Terrible experience and no response

Our stay started out nice enough. We were greeted by the owners and shown our spot next to the house. The area was smaller than I expected and just a side lawn off the owner’s driveway, but certainly peaceful and lovely. We had a four night reservation and were delayed getting to town so arrived on the second evening. The next night we needed to stay closer to town for an early appointment so only returned for our final night. The owners we clearly not home this time. Just after 11:30pm a jet of water (irrigation system) started slamming against the side of our van and through our window. This didn’t happen the first night and was incredibly loud. I immediately sent a message to the owner, and was not surprised at that late hour that they did not respond. After 15 minutes, the jet stopped, and another started up, hitting the opposite side of our van. There was absolutely no way I could sleep during all of this and it ruined my night and my next day. The same sprinklers came on once again in the morning, waking up my young son. I reached out to the site owner twice afterward hoping to at least get some sort of apology, acknowledgment or explanation and have gotten zero response despite multiple efforts to contact them. I even let them know I am not one to typically leave bad reviews, but prefer to address issues directly. However, I feel it’s important to share both the negative experience and the lack of responsiveness in case you were considering staying here.

Perfect spot to camp for marathon

What a wonderful spot with incredible hosts. The spot is situated in a quiet neighborhood near a beautiful trail system. It was the perfect spot to camp before the Misoulla marathon as we were about a 2 minute walk from the start line instead of driving and shuttling back. Eric was so kind to shuttle us back the night before. Thank you for your kind gesture, it meant the world and gained us 1.5 hours of sleep prior to racing.

Nice quiet spot

Nice quiet neighborhood with great access to trail head. I used the bike path to get to a park which was convenient as well. You’ll probably want a toilet, the trailhead isn’t far but wouldn’t be something you’d want to walk to a lot.

Camping in small RV with pup

Being in the backyard of Blue Mountain and just outside of Missoula was an awesome place to camp for the night! Amanda and her sweet family are very kind folks. Quiet spot with excellent views.

Aspen site

I was greeted upon arrival and asked to text if I had any needs. My 33 foot travel trailer fit very well in the site. The site being on the lawn was a plus because it rained during my stay. It was easy to level my trailer. The site was level side to side, but
