This property sits on a ridge line that ties into the Mission Mountains.  Very close to town but definitely in the wild.  Our views span the entire length of Flathead Lake and the Mission Mountains.  A clear day shows the beautiful Glacier Park in the distance.

Great view of the valley!
Craig’s property was great! There were multiple spots to choose from since we were the only ones there. There are no hook-ups or pre-made campsites, but spots on his land and an outhouse. His view over the valley and lake was wonderful. His dog Chloe is extremely friendly. We had an awesome experience!

My friend and I had an amazing time at Craig’s site! With an stunning view of the mountains and Flathead Lake the scenery was just beautiful. As well there was a very active forest all around with many deer. Only downside is the distance from the home on property felt close at times but overall this site helped make an amazing trip!

Great Communication!
I unfortunately didn’t make it to the campsite due to mechanical issues, but Craig was very accommodating and gave great directions for finding the site! I’ll keep him in mind for the next time I visit Flathead Lake!

Great site just outside of town
My partner and I stayed here for a couple of evenings on our way up to Glacier. Craig was great and was very communicative. When we arrived, he offered up campsite 3, which is out on the edge of the property and a little more secluded than sites 1 and 2. That being said, the views of Flathead Lake from sites 1 and 2 really can't be beat. We would definitely not hesitate to stay here again.

Gorgeous view, nice host
Craig is so nice! It was close to Polson, and a gorgeous view! Thanks for providing an outhouse! (And it wasn’t stinky!)

Stay here if you can!
This was probably our favorite site on our whole trip. Craigs directions were easy to understand and his place was simple to find. The view cannot be beat. His dogs are friendly and fun to play with. The outhouse was the cleanest I’ve ever seen. We would definitely recommend this spot and hopefully we can stay again sometime.
