July 24 we left Flathead Lake and took a scenic route 28 west to route 200 north. Beautiful ride along the Clark Fork River. We left late after attending mass at the local church in Polson, Montana. We arrived at our campsite at 4:30 PM in the Kootenai National Forest. Our GPS took us off track up a residential area which turned into a one lane dirt road. We had to detach our toed and were ready to back into a helpful residents driveway when another resident came by and escorted us one half mile up the dirt road to a turn around point and Aggie followed in the Tahoe. We would not have found this on our own as the turn off point was in the middle of the woods with high grass between some tight trees. This campground is located on the Bull River which empties into the Clark Fork River nearby. Campsites along the river had great elevated views of the lake, our's was not one of them and we were surrounded by trees just off the river view sites. Aggie loved being under the trees, but I could not get satellite reception so we had our first campfires of our trip. The sites were well spaced and many could handle a 40 footer. There was water, trash, pit toilets, picnic table and fire pit at each site. I did take out the kayak both days we stayed here and did find a bald eagle on the other side of the river. We paid $5 per night for 2 nights with our senior pass. I rate this park F***.
