If you have time, and want to get up to the North end of the state,
there is the road to the sun highway at Glacier Nat. Park.
Also, just across the border, is Waterton Nt Pk. in Canada.

Hi Randy,
I left Bozeman a little over five years ago so I am not too up on the places 
to eat.  One thing I can suggest is to not be fooled by the front of the 
building.  Many people who move up to Montana bring their culinary talents 
but want a more low key life.  I have gotten some of the finest meals, and 
wines in Montana, and I enjoy meals.
For places to see, it is a very big state.  I would recommend that you take 
the Bear Tooth Highway.  You will never forget the views and it drops into 
one of the nicest towns in Montana.
Camping at a sight with a plug in, not too sure on that one.  All of the 
camping I did was on public land.  As you drive down the road you will see 
brown signs with a fish and hook on them.  Those are places where you can 
fish and camp.  Then there are just camp sights.  If it is a real busy night 
there might be two other groups.
Bring lots of film and watch your speed at night.  Vanagons do not have the 
best lighting.  When you combine that with long roads with no lighting and 
wandering animals.  I am sure you see the point.  Also remember that it can 
be still quite cold there in June at night.
Enjoy
Scot
