Outdoor Adventures

The Rambling Moose Campground is a perfect base camp for all of your outdoor adventures whether you are fishing, hiking, or mountain biking.

When visiting Virginia City, don't forget to take the short hike up to Boot Hill to explore the old cemetery or hike up Alder Gulch. Take the train a quick mile to the west to tour the old town of Nevada City and experience living history in action.

 

Bring your ATV and head up into the surrounding mountains for miles of off-road adventures. ATV”S are allowed in town if they are street legal.

Virginia City and Nevada City

The "living ghost town" of Virginia City is a well-preserved Old West Victorian gold mining town located only 60 miles from West Yellowstone on the Vigilante Trail and 1/2 mile from our campground. There is something for everyone to do in town. The whole family can enjoy a tour on the Alder Gulch Shortline Railroad, antique Fire Truck, or an old fashioned stagecoach.

Want to really experience 'gold fever', then spend some time panning for gold. We sell the panning supplies you need in our gift shop. How about a night of fun enjoying the shows at either the Brewery Follies Cabaret or the Illustrious Virginia City Players. Don't forget to enjoy one of the great restaurants before the show or relax in one of our historic bars after the show.

If you want to experience chills with a fun-filled adventure, take a walking ghost tour in the evening.

Shopping more of your speed? Browse the fun shops throughout town while you are touring the authentic homes and businesses that were left behind after the gold rush.

Don't forget to check with the Virginia City Chamber of Commerce for the listing of special events and festivals held all year long!
