These are newly developed sites (2021) nested on the back of our property about 200ft from our house on a dead-end road. We have rural neighborhood vibe, with a 2 mile scenic paved walking path nearby. We have newly planted trees and shrubs, so not much afternoon shade. With the open areas sunrises and sunsets are fantastic! Both back in sites are 40’ in length with extra vehicle parking available. Please confirm your measurements before booking. There is enough room to easily pull in and then back into your spot. Ideal for Class-A motor-homes, fifth wheels, tent trailers, travel trailers, pick-up campers and self-contained van campers. Additionally, 1 tent is allowed at each site. Because there are no bathrooms we are unable to accept TENT ONLY camping at this time. Both campsites have full hookups including artisan well water, septic, with 50 amp electric on site #2 and 30 & 50 amp electric on site #3. Garbage receptacle is located by the east side of the greenhouse. Plenty to see and do in the Flathead Valley. Lots of wonderful local restaurants, pubs, breweries and wineries. Tons of trails to hike, rivers to raft, lakes to boat and parks to stroll. We have a list of our favorites, don’t hesitate to ask!

Waterfront serenity tucked into the timeless beauty of an old homestead. Gods Country. A place where the past lingers gently, offering quiet moments and a slower rhythm, steeped in the spirit of simpler times. The property has a railroad track nearby with trains running several times a day. There is no whistle, but if you are a light sleeper the rumble may be a disturbance. 23.5 hours a day are incredibly peaceful. The other half hour is a nostalgic sound track, echoing the spirit of American industry that helped build a nation!

I absolutely loved staying in the A-frame. It was comfy and warm even on a chilly night. The shower/dressing room trailer was very handy. Having the creek right there is a bonus. Geoff is a very gracious host. I'd definitely stay there again!

We really enjoyed our time here! We stayed a night as part of our honeymoon traveling through Montana. It is very peaceful and quiet, beautiful surroundings with the mountains and creek, and the animals are really sweet and fun to be around. The bed is super comfy and cozy and we slept so well in the A frame. The camper with the shower is really cool and the hot shower was a very nice treat. It was a pleasure meeting and chatting with Geof. Would love to stay here again some day!

One of the best hip camps we’ve ever stayed at. Our only regret was we had just one night. Incredible scenery, the friendliest donkeys, a really comfortable bed in the A frame, and unbelievable star gazing. Was the perfect midpoint on our Bozeman to glacier road trip!

Geoff’s mini cabin was perfect! The creek, the animals, and the mountain views made for such a peaceful getaway. My favourite part was the converted shower trailer even though we had some trouble with water temps :)

We loved the quiet and cleanliness of the camp in kalispell. It was easy to drive to Glacier NP the 7 days we camped at the site. We also liked that it was close to stores in Columbia Falls. We had everything we needed for the most enjoyable stay at camp!

Brittany and Mike were amazing hosts.. super friendly and helpful. Their site is beautiful and is situated perfectly; minutes to Big Fork and a quick jaunt to Whitefish and Glacier. We stayed two nights but would love to return for a longer stay. I highly recommend this HipCamp…

Weekend Trip to Mission Falls Ranch

Tent camping on Geof's (Mission Falls Ranch) Ranch was awesome! My wife and I loved the site - next to a babbling stream and near the farm. Geof was a terrific host - he shared lots about the farm and the animals (goats, cows, donkeys, chickens, pigs, and his dogs). All of the animals were friendly. You could choose to interact with the animals or not - your choice; we chose to interact, and it enhanced our experience. The location in the Mission Mountains was gorgeous and easy to access from the main roads. It was far enough away to be quiet with only the sounds of the stream and occasional mooing of the cows. Overall this ranks in our top 3 camping location experiences. We can't wait until we can go back.

Looking north, lots of trees and other campsite is divided by shrubs

My husband and I were warmly welcomed by Geof when we arrived. We camped by the river, which lulled us to sleep every night. The bed was comfy and large. I get cold easily and was concerned that the A frame would be too cold in the middle of the night. My husband and I slept like a baby and I was not cold at all. The outhouse was near by. I learned that pouring bark in the toilet will keep the odor down. There was a converted a small trailer into the cutest shower and dressing area. Only had an issue with controlling the hot and cold water but all else was great. Their dogs are well behaved, love to play catch. One pup in particular was clearly playing hide and seek. He would bring the ball or stick and then run to hide behind a near by bench and would peer through the slats until I threw the ball or stick. He would appear and go after it and do the same. None of the dogs jumped on us or were pushy about playing. It was devastating to hear that a guest ran over and killed one of these precious members of the family. Please be careful when you drive onto the property. Pets are part of a family and are loved just as well. Please be cautious.

Well thoughtout layout. Quiet and peaceful site, level and well assessoried with fire ring and picnic table and full hookups. Good distance from other campsite but close enough to feel secure. Would recommend highly! Host offered wifi but we used our Starlink which received good reception.

This site was super! There is a nice green grassy area and full hookups. Kelly was a very gracious host and even showed me her beautiful garden. The location is convenient to Glacier Park, Kalispell and Whitefish. I will remember this for my next trip through Montana.
