ABOUT CAMP:

The retreat sits on 6 acres nestled against the beautiful Bitterroot National Forest in western Montana. Designed as a rustic Montana experience with a homestead flare, owners Lynda Cheldelin Fell and her husband Jamie decided it was too pretty to keep to themselves.



Named after Jamie's paternal family estate in England, Oxen-Le-Fields is a work in progress. Purchased in 2023, it started with a cozy cabin with magnificent views flanked by the national forest. In the summer of 2024, Jamie erected two 12 x 14 cabin tents, both with a stunning view of Sula Peak.



Jamie & Lynda live on site in the toy hauler/camper. Lynda’s father, a retired engineer, designed the family lodge with plans to break ground in 2027.



Parents of four and grandparents of two, Lynda is an accomplished grief and trauma educator, and author of over 40 books including the award-winning Grief Diaries anthology series. Jamie suffered a major stroke at the young age of 46, forcing him to retire from an accomplished career in commercial development.



With a love for camping coupled with Jamie's construction background, they set their hearts on creating a small homestead camp so others can experience what they enjoy every day . . . fresh air, lots of sunshine, abundant wildlife, a night sky filled with bright stars, and a relaxed way of life.



In the short time since opening in fall 2024, campers from around the world have stayed at Oxen-Le-Fields Montana, including Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, England, Sri Lanka, France, Australia, Singapore, China, Germany, Romania, Slovakia, Poland, India, Canada, Japan, Czech Republic, Belarus, Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico.
