Wall Creek Cabin in MT -- Campground & RV Camping

Wall Creek Cabin sits at 6,150 feet in an open meadow where the Madison River Valley meets the Gravelly Mountains. Built around 1930 as part of an administrative compound, the small single-room log cabin features an enclosed entry room and sleeps up to four on two bunk beds with foam pads. Furnishings include a wood stove, a two-burner propane cooktop, a propane lantern, and basic kitchenware. A vault toilet is 100 feet north, and a small holding corral is available for stock. Guests must supply their own small propane canisters, pack in drinking water, and haul out all trash.
