River bottom forest and fields
Mike was very helpful and the campsite itself was in a secluded, beautiful location. However, we did not realize before reserving that the deck and the train cars were going to be used by family members during the days we were there. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but would have appreciated more privacy as that is the whole reason we had chosen Mike D's place.

Great place to relax with nice view of the river. Having a toilet was a great plus. Would recommend!

Mike has beautiful property not too far from town. There is a beautiful river, and while conveniently located in proximity to the highway, you don't get any noise at all. There is low light pollution, so the stars are absolutely amazing at night! I would recommend staying here if you are in the area, or passing through!

Super clean, unique and private location. Train cars add a very cool touch. Right on the river and away from people.

Beautiful site along the Clark Fork, and not too far from Missoula if you need any supplies. The cabooses are amazing, and the deck is great, too. Great host!

River bottom forest and fields
Spot worked perfectly for our needs, nice open, private space, water and electric and cool train cabooses for our son to enjoy! Host was great, and allowed us to arrive late and depart late. The road going in was a little rough, but not too long. Our 25ft travel trailer did fine, but I could see some rigs struggling a little with it.

This was a very interesting place to stay, to say the least. It’s pretty quiet and we didn’t have to worry about anyone else around us. However, we never had any communication with the host, the road leading into the site is incredibly bumpy, and there are no fire rings to have a fire. The only bathroom on-site is a porta-potty (which was quite clean!) and no place to wash your hands. If you need a relatively cheap place to stay, this would definitely work!

River bottom forest and fields
Mike was a great host and his repurposed trains make for a unique stay. The road into the river bottom parking spot was only slightly bumpy for our 24ft class C. The view from the deck in front of the trains looking out over the river and towards the mountains was lovely, though there was some highway and railroad noise. We loved walking our dogs along the retired railroad line.

Very secluded spot on the Clark Fork River. While water temperatures were low, the fly fishing was good. Spacious and quiet

The road in was a bit rough but we took it slow in our Subaru Outback. No prob. The site was very cool. It even had a big sign with the history of the railroad that used to be here. A lot of work went in to this place and they are still working on it to add on. Tent campers will find some flat spots with some careful looking. We car camped and were able to move around until we found a spot level enough. We were there one (Friday) night and met Mike's daughter, her family and dogs, who hung out for a while. In the morning at 8am Mike's dad came by to do some dirt work and move some logs with machinery. Everyone was very nice. This is a plot of family land that they use for personal recreation. It seemed like no one knew there would be campers present.
There is an old porta potty on site that my wife was not a fan of. The running water was a hose in a small building easy to get to. So setup a hand cleaning station when you setup your camp.

We booked Mikes place the night before arriving, and it exceeded our expectations. Cool spot to stay out of the hustle of town and crowds of campgrounds. The grounds were clean, the cabooses and Milwaukee rail history was a unique touch of history. Definitely Recommend! We have a long bed truck and a 32 foot 5th wheel, was a bit tight taking the turn into the property but non the less we made it! It was tight though. And as mentioned before, be prepared with bug spray!

This was my family’s first time using hip camp, and it was a great experience! Lots of room to set up on mikes land and loved how quiet and in the woods it was. Couldn’t hear or see any neighbors, out house was clean, and he was very friendly over the phone :) we will definitely be using hip camp again and give this one two thumbs up!!

Very cool campsite! Easy to access power hookup and water. Very cool and very convenient to the highway. I’d definitely try to arrive before nightfall as it gets super dark super fast!

This spot was so cool! I'm a huge train enthusiast so it was great to be here with the trains and a historical sign to explain it all. The view was beyond lovely and it's a 15 minute drive to the Kettlehouse amphitheater so it was great since we were there to see a show.
The Porta Potty was so nice and clean, there were soler lights so you could see where to "go" & there was just enough wood for the perfect end of night fire.
Don't be thrown off by the dirt road, it's easy and accessible. We will definitely be staying here again!

This is a great spot for camping if you are going to a show at Kettlehouse. Right along the river and wonderful for a peaceful morning coffee.

We had a quiet and peaceful stay at River Bottom Forest and Fields. Electric was an easy hook up. We didn’t need the water hookup that is available. The two cabooses parked on site are an interesting addition, complete with historic marker.

I almost don't want to write a review but it would be disservice to the family if I didn't. This place is a hidden gem that I don't want to share. It's in a secluded place and is great for anyone that wants a stay outside of Missoula.

Great first experience with Hip Camp. GPS directions were spot on and plenty of room. Even saw a bear on the road on our way back to camp later that night. Would stay again for sure.

Nice place to stay as a basecamp for Missoula! The caboose train cars were great to see and we enjoyed the space to relax by the river
