Trail Head Base Camp

Description

The Trailhead Basecamp

Escape the crowds and experience a peaceful Montana homestead just minutes from Glacier National Park. The Trailhead Basecamp offers spacious tent and small RV sites on a quiet property outside Columbia Falls, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of hiking, floating the Flathead River, fishing, or exploring Whitefish.

Wake up to mountain views, enjoy the sounds of free-ranging chickens, and end your evening around the communal fire pit beneath Montana's incredible star-filled skies. Our goal is to provide a simple, affordable basecamp where you can slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience genuine Montana hospitality.
