🏕️ Elkrise Meadows – Elk at Sunrise Under the Big Sky Location: Trout Creek, Montana Type: Primitive Tent Camping | 10 Acres | Off-Grid Welcome to Elkrise Meadows — where the elk roam, the sky never ends, and your morning coffee comes with a front-row seat to nature’s wildest show. Pitch your tent on 10 private acres of meadowland nestled in the wilderness outside Trout Creek. No power, no water, no Wi-Fi — just you, your gear, and whatever you bring with you. If you pack it in, pack it out. Each morning just before sunrise, a herd of elk moves through the pasture, grazing peacefully in the early light. It's a moment you'll never forget — whether you're sipping coffee by the fire, stretching in the cool dawn air, or watching from inside your tent. This is roughing it at its finest. Perfect for hunters, couples looking to unplug, or anyone ready to experience Montana the old-fashioned way: raw, real, and unforgettable. 🔥 What to Expect 🌄 Epic sunrise views over open meadows 🦌 Daily elk sightings (seriously!) 🔥 Fire pits welcome (check fire restrictions) ⛺ Bring your own tent, gear, and grit 💧 No water, no toilets – this is real off-grid camping 🛻 Easy pull-up access for trucks/SUVs Note: This is not a glamping site.

2 nights at Upper Pack River Cottage

lots to explore in the upper pack river valley. Our experience with Mike as a host was fantastic, very accommodating. The cottage is very cozy and has many little extras stocked insids, flashlights right where you need them if your going out in the night, board games and cards, reading material, a book on the hiking trails in the area, cutlery and the shower works great. We highly recommend this getaway. This cottage would also be a great location to have close access to hunting in the area during the season as well.

The Hosts are so solid. People you want in your life. Kind, genuine. For me this is important and makes all the difference in this life and especially when sharing community. However, It wouldn’t really matter if you didn’t like them anyway, because in the whispering woods of their remote property, the cabin is on its own level. You’re all alone in the Magic of the hill top. Great place to reset, write, read. Or, Do absolutely nothing with your dog. Also a good jump off point to many trails and everything Panhandle. 20 minutes from Sandpoint. We came from Priest Lake and were headed to Glacier via the Swinging Bridge route on 2. Good pillows, comfortable bed, cast iron, games, telescope, wall of windows, yet so private. Only the soaring Eagles will see you. Doug brought me maps and books and Jessica brought me solutions for anything that came up along my way. Great communication. Reliable. Fair. Not for the Bougie. Unless you’re trying to come back to earth.
