Outback is your base camp for mission MONTANA THINGS TO DO: •FLATHEAD LAKE Flathead Lake is the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi in the lower 48 states, with over 200 square miles of water and 185 miles of shoreline. Recreation on and around the lake includes sailing, power boating, waterskiing, swimming, fishing, picnicking, and camping. In the summer, roadside stands along the east shore offer a variety of locally grown cherries, apples, plums, and other fruits. •GLACIER NATIONAL PARK Experience Glacier's pristine forests, alpine meadows, rugged mountains, and spectacular lakes. With over 700 miles of trails, Glacier is a hiker's paradise for adventurous visitors seeking wilderness and solitude. Relive the days of old through historic chalets, lodges, and the famous Going-to-the-Sun Road. Explore Glacier National Park and discover what awaits you. •FLY FISHING The Flathead River system of northwestern Montana offers memorable fishing opportunities. From sites of easy access to that remote wilderness, the Flathead waters can provide diverse fishing experiences. Three main branches, the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork, eventually come together to form the main stem of the Flathead River that flows into the 28-mile-long Flathead lake. Access to the three forks and the main Flathead is readily available in places, but to effectively fish the best of the Flathead, floating is suggested. The hardest thing about fly fishing in this part of northwestern Montana is keeping your eye on your fly and not the spectacular scenery. •BIGFORK SUMMER PLAYHOUSE The Bigfork Summer Playhouse was founded in 1960 by Dr. Firman ‘Bo’ Brown and his wife Margery Hunter Brown as a place for University of Montana theatre students to perform in the summer. In the early days of the Bigfork Summer Playhouse, the company ate group meals, rehearsed, and lived in the same place. There were no facilities to build scenery, nor extra storage of any kind. As a matter of fact, the building didn’t even belong to the Bigfork Summer Playhouse — it was a Community Hall owned by the Masons and the Eastern Star and seated approximately 200 people. The summer group would rent the facility and bring in the stage, risers, and seats for the audience. We’re pleased to say that now the playhouse is a 435-seat air-conditioned theater with great fly space, a spacious lobby that contains a concession area, and wonderfully comfortable continental-style seating for hundreds of guests. Numerous spaces off-site to accommodate production needs including a dormitory facility for the actors; living quarters for the directors, technicians, and musicians; costume shop; scene shop; and rehearsal space. •SPARTAN RACE Spartan Race is a series of obstacle races of varying distance and difficulty ranging from 3 miles to marathon distances. They are held in the US and have been franchised to 30 countries including Canada, South Korea, Australia, and several European countries. The series includes the Spartan Sprint, the Spartan Super, the Spartan Beast, and the Spartan Ultra. •WHITEWATER FESTIVAL The Bigfork Whitewater Festival is celebrating 46 years of extreme whitewater action and community-oriented fun! This is the longest-running event in Bigfork and is one that the entire Flathead Valley looks forward to each year. Participants come from around the world to race. Spectators are also a huge part of this festival and come to enjoy the races and other events held in town. •BIGFORK FESTIVAL OF ARTS It was in May of 1978 when the idea of a Bigfork Festival of the Arts was first proposed. As so often happens in Bigfork, it started with a conversation on Electric Ave. between members of the community. The first festival was held on the first weekend in August of 1978. It was a resounding success despite the committee’s inexperience. The feedback from the community was very positive and the group agreed that it should become an annual event. Over the years, the festival has grown steadily to its current size. In 2019, there were more than 140 booths representing a wide variety of arts and crafts by nationally and internationally recognized artists and craftsmen. Festival attendance is estimated to be more than 6,000. •4TH OF JULY PARADE Bigfork knows how to throw a party. And when it’s our country’s birthday, Bigfork really knows how to celebrate. The centerpiece of the celebration is the annual parade through Bigfork which begins at noon. Bring your whole family to view our great parade to celebrate the birth of our country. The 4th of July Parade in Bigfork has been voted “Best Parade in the Flathead” year after year.

44) Dry Tent Site

Basic site that provided all you need so perfect for us passing through and checking out flathead lake area. Bathrooms and toilets were okay. Little outdated but heated and clean. We didn't catch the office being open but had a welcome package attached outside and didn't need assistance so worked for us. Wifi was only available upfront which is also fine if you don't need to look anything up for traveling. Felt safe and site was well kept with fire ring and Picknick table.

Really like the campground: quiet, clean, running water, toilets, and showers were great. This site in particular could have used more privacy and shade.

41A) Dry Tent Site

Loved the private and large tent site! Check in directions were very clear and the site has a packet for you at the check in spot if you show up late. We set up in the dark and had no problems at all. It was easy to find and not an overly huge campground but large enough where you feel as though you have your own personal space (more than other campgrounds). The price was very reasonable and a short drive to other activities and cities. The ease of booking was so appreciated as well as last minute availability. We would definitely recommend as well as stay here again should we be in the area! Warm showers and running water was great too! Very clean, safe and peaceful! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay ☺️

Great spot near flathead lake! Private, clean bathrooms, free showers, and helpful staff. Make sure to take a look where on the map you’ll be staying as some spots are further from the bathrooms than hoped. Other than that, would recommend.

43) Dry Camp RV or Tent

We had originally booked Dry Camp Site #43 based on the online description and discovered when we arrived that our 30’ trailer would not fit site #43 (site was described as 40’ L x 30’ W). Thankfully one of the employees on site, Mike, helped us switch to Camp Site #50, which we were able to easily back into. Pros - bathrooms/showers were clean, quiet/no noise from nearby campers, lots of trees, good location (close to Bigfork, Kalispell and Glacier National Park). Cons - dry camp sites are not accurately described, campground located on hill side, lots of meat bees, clean out station is located in a difficult area to use without blocking road.
