What a great spot! Quiet and peaceful. Beautiful views. It felt very private. Clyde greeted us and pointed us in the direction of a good spot for the night. We would be happy to stay again!

Fantastic site with great views and lots of animals around. Easy to find and big enough to feel completely private.
Thr owner Clyde was able to give us a ride to Many Glacier with super short notice when our shuttle was a no show. It was our last day in the area and Grinnel was supposed to be the highlight of our entire trip. Clyde really saved our vacation!

Great Easy Spot to Camp

This was a great place to camp outside of Glacier National Park. It's close to the entrance, and he has plenty of space on the land to be away from other campers. We had a little bit of a hard time finding it, I think I misunderstood his directions, but we ended up at a house and a man came out (I'm assuming it was Clyde) and he told us where to go. He was super friendly and gave us advice on where to go for a good view.

This was a perfect spot to sleep for the night before I explored the park. Clyde stopped by to say hello and welcome me to his amazing spot of land! Thanks Clyde. I hope to see you in the near future for my next trip through Glacier.

Wooooow! Awesome scenery and just so quiet. A good place to get away from the world and enjoy peace and quiet. Clyde is very nice and cares about your stay, even came to check in on us. Mad I made reservations after this because I would have just stayed here for awhile.

Beautiful off grid experience.

Clyde's land is the perfect place to stay if you truly want to be off grid. It is wide open and beautiful. Nothing around but a few horses in the distance. My pups and I very much enjoyed the quiet and peaceful evening.

Clyde's land is incredible! We were one of two campers on his land and we really didn't notice the other campers at all. You can park anywhere you want and the views are incredible. We picked a site up on a hill so that we had 360 views. We got an incredible sunset. In the morning the sunrise was incredible and I woke up to horses outside our van. Later on we watched two grizzly bears foraging on one of the hills, we sat and watched them for a few hours. Clyde's dogs also joined us for breakfast, they are the sweetest pups. The stars at night are unreal, you won't get that view anywhere else. This is by far one of my favorite sites ever, the experience was so peaceful and just all around amazing. Its about 20 minutes to the St. Mary entrance of Glacier and 30-40 minutes to the Two Medicine entrance. We found the location super convenient! Thanks again Clyde!

Clyde’s land is beautiful and perfect for anyone looking to hike in Glacier! The campsite was super private yet still very close to the St Mary’s and Two Medicine entrances to the park. I highly recommend staying at this incredible campsite!

I’ve Hipcamped in many places across the country any could honestly say, Clyde’s camp is my favourite. First off, the land is incredibly special, looking just beyond his green fields is Glacier National Park and the views were amazing!! But here’s what I’ll say about Clyde’s land, I felt something incredibly special being there. The second I stepped foot on the property. There’s just something about it I can’t explain. Clyde led me up to a beautiful perch overlooking his fields and hills and the aspens below. He shared with me that bears sometimes roam the hills and come down from the mountains, the cows would be in the upper pastures, and from time to time his dogs would come visit. I asked about his familial history there and he took time with me to share the story of these ancestral lands, lands his family owned for generations. He told me the names of the mountains inside Glacier (MadWolf) being my favorite, named after one of his ancestors. And he shared with me the ugly story behind white men taking nearly all of it from his tribe. I was a solo camper, white guy from the south, and here is Clyde “Going Forward” (his tribal name) allowing me the night in this beautiful place so that I might get to experience its beauty. Thanks a ton for everything Clyde, best night of camping I’ve had. And lastly, thank you for the book recommendation, I did pick up a copy inside the park as well as his follow up story about the great Rising Wolf of the Blackfeet! I will be back!

We loved camping on Clyde's land! You just roll up and pick a spot. We chose a knoll that faced the mountain and watched a gorgeous sunset in solitude. We only had one night but would definitely dry camp here again for easy access with a camper to some privacy.

This place offers amazing views of the mountains & is vast enough to ensure privacy if that is what you’re looking for. It’s about 25 minutes from the much quieter entrance to the park at St Mary’s. Clyde was incredibly nice & accommodating.

Beautiful land, fun days exploring the area, chill evening at your campsite, starry skies at night. Clyde is the man. He greeted us to show us around his 80 acres and let us pick a spot to set up camp. His dogs woke us up in the morning. We felt safe with Clyde nearby.

We loved camping at Home Gun Ranch. The land was beautiful and pristine. Clyde was a great host. The directions were simple, and we could pick any spot on the land to camp which made our visit even more enjoyable. We chose a nice spot near a grove of trees and wildflowers.
Clyde’s dogs came out to visit us every day, and even stayed to hang for a bit. They were super sweet. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, and watching the horses graze. We would definitely stay here again.

This place is amazing! Wide open camp site choices, super secluded and quiet. The host is so great! There are also very friendly dogs that like to come by and visit. They were the highlight of my kids' week there. Only 45 minute drive away from amazing hiking. Stores are close by and there is a port a john.

Wonderful 80-acre campground

Home Gun Primitive Campground
Clyde was an incredibly friendly and accommodating host who did his best to make our stay on his beautiful 80-acre dispersed camping area as enjoyable as possible. It was a pleasure learning of his Blackfoot heritage and how the surrounding land is part of that too. The campsite is close to St. Marys (no timed entry reservations needed for this entrance), but far enough to escape the crowds. We definitely would stay there again if we return to the Glacier National Park area!

Camping on Clyde's land was refreshing in contrast to how busy West Glacier was. It was close to the East Entrance and allowed us to drive the Going to the Sun Road on our time frame and enjoy Glacier in a more relaxed and calm manner.

Beautiful land and the best view of the stars. Can finally say I’ve seen the Milky Way, and soooo clearly! Gets a bit windy out there so keep that in mind if you’re in a tent.

We're on a road trip out West and this was our favorite place to camp by far! Clyde was very attentive and the camp was gorgeous. It's nestled in the mountains with acres of land. You can choose your camp wherever and see for miles. Very private, highly recommend!!

Beautiful spot! Rolling hills, spotty forest, plenty of space to explore, what more could you ask. Two small suggestions:: use the road closing polls by the creek as a guide and include the road number, 8 as a guide. I really enjoyed my stay.

Loved staying on Clyde’s Land! We had 88 acres to ourselves to explore and it was absolutely beautiful. Super close to east glacier park, which was mostly closed this time of year but west glacier was open.
We had some connection issues which meant we couldn’t find our way, Clyde was super helpful getting us to our site. Two of his dogs visited us briefly one day before running off. Loved our time there.

The beauty and the location between everything. It was truly breathtaking stay. Bring a tent that can take on wind, we had one night it was windy. But it was still an awesome stay. I’ll be back.
