trail is lit by solar lights even with headlamps it can be tricky to find your way through the trees. Closed-toed shoes are highly recommended. The creek is not right by the tent site like it is in campsite #1. There is a small break in the bushes that gives creek access. *For all sites we recommend storing your food in your vehicle overnight. *For all sites you need to bring your own firewood and charcoal.

Enter campsites at bottom of the hill where Hidden Valley Road takes a sharp right turn. Picnic tables and fire rings are in clear view. Camp along Baxter Creek in Bozeman, enjoy sunrise over the Bridger mountains, sunset over the Spanish Peaks, the sound of a babbling creek, serenity of the countryside complete with grazing cattle, migrant deer and birds of many kinds. Stroll down to creek through grassy access near cabin or cross the bridge to the "wild side". If you have a fishing license, drop a line in for catch and release or just cool your feet in the running water. Creek has been restored for fish habitat by renowned fish habitat designer, Joe Urbani. It is part of Liberty Acres Aquatic Ecosystem, a non-profit established to protect and enhance the wildlife habitat at Liberty Acres. Enjoy hundreds of miles of near-by hiking trails, Blue Ribbon trout fishing, ziplining, adventure rafting on the Gallatin River or a lazy float on the Madison. Or, opt for city life. In just a few minutes you can be in the center of vibrant downtown Bozeman with boutique shopping and an abundance of resturants and craft breweries.
