“Nice Enough Spot For Free”

It’s right on the river. No shade and mostly dirt for spots. I wish people there would pick up their trash and toilet paper, especially since there was a bathroom thirty feet away. It’s a but of a trek on a very bumpy dirt road.

Nearly all of the spots here could accommodate a large rig. We are in a 36ft motorhome and fit easily. This place is amazing! We're here in June so the river is too fast for kids to play in, and too deep, but it sure is beautiful here. There are 5 camping spots that could accommodate large rigs.

We moved to this location from a spot at North Fork Road. This had river access, but only 3 designated camping spots for campers. Plenty of space for tents. Only a pit toilet, no other amenities, real dry camping. The stay limit is sign posted to be 3 days, but campers at the other two spots stayed beyond that. It was peaceful at night with a little road noise. People were in and out all day to put rafts in the river, but did not detract from our experience. Would try to stay here again.

Nice open area for camping on the river. Pretty views, nice spots for tents and big rigs. About 20 minutes from the west glacier entrance. We loved it, felt safe. Only complaint would be that I wish the max stay of 3 days was longer, but I could see why it’s so short d/t the location. Road there is unpaved and bumpy but well travel... more

Road there is unpaved and bumpy but well traveled and fine for big rigs.

We scored finding an rv site here right by the water. There are 4 spots big enough for bigger rigs and tent sites are right by the river. Local put in spot because of the river access. The road was pretty washboarded out but doable, extremely busy road as well, very dusty. 4 miles on the dirt road from Columbia Falls and maybe about 3 ... more

The road was pretty washboarded out but doable, extremely busy road as well, very dusty. 4 miles on the dirt road from Columbia Falls and maybe about 3 miles coming from the other way down Camas Rd in Glacier. The camping limit in these free sites are 3 nights.

4.5 miles down a large but unpaved road. 3 spots at a popular river put-in site for rafters & kayakers. Fun river to cool down in but fast flow means too dangerous for kids unless over age 10 & strong swimmers wearing life jackets. No shade at campsites.

Since there were no reviews of this site we didn’t know what to expect, but it was a great find with 3 RV sites, and some tent sites too, all right by the river. Some day use of rafters and kayakers putting in and fly fisherman too, but it clears out at night. We had the place to ourselves at night except the first night of the 4 when there were two other car campers. No cell signal of any kind. It is a well maintained graded road coming in, but it is washboard so just go slow. The max length of stay at this campsite is actually 3 nights. We stayed 4.
