Oxen-Le-Fields Montana offers 6 sunny acres surrounded by national forest, a cozy cabin and 2 wall tents for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy.

TENT CONTENTS:
* King bed with full linen, pillows, electric blanket and sherpa bedding
* Two cushioned patio chairs
* Woodstove with free firewood, kindling and matches
* Two lamps
* Power strip for electronics
* Two plates, bowls, mugs, and silverware
* Water kettle, cast-iron pan, oil for cast-iron pan, and cooking utensils
WEATHER:
Nestled between the Bitterroot and Sapphire Mountains, the picturesque valley is known as the Banana Belt of Montana, however it's still Montana and inclement weather can happen anytime. Please observe weather reports and road conditions before traveling.
FRESH WATER:
The Bitterroot River provides potable water for campers. A water spigot is located behind the tan shed, along with a wash bin, soap and sponge.
BATHROOM:
A flushing toilet and cold-water sink are located inside the tan shed marked "Wild Wild West" over the door.
COOKING:
Guests are welcome to cook on their tent's woodstove. There's also a propane BBQ next to the picnic table for use.
WOODSTOVE:
The woodstove is the tent's source of heat, and does a magnificent job. Free firewood, kindling and matches are provided.
FIREPIT:
Toss wood into the firepit located near the picnic table and enjoy a contained fire any time burning is allowed (per county burn rules).
FOREST:
Oxen-Le-Fields Montana offers direct access to the Bitterroot Forest. Follow the trail at the back left corner of the property behind tent #1 to access miles of forest service roads.
PETS:
Your pets are welcome. While pets love to sleep on the bed, the sherpa bedding is prone to holes from even well-groomed pet claws. Please use the pet sheet provided to protect the bedding (and your pocketbook) if your pup likes to snuggle with you. Please keep pets on a lead to prevent them from disturbing other pets and campers.
HORSES:
Pack and trail horses are welcome though no fence is available. Please secure horses to your vehicle or trailer when not riding and secure inside trailer at night. Water is available. Please bring own hay and feed.
WILDLIFE:
Deer, elk, bighorn sheep, marmots, and coyotes are abundant. Bear, moose, wolves, and cougars also share the forest. Please respect the wildlife and understand the inherent dangers they pose. Bear spray is highly recommended when exploring the forest.
THE VIEW:
Why are there downed trees in the forest? On July 31, 2000, dry lightning strikes started approximately 100 fires that decimated over 350,000 acres of the Bitterroot Forest. The fire destroyed 70 homes, 170 other buildings, and 95 vehicles. Although the naked hillsides now offer a remarkable view as far as the eye can see, the devastation from that summer will remain visible for decades to come.
NEARBY RESTAURANTS:
Just one mile north of camp is The Rocky Knob. Enjoy the colorful history and hearty portions of truly good food at this historic gem. Seating options include the family-friendly bar on the right or the quieter side on the left.
Seven miles north at the Conner Cutoff is Two Rivers Bar that offers outdoor seating in summer.
Darby, 13 miles north, features the Sapphire restaurant, Sawmill Saloon, and the 406.
HUNTING:
Oxen-Le-Fields is located in district 270 next to districts 240, 250, and 321.
FISHING:
Blue-ribbon trout are abundant in both the Bitterroot and Big Hole rivers. Bitterroot fishing access is available all along the Hwy 93 corridor. A community fishing pier is less than a mile south. Access to Big Hole is just a short drive away. Four miles north of Darby lies Lake Como where fishing, swimming, and other water activities are enjoyed by all who visit.
HOT SPRINGS:
Enjoy a soak at Lost Trails Hot Springs just 8 miles south. Price is $10 for a soak and shower.
SKIING:
A short 16 miles to the south sits Lost Trail Ski Resort, home to 69 runs. Sitting atop the Continental Divide on Highway 93 where Montana and Idaho meet, Lost Trail boasts over 300 inches of snowfall every year for enthusiasts to enjoy.
GUEST ACCESS:
Guests are welcome to enjoy all parts of Oxen-Le-Fields except for the blue workshop. Please respect other campers' personal property as you enjoy the views and wildlife.
REFUNDS:
We are happily located in nature and while we work hard to ensure nature stays out-side, please be prepared for the possibility of nature sneaking inside. We don’t refund for bugs or critters but if you should see some during your stay, simply contact us immediately and we will come take care of things for you as best we can.
We want your stay to be comfortable and memorable yet given the unpredictability of Montana weather, we don't refund for weather events that impact travel, cause power outages or evacuations due to wildfires. These are things that impact us all and are simply beyond our control.
DRIVEWAY:
The 1/2 mile driveway up the hill includes 3 switchbacks. The driveway can get muddy after a good rain or snow but is easily accessible in most vehicles.
The switchbacks can accommodate horse trailers and campers up to 35 feet in length.

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
This was our first time "glamping". Having both grown up tenting it (or worse), we were prepared to rough it. Not the case! Super sweet hostess, the accomodations were roomy with a bed to die for. Although we didn't use the stove for more than heat and morning coffee, everything you could cook a meal easily with the implements made available. The views are breathtaking. We will be back to spend more than just one evening.

The view was breath taking, Lynda was an absolute angel and made my dog and I feel so at home. Such a peaceful and stunning get away! Can’t wait to go back!

I loved staying here, and I'm hoping to be back eventually. The only thing I'd say is that I had a little trouble finding it. Someone had to give me directions.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2025
The location is beautiful, the tent and bed are COZY, and Linda, the owner that I met, was soooo kind, thoughtful, and personable!! Not to mention the hostess ding dongs, chocolates, and fire starters were such a lovely touch. Highly recommend if you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle.
