Glamping Montana: Sleep Under The Stars

Voted the #1 Glamping Destination in The Zoe Report’s 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards

In Paws Up’s stylish, climate-controlled canvas tents, “roughing it” feels like anything but. Open seasonally from mid-May through mid-October, each of the six unique camps—set along the Blackfoot River or on scenic bluffs—offer tents featuring Western-chic furnishings, king-size feather beds, ensuite bathrooms with rain showers and heated floors, and private decks. Every camp has its own Dining Pavilion, dedicated chef, and the attentive care of a Camp Butler.

Sample Itinerary

Day 1

Arrive at Missoula International Airport and enjoy complimentary transportation to Paws Up.

Check in to your luxury tent, featuring a king-size bed, an ensuite bathroom with heated floors, and more.

Enjoy dinner at the Dining Pavilion, where your camp chef prepares entrées such as sea bass or grilled rib eye with baked sweet potatoes and chocolate lava cake for dessert.

After dinner, gather around the fire while your butler tends it and serves a delectable plate of specialty s’mores.

Day 2

Wake to the peaceful Montana morning outside your tent and enjoy coffee delivered by your Camp Butler before strolling to the Dining Pavilion for breakfast.

Head to Paws Up’s Wilderness Outpost for a day of adventure, from horseback riding and cattle drives to rafting, fly-fishing, or mountain biking.

Return midday for lunch at Trough, Shed, or Tank, then spend the afternoon your way — a scenic float, guided hike, kayaking, or simply relax back at camp.

In the evening, savor an open-air feast at Chuck Wagon featuring Montana favorites like Tomahawk steak and warm fruit cobbler, then shuttle back to camp for a night under the stars.

Day 3

Energize your morning with a quick lift or Peloton ride at Huff & Puff, then head back to the Camp Dining Pavilion for a freshly served breakfast by your Camp Butler.

Immerse yourself in the Montana wilderness with an activity of your choice—mountain biking through meadows and forested hills, adventurous rock rappelling, or sporting clays, to name a few.

Stroll over to Shed for lunch, where you can dine al fresco and enjoy smoked delights in a relaxed Montana setting.

The afternoon is yours to continue adventuring or unwind with a massage at Spa Town, or quiet time back at camp on your private deck or by the river.

Dinner this evening returns to the Dining Pavilion, followed by fireside s’mores and stargazing beneath the Big Sky.

Children playing and walking around a creek in the summertime.

Day 4

Savor one last peaceful Montana morning with breakfast at the Dining Pavilion. Don’t forget to try the huckleberry pancakes — because no Montana goodbye is complete without them.

After breakfast, pack up and check out, with your luggage securely stored while you head out for one final adventure — perhaps a scenic trail ride, ATV tour, or archery lesson.

After your activity, enjoy lunch at Trough before complimentary transportation takes you to Missoula International Airport.
