Practices

Bear Creek Farm & Ranch prioritizes sustainable outdoor experiences through dispersed-style camping in pasture fields. The property emphasizes low-impact practices, including a strict ‘pack it in, pack it out’ policy to preserve the environment. Quiet neighbors and a public recreation easement with the Nature Conservancy allow guests to explore hiking trails and nearby natural areas responsibly. No hookups are available, encouraging self-sufficient camping with potable water access and fire ring amenities.

Offerings

The farm offers camping in two pasture fields, suitable for tents and vehicles. Dispersed-style camping is recommended in the lower field on the right, with clear guidelines to avoid irrigation lines marked by cones. Guests can enjoy nearby outdoor activities like mountain biking, fishing, and paddling, with the host providing advice on local attractions via messaging. No electrical or water hookups are provided, aligning with the rustic, self-reliant camping experience.

Visiting

Located 20 miles east of Missoula, MT, Bear Creek Farm & Ranch is halfway between Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. The site is accessible via I-90 and features proximity to mountain bike paths, river access points, and the Kettlehouse Ampitheater. The property’s surrounding Nature Conservancy land allows hiking with prior notification to the host. Guests are advised to respect irrigation line boundaries and maintain consideration for other campers.

How to Buy

As a listing on Field & Cattle, Bear Creek Farm & Ranch connects buyers with local outdoor experiences rather than agricultural products. Guests book camping stays directly through platforms like Hipcamp, with the host offering guidance on local activities and environmental stewardship during their visit.
