Camping near Hungry Horse

Set in northwest Montana amid the majestic subranges of the Rocky Mountains, the surrounding area around Hungry Horse offers camping in dense coniferous forests or next to alpine lakes. North of town, Glacier National Park is full of backcountry camping with minimal facilities except the landscapes. Revel in the mountain views while hiking the Great Glacier Trail or the very steep Hermit Trail. To the south, Flathead National Forest has numerous campgrounds along the west and east sides of Hungry Horse Reservoir. The vast body of water is created by the Hungry Horse Dam and fed by the South Fork of Flathead River. Amenities at on-site campsites vary and may include drinking water, picnic tables, boat launches, dump stations, and restrooms with vault toilets. Cabin rentals with stoves and comfortable beds are available too. Alternatively, private RV parks near Whitefish, Martin City, and Kalispell give campers more comfortable amenities like full hookups, free wifi, on-site laundry facilities, hot showers, and convenient access to shopping and restaurants.

4 tent/small camper sites located in a wooded yard at the South East corner in the charming little town of Hungry Horse. It’s about a 10-15 minute drive from Glacier National Park so you’ll be nestled into the canyon that leads directly to the park. Feel cozy and comfortable in our scenic little side yard. Sites are on the smaller side but allow plenty of space for small campers, vehicles, tents and all sites include a picnic table and access to a water spigot for clean, potable water as well as access to a port potty on site. We allow pets as well! An ideal location for those looking to explore all the Flathead Valley has to offer. The 1.25 acre yard is on the end of a normally quiet street. The spots are plenty shady and cool given all of the tree coverage in the yard. Spots are all fairly flat and the perfect sizes for a group of tents or a small camper and some vehicles. Between sites 2 and 3 are hammocks set up for guests to use. There is a playground near by across the street at the old school for kids to enjoy. UPDATE: There will be a porta potty on site coming soon, starting May 2026! We are working on getting more amenities to these sites in the near future. :) We do allow pets at this time but they must be leashed and looked after responsibly. There are other pets at this property as well as at surrounding neighbor's homes so please exercise caution and make sure pets are well behaved and polite guests. Thank you!

At our rustic and historic homestead you'll find a quiet "Boondocking" camp site. Our home borders National Forest and the Bob Marshal Wilderness Area. We are only a few minutes drive to the west entrance to Glacier National Park, the Hungry Horse Reservoir and Desert Mountain Recreation Area. Our site is self-sufficient and offers big-sky mountain views that are ideal for stargazers and those just looking to be away from the crowds while visiting the Glacier National Park area. You’ll likely be visited by whitetail deer and our resident elk herd during the summer months. You'll need to be self-contained. Generators are ok between 9.am and 9pm. Propane grills and/or fire pits are ok when fire restrictions permit. We do not allow open-flame wood fires or grills.

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!

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.

Tucked into a quiet hollow just 7 miles from Glacier National Park, this rolling, wooded property was once a thriving herb farm. Oregano and other herbs still grow wild among the aspens and lodgepole pines. Today, it’s a peaceful basecamp for exploring Glacier, Flathead Lake, Whitefish Mountain, and the many natural wonders nearby. Brad and Sarah, your hosts, frequent the property while Brad builds custom cabins on the land—including one on the original homestead foundation. Until then, guests can enjoy the property’s secluded, park-like feel and easy access to adventure. Why you’ll love it here: -Secluded yet convenient: rare privacy this close to the park -3 acres of partially wooded land for relaxing, walking dogs, or playing games -Mature trees, peekaboo mountain views, and level sites with room to spread out Site details: -Level gravel pads with electric hookups (50/30/20 amp) and water -No septic service, but public dump stations nearby -Reliable cell signal for most carriers + Wi-Fi on-site -Gravel access road with a short uphill turn at the entrance (all RVs manage fine, but good to know ahead of time) Despite the quiet setting, you’re just 11 miles from Columbia Falls for groceries, dining, and local bars. Glacier Distilling, zip lines, and family attractions are also close by. Also please note: this isn’t the place for large groups or loud parties—most guests come for Montana’s peace and starry nights. We’re often on-site working on future cabins, and we’d love to say hello if you see us around! Special offer: We provide a 15% discount for Police, Firefighters, and Active Duty Military.

Though this is a new listing on Hipcamp, I've been hosting on another platform since 2017 with consistently stellar reviews. I’ve decided to switch to Hipcamp because it seems like a better fit for my low key, rustic offerings. My one acre property is located in a quiet neighborhood surrounded mostly by uninhabited lots. There are two wall tent listings, and the kitchen and bathroom facilities are communal. I also live on property with my two dogs. Daisy is a pit mix and Frodo is a Pyrenees/Anatolian mix livestock guardian dog. They are friendly and like to hang out in my fenced backyard. Frodo does bark at night to ward off bears and other unwanted visitors. There is also a train nearby that runs all hours of the night. If you're looking for lodging in Coram, you're going to hear the train. For these reasons, earplugs are provided. In addition to hosting Hipcampers, I'm a host on Workaway, and so there may be workstay volunteers on property as well during your stay. If so they also use the bathroom facilities but they share my outdoor kitchen with me. I'm in the process of developing the property into a permaculture homestead, expanding my garden, and doing more natural building projects. If you share these interests be sure to let me know!
