Site fits any size of camper  Centered in the middle of small dam town Hungry Horse, Montana, this off-grid RV spot is a perfect location for exploring Hungry Horse and the surrounding towns including Whitefish, Columbia Falls, Kalispell, and Coram. Convenient basecamp for GNP exploration, it's only a 10-minute drive to the West Entrance of Glacier National Park. The site is within walking distance of several restaurants, grocery store, laundromat, gas station, post office, bar, dispensary, and souvenir shops with local products. It is also within walking distance of the old Hungry Horse School (200 North St) that has a great playground for kids. At the RV site, beautiful mountain views can be seen in the distance. Relax at the rear of the site at the picnic table tucked in with nature. Set up your lawn chairs on the small hill in the rear for a perched view of the site amongst the trees. Across the street is a small mini farm owned by a relative. She has goats, chickens, ducks, among other animals that can be seen from the street. This site is in a neighborhood, so expect to hear some occasional neighborhood activity. If you are sensitive to noise when sleeping, you may want to consider earplugs. Hungry Horse Dam is 4.5 miles away, with construction first starting in 1948 and completed in 1953. At the time of completion, it was the second-highest and third-largest concrete dam in the world. Annually, it generates about a billion kilowatt-hours of power from the water passing through.

The Flathead Valley is known for its recreational activities including hiking, fishing, camping, biking, water sports, and observing local wildlife.

Great location for exploring west glacier. The small hobby farm across the street was cool as it reminded me of my youth growing up on something similar. The space was large and well kept. We stayed for 6 nights and easily could have stayed longer with all the hiking, biking and kayaking within a very close proximity.

Good host, but not a serene setting
Host was very nice and responsive via app. I would recommend if you just need a place to park to visit Glacier, etc., don’t plan to spend time at the site, don’t have animals, don’t require solar or generator power and don’t mind a loud neighborhood. If you do, you may be interested in the below: He did warn me of potential noise, both via the listing, as well as a message. It was Fourth of July week and specifically mentioned it may be loud. Despite the warnings, we were shocked by the noise level. Every afternoon and evening the entire week, not just the holiday, very loud fireworks were being launched from all directions. Most nights until after 1am. There was also loud noise from neighbors yelling, dogs barking, old diesel trucks accelerating, etc. In addition to the noise, it may not be the best place if you want to walk around the neighborhood, especially with pets. On four separate occasions we had unleashed dogs approach us in the street. Lastly, the host accurately described the site as wooded. I just confirming that is the case. The trees were nice for shade, and some degree of noise insulation and privacy. However, you will have trouble getting any solar energy anywhere but right next to the street. Generators also aren’t allowed, so plan on either not consuming much electricity or have an extensive battery bank. I had to leave the truck running while connected to the trailer for 20 minutes on the departure day to have enough battery to close the slides.

Local Bar can get loud
The site is very nice, it was level enough for our 38" motorhome and very convenient to the West entrance to Glacier. We stayed there Friday Saturday and Sunday nights, We needed to rise early to get into the park without reservations but had quite a bit of noise Friday and Saturday nights. This is not the fault of the host but due to the bar that is a couple of blocks away. Both nights there was a lot of noise between midnight and 3am. The first night it was vehicles roaring away and spinning tires, the second it was the same with some gunshots around 2:40am if my phone would have been in reach I would have called 911. We were getting up at 3:30am so we could do sunrise in the park and the noise made restful sleep difficult. Sunday there was an siren that went off about 9pm that upon investigation I found was to summon the volunteers to the fire department that is 1.5 blocks away. After that it was a quiet night. If we were going to visit Glacier park again I would stay here if it was Sunday thru Thursday nights but would probably not stay Friday of Saturday night if it were avoidable.

Overall, the place is cool. It’s a pretty spot with mountain views and trees all around. But I wouldn’t call it private. There’s a house directly in front of the property with a huge window, we tried to make that side a bit more private by parking our trucks between us but you can still see neighbors windows and doors through the side of the property. There’s a “quiet time”, when my friends couldn’t run their generator. Which is a quieter one. But there’s noise all nights from other people around, cars, it sounded like there were gun shots or fireworks, I’m not sure. Probably fireworks. If you’re camping with a small group of people who don’t mind going to bed early and you’re not a light sleeper, it’s fine. But I wouldn’t call it private. Zane was very friendly and answered all my questions quickly!
