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.

RecommendationsThe Otter is perfect for exploring national parks near Bozeman, including Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. She will get you safely and soundly to any ski area and be a trusted cozy spot to sleep after soaking in the local hot springs.
Please note: Although the Otter has heavy-duty off-road tires and 4-wheel drive, it is not allowed to use in off-road situations. She is great on well-established and maintained dirt roads but any use on more primitive double-track or 4x roads is prohibited.

I was born and raised in Montana and love nothing more than exploring the beautiful nature we are so blessed to have here! A translator by trade, I spend much of my time in Vienna, Austria and am happy to share the Otter with others whenever I am off gallivanting in other ways. The Otter is a little ecocosm of joy and wonder and I am certain you will love her as much as I do!
