    Large, quiet dispersed spot

    Dispersed spot in the flathead national forest. Did some group camping here. Nice and open, however it was absolutely littered with trash. Some a moose!

    Sheldon Mountain Trailhead Camp

    Nice equestrian campground!

    It’s Saturday and no one is here but me. Picnic tables, metal fire rings with grills, vault toilets. Big pretty pine trees! I get one bar of Verizon service but it’s not very useful.

    Cedar Creek Trailhead - Overnight Dispersed

    Nice spot at the end of the day

    Cedar Creek trailhead is not officially a campground but the parking lot can be used for camping at after 5PM.  It is not massive lot, but there is plenty of space for five or six tents or car campers.  A spring runs next to the lot and if you have a filter, its makes for a great place to resupply on water.  

    I stayed here in June 2022 and had no issues with locals driving up.

    Just Past Schnaus Cabin Dispersed

    Awesome spot by the North Fork River

    We stayed here in June 2019 while on a motorcycle trip.  The area is a large open spot, known to the locals, down by the river.  There are no facilities, but if that is what you are looking for, its a perfect spot.  We only had one other camper (in a car) and it was very clean.
