Weekend Trip to Stillwater Getaway

Loved the area and space for us to walk around with our dogs! We had a blast and will be back again!

Weekend Trip to Bucketlist #1

What a gorgeous spot! Easy to find, secluded and quiet. Often times you could hear nothing but the wildlife. Saw deer, coyote and even a bear (didn't think they would be out yet! ) Thanks to Alan and Marty, who helped us get settled in.

Woody's On Flathead Lake

11 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents2 acres · Somers, MT

Welcome to ‘Woody's on Flathead Lake’. This is my Wild Firefighter's Base-camp. It were we dispatch to fight wildfires from. We store, prep and repair emergency equipment and gear at our shop, here. It’s where we heal after a long season. It’s where my Tribe of Firefighters, is always welcome.. It’s not a KOA, were not a campground, it’s healing ground I'm sharing it with Hipsters, for the first time, anywhere. Enjoy! It's a little bit of a Quirky kinda place. A couple acres of ground, a lake, mountains and good times. Run by a Wild Firefighter, known as "Wildman Woody". A big bowl carved out of the base of a mountain, walking distance to Flathead Lake. There are tons of hiking trails and back mountain roads to explore, out your backdoor. The beach and boat launch. There you will find, fishing charters, sailing lessons, boats, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, for rent. Along with lots of folks from everywhere. If you're, sad or depressed and would like a good laugh, park a squat next to the boat launch on a busy day. Great entertainment, trust me, true story. The beach is fun too, lots of folks swimming and just having some fun on a hot summer day, You never know who you'll run into here. It has a nice roped off swimming area, no lifeguard. It's a great spot for picnics as there are some shaded secluded places nestled in the trees, with picnic tables, near the water. There's another beach in Somers, called Wayfarers, in a more private, quiet area with shallow water and sandy beach. Water is warmer there, too. Critter friendly. You can launch your boat, once it's been inspected, by MT Fish and Game for Invasive Aquatic Species. Something we take very seriously here, on the Flathead. Base-camp is quiet and pretty private. Great for healing and revitalization. EMF’s are very low because of its location. Which means, some folks may experience connection issues with certain carriers. Wi-Fi is available, or head to higher ground nearby for a better signal. Each site comes with a movable fire-pit, with a lid that converts it into a table when not in use. It also has two pivot-able grill at different cooking heights. There's a wooden panic table for 4 that converts to a love seat for two, to enjoy the Bonfire with, later.
