Remote Man Camp / Workforce Housing
Philipsburg is a mining town reborn on tourism, with a ski area, a ranch resort, and ghost towns nearby, and projects there need a camp more than a motel. A remote workforce housing camp leads our Philipsburg rentals.

Philipsburg sits at 5,233 feet on Montana Highway 1, and wildfire, heavy snow, and long outages can isolate a county seat of 841. Crews that respond need a remote basecamp, sleepers, and showers set close to the work.
24/7 Emergency Remote Man Camp Basecamp leasing in Philipsburg provides sleepers, showers, laundry, and restroom trailers on generator power.
Major History: Mines, Sawmills, and Sapphires
Philip Deidesheimer designed and supervised the ore smelter around which the town formed and platted the site in 1867. Local mines and sawmills closed in the 1980s, leaving the town's future uncertain, and in the 1990s sapphire hunting companies joined art galleries and candy and jewelry stores as newcomers restored the historic buildings. The county has more than 24 ghost towns from mining and timber. Restoration, ranch, and highway contractors rent sleepers, combos, and laundry near the work.

Renovation: The Jail, the Sayrs Building, and the Broadway Hotel
The Granite County Jail (1896), the Sayrs Building (1888), the Broadway Hotel, reopened in 2003, and the Granite County Museum in the historic Courtney Hotel are among the restored landmarks. Historic buildings renovate in stages, and a restroom trailer or a mobile kitchen trailer for lease in Philipsburg keeps a restoration site working.
Emergency Equipment Access in Philipsburg
Montana Highway 1 runs through Philipsburg, and Granite Ghost Town State Park lies nearby. Mountain grades and winter snow shape delivery, so we carry chains and confirm conditions. These are public routes; our deliveries are scheduled around current conditions.
Ski, Ranch Resort, and Ghost-Town Visitors
The Ranch at Rock Creek is the county's largest private employer, Discovery Basin Ski Area is another major employer, and the Philipsburg Brewing Company opened in 2012. Visitors and events need restroom trailers, showers, and refrigerated trailers for rent in Philipsburg.
Philipsburg Weather and Site Planning
Philipsburg has long, snowy winters and short, mild summers at elevation. Winter sites need heat, tie-downs, and plowed access, and summer sites need fire awareness. A Remote Workforce Housing Shower Laundry Bunkbed Sleeper trailer in Philipsburg setup for crews can share water and wastewater.
Rental Options and Prices for Philipsburg
Our 20ft accommodation units start at an estimated $2,995 for 1 to 6 days and $2,195 to $2,495 per unit for rentals of three months or more.

Water tank trailers, greywater bladders, and generators serve sites with no utilities.
What Philipsburg Projects Need, Season by Season

Planning a Trailer Site in Philipsburg
Send us the address, dates, crew size, and a photo of the pad. For a high-country site we confirm road access, power, and heat before delivery. Our Portland, Oregon hub delivers into Montana on request, and delivery is listed separately on the written quote. A written quote lists each unit and the delivery and setup.
Short-Term and Long-Term Leasing in Philipsburg
Most Philipsburg customers start with a week or a month and extend as the work runs. Longer terms are cheaper per unit: a 20ft accommodation unit is an estimated $2,995 for 1 to 6 days and an estimated $2,195 to $2,495 for three months or more. If your Granite County project slips, tell us and we adjust the lease rather than pulling units. Delivery, setup, and pickup are quoted on their own line.
Permits and Site Considerations in Philipsburg
Temporary trailers in Philipsburg may need review by the town or Granite County. Historic buildings may have placement rules, and sites on national forest land involve the managing agency. We help you identify what your site needs before delivery.
Delivery, Setup, and Pickup in Philipsburg
Our crew plans each Philipsburg delivery around Montana Highway 1. Plan on about an hour to set most units, about five hours for a kitchen or dish trailer, 5 to 15 minutes for stairs, and four to six hours for ramps. You get one schedule covering delivery, setup, servicing, and pickup in Granite County. Worth knowing: mountain grades and winter snow can change timing, so we carry chains and confirm conditions.
Power, Water, and Wastewater Planning in Philipsburg
Tell us what is on site in Philipsburg and we match the plan to it. Shower containers need 120V/240V at 200 amps, laundry trailers 240V single phase at 200 amps, kitchens 220V single phase at 200 to 220 amps, and refrigerated trailers 220V at 40 to 60 amps. Where there are no hookups, generator trailers, water tanks, and greywater bladders with scheduled pump-outs make the camp self-sufficient.
A Town Rebuilt by Newcomers
After the mines and sawmills closed in the 1980s, Philipsburg looked unlikely to survive, but in the 1990s newcomers opened sapphire shops, art galleries, and candy and jewelry stores, and restored the historic buildings. A town that has been restored by hand is cautious about changes to its streetscape. We place temporary camps and event units out of the sightlines of the historic blocks, and on gravel or matting, so that nothing is left behind.
Twenty-Four Ghost Towns
Granite County has more than 24 ghost towns from the mining and timber eras, and Granite Ghost Town State Park is nearby. Preservation and stabilization crews work on those sites in the short summer season. A camp in Philipsburg serves them without adding to the pressure on the historic sites themselves. Sleepers, showers, and a kitchen on a pad near town give a crew a base within an easy drive.
Scenario: A Historic Stabilization Crew
Imagine a preservation crew of 12 working a short summer season on historic structures near town. Six bunk bed sleepers, a combination shower and restroom, and a mobile kitchen on a level pad outside the historic blocks, served weekly, would give the crew a base. That is the remote workforce housing lease in Philipsburg we can plan from your headcount.
