About This Location

Step back in time at the historic 1908 Bull River Guard Station in Montana. Enjoy primitive year-round camping and cabin rentals near the scenic Bull River.

Steeped in history, the Bull River Guard Station offers a unique opportunity to stay in a structure that served as a primary ranger station beginning in 1908. Having survived the legendary fires of 1910, this site provides a tangible connection to the past, nestled within the beautiful landscape of the Rocky Mountains. The setting is ideal for those looking to immerse themselves in nature, with easy access to the 24.7-mile Bull River for fishing and nearby trails for hiking.

This is a primitive, federal site managed by the USFS, making it perfect for campers who value a rustic, off-grid experience. The facility includes vault toilets and offers both cabin rentals and space for RV camping. Because it is a primitive site, there are no hookups available, and visitors should be prepared for varying road conditions, especially during the winter months when access may be limited to within one mile of the station.
