This property is so beautiful and peaceful no lights out here at night, just moonlight when it's out. Spring fed pond, Ponderosa pine trees, fallen white birch, rustic and gorgeous. Some of my camp spots are on rough terrain. I always suggest you get out and walk around to see what you can manage with your vehicle. The idea of my place is more wilderness camping, there is wildlife that comes around. RV camp spots on the east and west end of the pond. Camp spot out by the wooden round pen on the west side. Learn more about this land: Completely private, borders 2000 acres of a bird sanctuary. Two blocks from Bitterroot river canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swim, trails, hiking, scenery, wildlife. Spring fed pond on property for fishing, swimming and adventures. My pond is spring fed, which means that is goes up and down with the seasons and run off from the snow in the mountains. So as the summer goes on the pond levels go way down, please be aware of that.

There is also a one lane bridge right before you get to the property. Firewood is available for use at no charge.  Sewer hookup has not been run to the site yet but if you have a portable tank, or want to pull the camper over to the house, it can be dumped as needed beside the garage; just ask and I can show you where the pipe is.  There is a nema 14-50 hookup providing 50 amp power at the site; if needed I do have a 50 to 30 amp adapter you can borrow during your stay.  Water hookup is also available at the site, but may be limited in freezing weather.  If temperatures are to cold we can turn on the water to fill your tank as needed and then blow the line back out.  If you need to borrow a potable water hose let me know as i keep those in the garage unless needed.  There is a non-potable water hose that is available at the site, with a spray nozzle, incase you need to rinse or wash off gear, vehicles, etc.   SpaceX Starlink high speed internet is available via WiFi. You can also charge your electric vehicle, if needed, with the power at the campsite or I have another nema 14-50 plug available at the garage of the main house.

Camping near Missoula guide

Overview

There’s a reason that Missoula is a regular on “best places to live” lists. It offers the best of all worlds — the arts, craft breweries, rich history, and of course, outdoor adventure. Surrounded by mountains, forests, and rivers, Missoula is close to some of Montana’s best campsites.

Close to downtown Missoula, several private RV parks offer year-round camping. Comfort is king at these parks; enjoy Wi-Fi, full hookups, and cozy cabin rentals.

Prefer the wilderness? Head into the Lolo National Forest, where 28 Forest Service campgrounds offer RV and tent camping. At Lolo Creek Campground, spend the day birdwatching and finish with a dip in the nearby Hot Springs. Bring your fishing gear to Bitterroot Flat Campground, which features a Blue Ribbon trout stream.

If you’re heading to Glacier National Park on Highway 93, be sure to stop at Flathead Lake. Waterfront sites at Flathead Lake State Park are perfect for kid-friendly swimming, boating, and hiking.

Tucked away in northwestern Montana, Missoula is a four-season destination. Summer days are warm and sunny, and autumn brings stunning fall foliage. In the winter, locals love cross-country skiing and high-speed snowmobiling. Warm layers are a must year-round, especially if you’re heading for high-elevation campsites.
