1 night at ❤️ Glacier Park HipCamp 🏕️

One of the best Hipcamp spots ever. The owners are SO nice. The property is a dream. The Montana property I own in my dreams? Yeah, it’s this spot. The campsites are so well designed and the craftsmanship of the fire pits, benches and bathrooms is top tier. Plus, the Tube is SO cool. 10/10 stay.

2 nights at ❤️ Glacier Park HipCamp 🏕️

Great place in a great location, would definitely recommend!

3 nights at ❤️ Glacier Park HipCamp 🏕️

This is a BEAUTIFUL place to stay that is very close to west glacier. The camping area is spacious, the pond is so peaceful, and they have lots of boats/kayaks that you can use. Potable water is available and they have a kettle with a stove for use. Will definitely stay here again next time I’m in the area.

2 nights at ❤️ Glacier Park HipCamp 🏕️

We had the most amazing time. The pod is adorable. The mattress super comfortable. It’s super quiet. There’s a gazebo with a bbq and games like cornhole. We took the boat out on the pond and even ran down the zip line (intended for kids but adult approved). Jake was a great host. Would 100% recommend.

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!

3 nights at Stillwater Getaway

Owners were great! Always checked in with me to make sure everything was fine and the amenities were awesome. Everything you would need is available! The place itself was absolutely beautiful! Perfect stay!

Weekend Trip to ❤️ Glacier Park HipCamp 🏕️

My stay was in the off-season for this area, but still I was blown away that I stumbled across an affordable place to stay this close to the national park. The place is set up nicer than many campgrounds that I’ve been to with great, clean fire pits and picnic tables and even a beautifully constructed vault toilet (seriously). You’ve got easy road access but you’re also behind a small hill so the noise is in no way bothersome or even noticeable. There’s a fair bit of room to walk around and the host has left some paddle boards and a small boat for use. I would easily stay here again.

❤️ Glacier Park HipCamp 🏕️

23 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres · Coram, MT

Come enjoy peace and quiet in the beautiful meadows near our home. We are located on 40 acres that include forested trails, a large pond, two small ponds, a creek, and frequent wildlife as well as spectacular stargazing at night. All sites have a campfire ring and picnic table. We provide a unique eco-camping experience in contrast to the crowded campground/RV park, and we are only 6 miles away from the entrance to Glacier National Park! Please let us know if you have multiple tents or vehicles as some sites may be a better choice for you than others. No hookups are provided – dry camping only. Parking for larger vehicles/trailers is available at sites 1-6 - an open, flat meadow with the pond on the other side of the road. Tents are welcome in all sites; although, we recommend the back meadow sites (7 and up) for more secluded tent campers (especially in July) as it has less traffic and more privacy. Sites 7-20 (the back meadow sites) have parking for vehicles 26' or less in total length. All sites have access to vault toilets, and all sites are back-in sites with partial shade. Because of the proximity to Glacier National Park and the main HWY, traffic noise and train noise can be heard at the campsites. Visitors are ask to keep their speed to a minimum to reduce dust on the dirt on Greens Road. We are just a short bike ride away (two minutes by car) from attractions such as the Whiskey Barn, The Paul Bunyan Bar & grill, Glacier Hi-Line Ropes Course, and the Amazing Fun Center, maze, and mini golf. It is also easy access to the Gateway to Glacier Bike path. E-bike rentals are across the street from us. Closest Gas station is the Cenex in Coram (1.5 mi away). Closest public (free) landfill dump is 2.2 miles toward Columbia Falls at 9626 Us HWY 2 E. Near Paul Bunyan Bar and Grill (which is also a good restaurant near us). Look for the gated entry and small sign marking Flathead Landfill. Closest grocery is in Hungry Horse at Canyon Foods Grocery (3.5 miles away). There is a laundromat next to this grocery store. Closest dump and water fill up for a vehicle with a holding tank is Mikes Conoco at 1645 9th st W in Columbia Falls (8.9 mi away). Closest town with wifi, cafes, restaurants, urgent care and larger grocery stores is Columbia Falls (9 miles away). We sell solar shower bags, sun screen, card games, cream soda, frisbees, bug spray, coffee, firewood, and more at Sam and Molly's mercantile by our house in the middle of our property.

The Mooseshroom

15 sites · Lodging, Tents9 acres · Coram, MT

The Mooseshroom is an awesome camping community that is just 7 miles from the west side of Glacier National Park. Community fire pits near the Commons are a short walk from whichever tent spot guests are assigned. The Commons also houses the bathrooms and inside/outside kitchen areas. There is plenty of seating, hammocks and picnic tables for guests to use as well. We also have two yurts available for booking on our property. The Mooseshroom is a licensed business that is limited to hosting 18 guests per night. Guests should expect a quiet, peaceful camping experience with plenty of room to enjoy their surroundings. ***This property is adjacent Highway 2 and there is a fair amount of road noise. There's also a train that's fairly close. The noise kinda comes with the territory, guests are also 10 minutes from the west entrance to the park. The noise does tend to subside considerably at night, but for those bothered by this type of noise, you might consider an alternate location. Most guests are truly fine with it.
