A small family farm working toward sustainability. Easy to access from I-90, drive in camping for a stop overnight or a home base while you explore the many attractions nearby. Learn more about this land: We are 20 miles east of Missoula, MT near the Kettlehouse Ampitheater in Bonner. Our location is halfway between Yellowstone and Glacier National Park. There are mountain bike paths, river access points for paddling, rafting or fishing within minutes of our land. We can even help you know where to go. Our land is surrounded by Nature Conservancy land with a public recreation easement, so you can hike and take your horse for a ride very easily, just let us know and we will point you in the right direction. Our child had a significant medical emergency that required a lot of travel to Seattle Children's and 3 brain surgeries all year, so we don't have the active garden going this year, but the chickens and sheep are happy. In a vehicle, you can pull into one of our pastures for your stay. Where you are depends on which field the sheep are eating! Tents also work in the field. We do not have any hookups. The fields are that - pasture fields. There are quiet neighbors across the fence. We are happy to offer advice about local attractions via messaging. This is pack it in, pack it out During the pandemic we ask that you wear a face covering if you have a reason to talk with us, even across the fence out of an abundance of caution since most of you are traveling from out of state. Tours are also temporarily suspended.

Site 2 in Open Pasture Field

Camping with livestock!

Me and my roommate stopped here on a roadtrip, showed up late but the directions were beautifully written. They were kind, and had a nice place. It was affordable and a soft place to land for the night. Right off of an interstate but far enough away to not be too noisy. The train did go by a few times and blew the horn but i sleep hard. We had some livestock with us and they were very kind about letting us get them out and graze them. The pasture was plenty big enough to fit the truck and trailer. We just had to get it turned around. We were able to fill up waters for the animals as well.

Site 1 empty pasture near sheep

Site 1 - empty pasture near Bonner,

Our host Lisa was very easy to communicate with, and the directions to our site were easy to follow. We stopped by prior to heading up to Kettlehouse theater, and coming back in the dark after midnight was a breeze. As noted in the hipcamp description, this is a relatively inexpensive dry-camp campsite in a small irrigated pasture with no amenities. Adjoining neighbor's property when you first roll in is extremely untidy and a bit shocking. Also, if you are camping in a tent or soft-sided camper you will continuously hear I-90 rumble by. Overall it worked for us for a very short one-night stay, and we were grateful to have a place to return to late at night.

Excellent communication and a safe place to stay as a solo female traveler just passing through! I couldn’t stay for long since I had work in the morning, but I’d love to come back if I’m in the area again.

Great for Trailers, not tents

We arrived late so this could be our fault, but the listing included this text: For others, a walk in remote woodland camping experience with complete solitude after check in. We were tent campers and the host never asked what type of campers we were so our only instructions by text were to camp in the appropriate pasture. Which unfortunately wasn’t really mowed and was right off the road. If you are a trailer or camper, I’d highly recommend this. It would have been perfect. For tent campers I can’t say the same. However for the price you can’t beat it’s location.
