A sanctuary away from everyday life, where you can relax and reconnect with nature. Yurt has electricity, a wood stove for heat in winter, a beautiful outdoor kitchen and bathhouse, and a year round creek nearby. Only 45 minutes from Missoula Montana. Games and books in the yurt.

Mostly secluded, situated above our garden and raspberry patch, so we are on that side of the garden early on summer mornings.

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. If you want to make her an honest women, while you're here, you're staying on our wedding and event venue (www.flatheadlakeforevers) and we will help make that happen too. Tell us what you want and we'll help you make it happen. Pictures posted on this site are all from this 34 acre, 900 ft. of lake frontage venue. Don't miss this one.

5. Idaho Panhandle National Forests

It doesn’t get much prettier than the Idaho panhandle. Situated between Big Sky Country of Montana and the vibrant evergreen fields of Washington (which seriously look Photoshopped to the naked eye), this forest holds more than half the state’s surface waters, and wilderness vibes are guaranteed by the deer, elk, bear, caribou, and wolf populations who call this spot home. Moist maritime air comes in from the Pacific coast, and historic cabins dot the landscape. Near Spokane and the border can get busy on the weekends, but with this much acreage you can always find seclusion here. Make sure to check out at least a portion of the bikeable and walkable Hiawatha Trail—weaving 15 miles through tunnels and across high steel trestles in the Bitterroot Mountains, it’s been called one of the most scenic stretches of railroad in the country.

Waterfront serenity tucked into the timeless beauty of an old homestead. Gods Country. A place where the past lingers gently, offering quiet moments and a slower rhythm, steeped in the spirit of simpler times. The property has a railroad track nearby with trains running several times a day. There is no whistle, but if you are a light sleeper the rumble may be a disturbance. 23.5 hours a day are incredibly peaceful. The other half hour is a nostalgic sound track, echoing the spirit of American industry that helped build a nation!

Weekend Trip to Fox Lane Private Campsite

We booked this Hipcamp as a stopping point along a 10-day, multi-state RV trip and we are SO glad we did. We stayed 2 nights and wish we would’ve stayed a 3rd. It was so peaceful and serene. It was truly the definition of a relaxing experience. The views from our panoramic window were gorgeous, especially at sunrise, and the nighttime sky was insane. We would love to make the trek back someday to enjoy this beautiful oasis again.

This spot is such heaven I had to stay another night! Imagine finding a bucolic and peaceful wild camping spot- a big clearing with majestic 180* view, wildflowers and herbs all around, and behind you a forest of giant firs and pine, where if you’re as lucky as I was, get to see a herd of elk passing by, as well as plenty of deer. You’re high enough to be above the heat and the bugs, and the only sounds are the birds, the coyotes serenading at night, the whistles of the elk in the woods, and an occasional rooster call from somewhere down below. And as others mentioned, the night sky show above too. And so you’re imagining your perfect wild camping spot right? Now add in the fact that it is pristine- unfortunately so many great camp spots are filled with trash and other nuisances. Or if you’re at a campground or even most Hipcamp places, you’re lined in next to other campers. Near a road. Something that takes away from the magic. Here you have the sweet spot all to yourself. Plus electricity and running water! I have traveled and camped all over the country- wild places, campgrounds, Hipcamp, blm, all of it. This is a gem of a place and a rare find! Also- Jeff, the host- is incredibly accommodating, friendly, and quick to respond to any messages!

We loved this camp spot. It was very private and had amazing views. Jeff communicated well and answered any questions we had. It was just a few miles to the Clark Fork River where we went paddle boarding and took the dog swimming in every day. It was great! We have a 35 ft fifth wheel and a short bed pickup. We had to be a little creative to get out of the spot but we managed. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

The perfect campsite if you love privacy, nature, quiet, and stars. We saw the Milky Way and shooting stars every night. The sunrises are spectacular over the mountains. We saw more deer than we could count and even heard a wolf howling in the distance. We later confirmed that it was a wolf with a local neighbor who also heard it. This is our second stay at Fox Lane and I’m sure not our last! Thank you for the new picnic table and fire pit!!

This was our second visit to Jeffrey’s peaceful and beautifully remote campsite, and once again, it did not disappoint. The location is perfect for anyone looking to disconnect and unwind, surrounded by nature with a sense of true solitude. There are plenty of sightseeing opportunities just a short drive away, and we loved how close the fishing spots were—just minutes from the site. The campsite itself has seen some great improvements since our first visit. Jeffrey added a picnic table and a fire pit, which made our stay even more comfortable. To top it off, he surprised us with some firewood, which was a really thoughtful gesture—especially considering we were his very first guests last year! One of our favorite parts of staying here is the sky. The area is perfect for stargazing, and the sunsets are absolutely breathtaking. It’s hard to capture in words just how peaceful and scenic the evenings are. Overall, another great experience at a truly special place. Thanks again to Jeffrey for being such a thoughtful host. We’ll definitely be back!

2 nights at Sanctuary Farm Yurt Glamping

We loved our time at Sanctuary Farm. The farm itself is on a private road, off a minor country road in a heavily treed area - The drive there is spectacular. You know you are in for something special! The yurt was placed well away from the owner's home, which gave lots of privacy and the night sky is DARK, so perfect for stargazing. The composting sawdust outhouse was a short walk from the yurt & surprisingly pleasant - no odor or flies and plenty of ventilation. 1000 times nicer than a port-o-potty. The solar heated camp shower provided by the host worked great. Just be sure to shower in the evening after the water has had all day to heat up! The optional breakfast was delish - definitely worth the cost & we ate out for our other meals, so never used the outdoor kitchen. We enjoyed our time here & would definitely recommend it to others seeking a stay off-the-beaten path.
