PHILIPSBURG – It could be argued that sleeping in a king-size bed with a fully plumbed bathroom inside your tent isn't actually camping.

However, for many guests at the Ranch at Rock Creek, that is their first taste of camping.

"They don't have closets but they do have armoires," said Rich Miller, director of facilities at the ranch outside Philipsburg.

Looks like the top is open. What’s to stop a bear from climbing over the top?

“You might want to avoid the Motel 6 in Beech Grove IN”

OMGosh that’s the same town where the video of the two trashy women fighting in Wal-Mart. What’s up with this little town?

not much protection from a hungry bear.

They can always hide in the armoire... or throw the bidet at the Griz... or...

We have a trailer for the same reasons you mention.

And our many trips each year are precisely for sight-seeing. We could not take nearly as many trips if we stayed in hotels. Also, I prefer sleeping in my own bed rather than in one that strangers have used.

I fish Rock Creek occasionally, the Salmon Fly hatch is going on there now. Rock Creek Ranch sets in a beautiful location.

I have floated the Blackfoot River past the glamping tents at Paws Up several times. Another beautiful location.

These facilities are for the wealthy and in no way reflect what most campers in Montana experience. I sleep in a tent or my truck with a pee bottle and my .44 mag. Works for me.
