This remote cabin was built in 1908 and served as an administration building for the Wolf Creek District of the Blackfeet National Forest. The Blackfeet NF was dissolved in 1935 becoming part of the Kootenai & Flathead NF. Fairview was used as a remote work station until 1980. In 2011 major work was done to restore the cabin and put it on the rental system. The cabin is open year-round and is accessible by car.
Opportunities abound from this location. Hiking, fishing, floating, hunting, scenic and historical driving tours are just some of the activities to be enjoyed.

Beginning off season, pull through site with water and electric. Uncrowded, convenient, but close to highway so a bit noisy. Bathrooms could use some heat and attention.
Guide
We picked this park for convenience while having travel trailer brake issues. Came at close of season, and thankful for a later evening check in. A little disconnect to obtain a bathroom Code. Fortunately we saw camp hosts walking dogs to gain access. Dog friendly, including nice gated area for off leash.
Traveler
This campground was very cute. The owners were so friendly and accommodating. The resident cat Poncho was a hot with our kids. The showers were small, but we're hot and free! The lawn was great with a communal fire pit and small playground. They let travelers camp there for 12 per person per night in a tent if that's what you're looking for. The cafe was cute and the drinks were delicious. We didn't eat, but it looked good! I would stay here again foe sure.
RangerThis place was nice. The staff was so friendly. Cafe with giant cinnamon rolls hit the spot. Showers were nice and hot. We were in the middle of tall trees which provided shade later in the day. Nice big dog park. Location is close the west Glacier entrance

I stayed here in December of last year over the holidays and had a great experience. The manager, Paige, was awesome. Very accommodating and nice. The check-in experience was quick and easy and the spot was great. My family and I had a great time and plan on coming back in the future. Town was close by and we were able to see all the destinations we wanted to nearby.
TravelerWe stayed for 2 weeks this summer and loved everything about our stay. The park was very clean and well maintained and the manager was lovely. You can tell she loves her job. The park is very conveniently located, only 15 minutes from Glacier and a short walk to town. We had dinner at Gunsight Saloon and picked up fresh steaks from Perfect Cuts Specialty Meats. Bathrooms and showers we better than expected and the park wasn't full of noisy families.
Guide
Owners were very accommodating, we snuck in on their closing weekend to visit glacier national park. The showers were clean and hot, owners were courteous and so nice. And the view of the sunset from the lakeshore is amazing!
Guide
We had a space near the dog play area which is very nice. Local employees come in the evening for talk and dog play-nice people and nice dogs. Great wifi laundry and showers. Room for big rigs. There is road noise
Guide
We had an amazing time here! The views can’t be beat and to have adult saunas and hot tubs is 👍🏼👍🏼! The on-site restaurant was good, drinks from the airstream were excellent and the nightly live music was great! Proximity to the park and shopping in Kalispell or Whitefish was close too! We’d definitely visit again!
Traveler
Great place. Well-kept, clean and tidy. The staff helps with everything needed. There is space for walking around and grass for children's games and just sitting in front of the view of the forest. Although a bit expensive, these are the prices around Glacier.
RangerWe had a beautiful site with a view of the mountains. Our dog Bentley loved the spacious while we enjoyed the delicious cinnamon roles from the bakery at the General Store! 😋
The Resort is located a short 2.5 miles from the entrance of Glacier National park. So it doesn't take long to get out to you favorite hiking trail or lake for boating or swimming.
GuideWe stayed in site F16. It is close to the main lodge and the cafe.
The showers and bathrooms were very clean.
The campground is about 1 mile from the west entrance of glacier park!

Great place to stay! Simple and nothing fancy, but kept up and owner is super nice. He seemed to always be running around tending to people arriving and working on maintenance.
It was a quick drive to get to west entrance of Glacier (especially early in the am when you dont have a reservation) and reasonably priced. He has juneberries on property and let me pick them. They were everywhere. Got a couple of good breakfast smoothies and a lot of local spots with Huckleberry items.
Traveler
Absolutely gorgeous campground, with so much space and fun things to do. The gazebo/pond area was a tranquil little spot to read a book while lying in the hammock. Jake took the time to chat to me and gave me an oil change recommendation despite being in the middle of working. These guys really care about their campground and the amount of love that’s put into it is obvious.
I must mention the restroom. It’s spotless. It. Does. Not. Smell. 😂 Extremely convenient to Glacier National Park, and some other fun places like Flathead Lake.
Saw some deer and lots of cute lil chipmunks and dragonflies.
Highly recommend!
ScoutClean bathrooms and showers. Friendly staff. The landscaping and flowers are lovely. Live music every night during peak season - so don’t stay here if you want something quiet. Beer , ice cream and restaurant on site.
GuideWe stayed in an Rv site with a tent site. It was perfect for our 3 generations of campers. The grandkids loved the pool and the Gaga ball pit. Kids loved the music each night. Grandparents liked the tie die and ice cream shop! We loved the proximity to the west gate of Glacier. The park is very well kept. We used laundry and showers.

Jake from the Dyrt here! Park Place in Montana has a great quiet spot to bring your camper, setup a tent, or stay in their cabin and enjoy some time away, while also having lakes and other conveniences not too far. Check them out and share your stay on the Dyrt!
ScoutPerfect for park or visiting Whitefish. Area was clean.

Place very friendly clean showers bathroom are clean .
GuideWe really liked this campground. Sites are shady. The cafe serves a good quality and imaginative menu. Hang out at the lodge for WiFi. Staff and other campers were very nice. Only negatives were loud music from a neighboring campground and only 4 showers for each sex for a pretty large campground. Still, the showers were included in the price, so that’s nice.
ScoutCould not have asked for a better place to base our short-but-sweet visit to Glacier National Park earlier this month. The grounds are lovely & well situated. The sites themselves and the campground amenities (ie the outhouse restrooms) are kept clean and in good working order; the gazebo area near the pond is amazing esp if you have kids: grassy area to play, access to kayaks and a rowboat, and even a homemade zipline(!). Sites are well spaced and beautifully cared for by Jake and his family, who greeted us with freshly made lemonade and made all of us feel super welcome. The location is very convenient, just a few minutes drive to the West Glacier entrance to the park, minutes from a local grocery store and down the road from a fun center (!) with some cool non-park activities for kids and grown-ups who might need a little “break” from nature. :-) We would highly recommend and hope to return one day soon!
GuidePerhaps the nicest KOA we have ever stayed at! Clean bathrooms, Ice cream, cafe, adult beverages. Our only complaint was that there was live music every evening and the sound bellowed across the campground.
GuideIf you like camping stacked tent to trailer, this is your place. I can't believe how many sites they crammed into this small area.
TravelerEverything on campus was built tough, built to last: the fire pit area, the campus store, the sitting area behind the store, the planters…even the volleyball net posts had new caps fitted on them so the water wouldn’t get down in there and rust the metal. Very well maintained. AND they have propane filling ON SITE. Great place.
Guide
Conveniently located right next to Going to the Sun Road on the west side of Glacier National Park. This campground is beautifully maintained with a friendly staff and spotless, large bathrooms/ shower houses. The sites are all pull thru and have plenty of space between your neighbors.
GuideNot the most luxurious camp site, but was great for tent camping. Had a water spiket and electricity on site. The bathrooms and showers were nice. The owner was great. Loved that it was close to Glacier but also close to town for easy access to groceries and gas. Was only going to stay for one night but ended up staying for 5.
TravelerWe typically avoid private campgrounds. This one though was different. Amazing proximity to the west entrance of Glacier NP (but west side of Glacier NP is basically closed until July 1.) and a 1.5ish hour drive to the East gate and Two Medicine. We have a 25ft camper and the site was more than big enough. The camp sites were very well maintained but still felt like you were out in the woods camping. Good space between sites. Sites have a fire pit(only allow fires in their ring) and we did a water and electric hook up site. Dumping is free or you can pay them to come and dump your tanks on site. There is also a laundry room. We were very impressed.
