Situated just east of downtown Kalispell, the park enjoys a prime location that feels secluded despite its proximity to local services. The most striking feature is the riverfront access, where guests can watch the water flow or enjoy the rustle of mature evergreens that provide natural privacy. The surrounding landscape transitions from the urban conveniences of Kalispell to the rugged wilderness of the Northern Rockies, providing a perfect middle ground for travelers who value both nature and accessibility.

Many sites are designed with plenty of shade and include individual picnic tables and fire rings, ensuring a comfortable outdoor living space during your stay.

For water enthusiasts, the massive expanse of Flathead Lake is just to the south, offering endless boating and fishing opportunities. Local highlights include the historic Conrad Mansion Museum and the charming shops of Kalispell. Hiking, golf, and wildlife viewing are all easily accessible within a short radius of the park grounds.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an excellent choice for families and retirees who want a quiet, scenic stay without sacrificing modern utilities or proximity to town.

Just did 5 days in a tent at this park after going all over the east coast, this is the nicest, best campground out of dozens I have stayed at thus far. Mary was an excellent camp host. Heather working the office was very helpful. It was so clean, staff professional, showers hot! We drove around and saw other campgrounds and nothing even compares with the beauty and campsite set up, they can accommodate just about any rig it looks like too! If I am ever back this way its a no brainer where to stay.

Our site right on the Flathead River was quiet and beautiful. Level, fairly spacious sites. Management very responsive to questions and concerns - although there were not many concerns. Clean and quiet.

I had a wonderful night's camping here. Very friendly and helpful camp host. It is so nice to have a friendly check in process at the end of a long day of riding. The tent sites are wonderful soft grassy areas with a picnic table. I can't emphasize enough how nice it is to pitch your tent on grass and not gravel. There is road noise from the nearby busy road but that is unavoidable considering the location. I would certainly stay here again in the future.

This RV park is a true hidden gem. It was suprisely one of the most peaceful and private places we have stayed all year. Mary, who works in the office, was a literal angel. Such a kind soul and always eager to help us in any way she could. There is a huge lawn area for your dogs to run and the trees on the property were gorgeous. We enjoyed walking by the river and the laundry room was updated and nice. 10/10

This is an amazing, comfortable, friendly, peaceful campground on the Flathead River. Our campsite was right on the river. Absolutely wonderful. Our check-in was seamless and Mary at the front desk is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. In the evening after a very warm day she came by the campsites with ice cream bars!!! Her manager Sheena is the mastermind behind this heartwarming campground. We wish we could stay longer.
