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.

It's a world-class view of Flathead Lake, very peaceful and quiet. His dog Chloe is a sweetheart, so friendly and cute.

Quiet and private camp. Centrally located to get to the Flathead lake area as well as Glacier NP. Craig was great and responsive and his friendly dogs were a highlight of the trip.

Not great but close to a lake.

The property was not very organized.. lots of clutter and equipment around. Craig was very nice. Brought us a picnic table to use. His dog Chloe on the other hand was a bit of a nuisance. I had read other reviews that she hangs around the sites but didn’t think it would have been so bad. Unfortunately, during our stay she had been sprayed by a skunk, stunk very badly the whole time we stayed there, and she kept coming around seeking attention from us. I had to shoo her away with a rake (without touching her). The outhouse was ok as it didn’t stink much. But the outhouse doesn’t have a toilet seat so you’re sitting on dusty painted wood opening. Not great. There was a bag to set up an outdoor shower, but we didn’t use it as we didn’t want to set it up …. It would have been nice if it was already set up for the guests. There is a big green open space that I felt was wasted space - could have had outdoor games area or some bbqs available for guests which probably would have made things a bit better. Turtle lake was beautiful and great access to flathead lake too. I won’t be returning or recommending this place to my circle.

Great view of the valley!

Craig’s property was great! There were multiple spots to choose from since we were the only ones there. There are no hook-ups or pre-made campsites, but spots on his land and an outhouse. His view over the valley and lake was wonderful. His dog Chloe is extremely friendly. We had an awesome experience!

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 Communication!

I unfortunately didn’t make it to the campsite due to mechanical issues, but Craig was very accommodating and gave great directions for finding the site! I’ll keep him in mind for the next time I visit Flathead Lake!
