Amazing place. My daughter and I stayed for a couple nights. Didn't see any mice. We did clean up a half dozen dried up slamanders that didn't fair so well once they snuck in. Oh, and it's seed bug season, so lots of those. Fun little side quest though lol. You feel like you're out there all by yourself because of how the cabin is situated. I only saw a couple of folks wander by all weekend. TONS of firewood and plenty of gas for the built in lanterns. Water was still on when we were there. Check with the ranger station to see. Gets pretty dark in there even with the lanterns lit, so bring lighting. Mattresses are just camp pads, so I doubled them up and slept pretty good. Will stay again.

Keep your options open

Watch for a matching campsite across monitored campgrounds in Bitterroot National Forest.

Popularity: Quiet

Busiest in November, when about 25% of guest capacity is reserved. Based on 5 years of reservations.
