Drive-in, park, and begin enjoying all the crazy, fun, or just relaxing things you want out of your private lakefront property. You're on the shores of Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake, this side of the Mississippi, and home of Wildhorse Island, where the Boone and Crocket world record Bighorn Sheep was discovered, killed by winter weather. This 2160 acre island is also the home of deer, mountain lions, bears, several species of eagles, and wild horses. Day hiking is allowed and is a 5-minute boat ride from your beach spot. Just slightly over an hour to Glacier National Park and access to all the mountain lakes, rivers and streams to explore, you won't be bored. Right around the corner, you have access to a boat ramp at one of the state-owned Parks with public showers, if the lake water is too cold.

48mi from Kalispell · 3 sites · Tents, RVs · Fortine, MT

Forest, meadow, and a delicious mountain range view....this property feels secluded with one residence besides ours in view, yet is only a few hundred yards off of Hwy 93. Easily accessible whether you're a cycler or RVer. Our acreage is smack dab on an elk route from water to the hills, so when they are using this route, we see them every few days. Deer, coyotes, eagles, hawks and owls are frequent guests, with occasional drop-ins by wolves, moose, and bears. We are mid-build on our home and have a lively family and dog. The two RV spots are about 25 yards from our house, so be aware we will all be sharing the space, to a degree. There is plenty of space for your dog(s) to run. We should communicate to let our dogs meet, but if they get along, no leashes needed. Many summer nights we host bonfires and music, but we're not too wild; things will quiet down around 11 p.m. Water and electric are solid; wifi from the house may reach you. Black and gray water dumping is available for a fee. We are mere minutes from many local lakes, 25 minutes from the Canadian border, 12 minutes from Eureka, 2 minutes to a gas station, 45 minutes from Whitefish, and about 70 minutes from the West Entrance to Glacier National Park.

These campsites are located off of the highway between Whitefish and Kalispell. It is a beautiful little ranch with horses, chickens and wild turkeys! The tent sites are close enough to the highway where you can hear some traffic, but it usually quiets down in the evening. We are 5 minutes from Whitefish/Big Mountain, 15 minutes from Glacier National Airport, about 45 to Glacier National Park, and about 30 minutes to Flathead Lake. Plenty of things to see and do nearby!

My wife and I loved this place. If I could have cancelled part of our next destination we would have asked Allen if we could stay one more day. Very secluded and about 3 minutes from paddle boarding on flathead lake. Will definately stay again if I am in the area.

A perfectly lovely spot right on the water, the sound of waves lapping the shore so enchanting to fall asleep and wake up to that! Alan is an outstanding host, great communication, extremely helpful getting into the camp spot so we were positioned just right to make the most of our stay. Two very sweet schnauzers, Digger and Gabby, stopped by to say hi. Overall a quiet, peaceful, fun, relaxing play to stay.

Excellent host, great location close to Glacier, and the camp sites were spaced out far enough that you feel secluded. We would absolutely stay here again.
