Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
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.

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.

Worked for us! Great access to flathead lake activities. Great view if you are camping on the ridgeline (campsite #1 and #2). Campsite #2 is very close to #1, so if both are booked, it would be a tight fit. There's a port-a-potty for restroom, and the hosts were friendly. Craig's son checked on us to ask if we needed anything and how we were enjoying the spot. The camping was pretty close to the host's house, but it worked out fine for us!

The host was responsive and friendly. The property is well suited for hosting a few campers and the view from the ridgeline is spectacular. 2 dogs and a cat were friendly as well. Water source was easy to use as well.

Great spot for camping and explorin
Very private spot. Close to flathead lake. A LOT of deer that walk through site, which we loved! Be careful driving around the area due to the amount of deer! Little hard to find but figured it out quickly. Bathroom is extremely clean and nicely placed.
