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.

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 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.
