Where to stay in Terry

Terry has a 1902 hotel, RV sites with full hookups and riverside camping, so you can stay the night instead of driving on to the next chain motel.

Before you book

  • Book early for the busy weekends. Terry has only a handful of places to stay, and fair week, Bucking Horse Sale weekend and hunting season fill them.
  • Arriving late? Call ahead so someone knows to expect you.
  • Everything full? Miles City and Glendive, each about 40 minutes away, have chain motels.
