I drove into Whispering Pines weary from travel, seeking a well-earned rest and recharge. I am very pleased to say I received that and more.

Tucked away where the Kalispell Valley meets the pines, you'll find this campground. Its peaceful here, but the amenities of the city are close by. The views are great. The sunrise on my last morning lit up the entire mountain range to the East. The sun sets in a spot that allows you to see out for miles, as the sky continues to glow well after the sun has disappeared from frame. On a clear day, you can even see Heaven's Peak in Glacier National Park from your campsite.

And the night sky is marvelous. The shower was very well thought out: great water pressure, endless heat, and an open roof to stare up at the stars. I will not forget that shower experience for a long time, soaking under the Big Sky.

The last thing I'll say is that the campground host, Charles, is very welcoming and attentive to your needs. The kind of host that makes sure you have clean facilities every step of the way, but leaves your space to enjoy your time the way you want to. We kicked it off right away. It's very clear that he is a nice guy who simply enjoys sharing his love of the state with you.

TLDR; Try this place out, you'll be glad you did.
