This was our 2nd stay at The Back of the Moon. First time we stayed at the Wolf Moon site and this time at Buck Moon. Wolf Moon is a little bigger with a picnic table for hanging out and eating outdoors. Buck Moon is a little smaller but still plenty of space. It is a peaceful spot and sits up on the hill with a filtered view of the pond at the nearby resort. Carolyn is an outstanding host, very helpful and gracious. Highly recommend!

We spent 3 nights in the yurt here. It rained quite a bit and the temperatures got pretty chilly, but the yurt had an electric heater, that kept us more than comfortable. 2 adults, 2 children under 10 and our dog. We had plenty of room outside to cook and hang out. The yurt was thoughtfully arranged to feel plenty spacious and comfortable for the 5 of us. You cannot beat the location of this hipcamp. We spent 3 days in the park, but it is conviently close to Kalispell and Whitefish as well. We will definitely stay again.

Our little family (2adults, 2 young kids, 2 labradors) absolutely loved Carolyn’s spot, such a great find! We towed our camper up to Wolf Moon and stayed for the Whitefish Trailblazer races in the fall. The property was beautiful and secluded. Tucked into the woods behind the Haymoon resort. The property was easy to find via google maps, and Carolyn was super responsive (even well before we booked!). The site has a 30/20 amp hookup and water available, just brought our hose to hook up & close to a free RV dump in town at the Cenex. Honestly the perfect little weekend, even with the colder weather & rain. Would 100% recommend this spot & Carolyn as a host, she was wonderful!

The site fit my needs for a place to camp while reffing soccer at the nearby Smith fields. The two sites are next to each other, but the other one was empty so I had plenty of privacy. The toilets were clean even if one was about out of paper. You can hear highway 40 due to the proximity, but it was not bad just some white noise. I would return.

Kim’s yurts and tent spaces are the perfect get-a-way! I loved staying there!

This was a great stay at wolf moon. Site was easy to find and pull into. Carolyn was easy going and helpful with all that we needed but was not overbearing and respected our privacy. The proximity to the road made it easy to get in and out of for a quick one night stay. The area was clean and quiet.

What a PERFECT place for all of the many activities surrounding here! I ended up extending THREE additional nights. Less than 20 minutes to the west entrance of GNP. Several small towns within minutes to explore. Columbus Falls (Gunsight Saloon), Hungry Horse (see the dam), Coram (Paul Bunyan bar & grill) Fishing. Kalispell and Whitefish are also close by. The site is very close to fishing access on the Flathead River. Many restaurants, coffee shops and activities nearby. Safe location behind the owners residence made me feel comfortable leaving the RV and heading out to explore in my tow vehicle. Some road & distant train noise, but turn on a fan for white noise and it goes away. Easy in, turn around , flat camping spaces. I am here in “off season” and only one other camper is here. Even in busy season the sites are laid out far apart, that each site can have distance. Much better than a RV park. Open field, so solar is easy. Super quiet and friendly hosts!

We found Richard’s RV site just as expected from his pictures and description. It’s was very pleasant to have a place all to ourselves and an added bonus to be greeted by his beautiful friendly dogs. We sat at the picnic table just under the trees and enjoyed the view of the mountains. His place was just 20 minutes to the entrance of Glacier Natl park where we spent 3 days. And we were also able to enjoy restaurants and live music in Columbia Falls at a fine place suggested by Richard. We will definitely plan to stay here again next time we visit the area.

Overview
About
Serene views of white-capped mountains and sparkling, green waters will trick even the smartest camper into thinking they’ve come to Whitefish Lake for peace and quiet. Think again, because this state park is all about adventure. Less than a mile away from camp you’ll find the enviable Whitefish trail, a perfect path for hiking and biking, and a short drive farther is the Whitefish Mountain ski resort. But you don’t have to leave Whitefish Lake to get your adrenaline fix; the lake serves as the perfect playground for boating, waterskiing, fishing, and swimming. When a full day of watersports gets the best of you, Whitefish Lake’s sandy beach is ideal for an afternoon nap. Days begin with watching the sunrise over the mountains, and we promise that stunning view will be the most boring part of your day at Whitefish Lake.

- RV enthusiasts can enjoy spacious sites up to 40 feet in length, ensuring a comfortable stay.

Nice small campground; amenities kept up well and the beach is a nice place to picnic and hang out. The trains may or may not bother you; I find them far less annoying than loud generators or people. Some sites in the upper loop are quite cramped if you have a tent since they're mostly asphalt pad.
The campground has some of the best hiker biker sites I've come across; they even have a Park repair stand.

Three important things to know about this campground... amazing location, very clean, and near railroad tracks. The campground is on the edge of Whitefish, MT which is an amazing place. The lake is beautiful and there are multiple places to rent SUPs and kayaks. They rope off a portion of the lake for the park. The campground restrooms and amenities are very well kept. The staff truly takes pride in park. The trains are an issue for some because they run all day and night. I always bring a pair of earplugs when I go tent camping to block out the noise. They do the trick.
