Campground details
Setting
Built in 1907, Moose Creek Cabin is a historic Forest Service structure set in a grassy clearing surrounded by conifer forest near Tenmile Creek. Located west of Helena, the two-bedroom cabin sleeps up to four guests with a queen bed and two twins. Indoor amenities include electric lighting, a wood fireplace for heat, and a kitchen with a table, chairs, cookware, and a propane stove. Outside, guests have access to a vault toilet, picnic table, and campfire ring. No water is available on site. Nearby trails connect to the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail.
Getting there: From Helena, take U.S. Highway 12, and travel west for 7 miles to Rimini county road. From this intersection, take Rimini Road to the south approximately 4 miles to the cabin. It is located on the east side of the road just past the entrance to Moose Creek Campground. Parking is available to the north of the cabin. A footbridge across Moose Creek provides access from the parking area to the cabin. Vehicles are not allowed within the fenced area. Please make sure you park well off the road.
