This ranch was homesteaded in 1896 by a German immigrant, and has been in the family for 120 years. We enjoy sharing that history with anyone who is interested. We have 5 designated drive-in sites along the West Boulder River. Each is separate and well spaced. Only #1 has any close traffic - and that is occasional ranch vehicles.

No finer camping experience
There is no finer Montana camping experience. The best parts? Kent, the stars, the river, the epic landscape, the complete lack of cell coverage.

This spot is lovely—right by the river, green, clean and quiet.

Beautiful River Site!
Such a beautiful spot right by the river! We brought our dogs and they absolutely loved exploring. I usually pick places that feel very remote with no one else around and this was perfect. There was an occasional car that passed by on the main dirt road but you’re tucked away where you really don’t notice. The drive in was gorgeous with mountain views and rolling hills. The signage is a little confusing when it comes to finding the spot but Kent was super helpful when our friend meeting us there got confused. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful spot by a river. Can’t wait to visit again!
