The Base Camp

Message: Wonderful selection of quality, fashionable clothing, shoes, outdoor gear, home decor, and gifts. Great, helpful staff, too. Always an enjoyable shopping and browsing adventure.

Message: Much better quality than the average sporting goods store. The gambler sale can't be beat. If you haven't been there, it's a must.

Message: My husband and I were in the Helena Base Camp looking for a new pair of classic cross-country skis a couple times this year after having purchased skate skis a few years ago with the help of Ray. Once again Ray was extremely knowledgeable. It was impressive that he remembered us from before and our abilities. His ability and willingness to explain the pro and cons of different skiis was very helpful. Even during the end of season sale he was very patient. I wish I remembered the other young male sales associate as he was helpful too. Base Camp has great customer service with knowledgeable employees who are willing to assist or just let you look around. Thank you Base Camp!

Message: Another Helena gem. Located right downtown just off the walking mall. Great place to grab a souvenir or some last minute gear, as they have a little bit of everything for your outdoor adventures.

Message: Best outdoor store I know! Beautiful clothes for women and exciting and different accessories. I could spend hours here!

Message: I needed to get a pair of proper mittens for skiing this year (my gloves just don't cut it for how cold it can get some days at Great Divide). The staff walked me through mitten selection until I found a pair that came with a set of liners that can also have the tops fold back for fine finger dexterity.. These mittens and liners have become a staple in my daily life here in Helena this winter and I couldn't be happier. The store is very clean and well organized and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable without being at all pushy.. If you want to chat and go deep into a topic they'll gladly do it. If you want to browse in quite solitude they'll let you do that as well. Overall a very great store.

Message: Richie and the entire staff here were so extremely helpful, nothing but the best stuff sold here! I really appreciated that Richie took the time to explain the benefits of anything I was looking for and also pointed out other gear that may work better for my needs. Definitely never felt pressured to buy anything in particular, they were most concerned with getting the right stuff. Can't recommend highly enough.

Message: What a great store. I came to look for a Christmas gift and couldn’t decide because there were so many choices. I ended up spending a lot of time looking at all the books they have. Of course there are lots of terrific clothing options. I didn’t realize there was so many accessories and different sections. The layout is very inviting and the staff is all very friendly, despite it being such a busy time of year.
