Winter Camping IN Montana
Montana winters are gnarly, and the freezing temps are no joke. In freezing weather, the water tank and hot water system are for DRY Camping Only, which means there’s no running water. Plan to bring your own water for drinking and cooking, and dress warm. The Otter is a great winter basecamp and has excellent heating and insulation.
