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.

The Flathead National Forest is all about its geography. It lies in the heart of the Rockies, just west of the continental divide, and a pinch south of the Canadian Border. With geography like this, landscape magic is bound to occur, and it does. With over 2.4 million acres, the Flathead features three wilderness areas, impressive ski areas, commanding wild ranges, meandering streams, and raging rivers (this list could go on). Spend your days hiking, rafting, wildlife viewing, snowshoeing, and fishing. At night shack up in a Forest Service cabin or pitch a tent beneath the northern lights. Get the fire roaring, raise your bottle, and make a toast to the Flathead and her geographic magic!

You are going to be filled to the brim with glee when you discover Lolo National Forest. Seriously; this is the kind of place you can stand with your feet in a crystal clear stream, bighorn sheep filling the meadow, with the sun setting behind snowcapped mountain peaks in the distance. And that’s just a roadside pull off! With over two million acres to explore, hikers, bikers and backcountry seekers will be stoked on the supa-lush forest, and trails like Cougar Peak Lookout and the Lolo Peak trail (which we assure you is not low-low).

Through the meadows or up the peaks, it’s easy enough to get your share of adventure at Lolo.

Terri’s place is amazing! She has a lot of nice amenities (Kitchenette, outdoor cooking area, clean bathrooms). My friend and I spent four nights tent camping and felt so safe and cozy. A few notes for anyone reading: -there is a train that goes through at night but earplugs will do the trick if you’re a light sleeper -the kitchenette has plenty of basic spices and condiments for shared use + coffee and teas. -we has tent spot 1 which was perfect with our car, 4 person tent, and small table with chairs. Someone else in the reviews mentioned the common area and bathrooms are a far walk from the campsites - this is false. They are ~ 100 steps away. So basically the equivalent of a longer driveway. Hot tip - Terri has a recycling bin that you can pull from for kindling - the newspaper and toilet paper roles are the perfect combo to make a great fire!

One of the best campsites we’ve ever stayed in! It was incredible to have a kitchen and shower available after a long day of hiking and the host was lovely. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else next time we’re in the area!

This is an amazing place to stay! Terri is exceptionally kind, the sites are nice and clear, it's super close to the West Glacier entrance, and the bathroom & kitchen area are so nice. If you forgot to pack anything, you'll find it at the commons - from hot sauce to bear spray. I didn't think the trains would bother me, but I did pick up a cheap paid of foam earplugs & that solved that issue easily. If you get the chance, you'll love staying here!

Nice Green Area to set up and take in the panoramic scenery. Lots of room to spread out. Porta Potty and Water Available.

What a gem. Terri was such a great host. The site was great! Just a stones throw from Glacier National Park, and also several towns with great shops. Terri's shared space with bathrooms, showers, kitchen, firepits was just such a treat. A really great find, and if back that way would definitely stay again and again!

The Mooseshroom camping is the ultimate campground for those seeking a quiet escape on the West end of Glacier National Park. My wife and I were blown away by the homely common area adjacent to the host’s personal residence that offered the cleanest bathrooms/showers we’ve ever seen at a campground! The Mooseshroom is one of the most welcoming places for folks from all walks of life, and host Terri was very kind and personable. We’re certainly looking forward to a second chance to stay here next time we visit the park!

Terri was an amazing host! We had a great time at her property and really enjoyed the amenities as well as how convenient the location was for our trip to glacier national park and to under the big sky music festival.

Camp out and enjoy this home away from home while you head to Glacier National Park or the Bison Range!

The trailer worked well for me and my friend on our trip to the Under the Big Sky Music Festival and Glacier National Park as they were both 20 minutes or less away from the trailer. Tanya is great with any questions that you might have. She was very responsive and made sure any questions were answered.

Our home for 4 nights and 5 days. We miss it already

We're already planning on coming back next year. We had the best time. Terri is the most amazing host. She's like a mix of Mrs. Fizzle and Stevie Nicks, so accommodating, and down to earth. Her sites are well set up, the commons area is perfect. The bathrooms and showers are cleaned daily. The kitchen has everything you need. There's even a dry shelf and seperate fridge shelf for items campers can share with others, love this!! And the firepits are such a great space to hangout after a day of hiking or festival fun. We met a lot of amazing people on this trip. 1000% recommend staying here. . There is no doubt she deserved #1 Hipcamp in MONTANA!!!
