We arrived here one day early as we intended to stay in Missoula, Montana on July 22, but all campgrounds were full, so we continued onto Polson, Montana, on the southern shore of Flathead Lake ( the largest lake west of the Mississippi River). As it turned out campgrounds were full here too because of some basketball tournament going on in town this weekend. We left messages at several campgrounds to call us if a cancellation occurs while we were on the road. We needed to dump our holding tanks and refill water as we have been dry camping for four days in Boseman, Montana area. We were preparing to spend the night at Walmart in Polson when we received a call from Flathead River Resort that they had an available site for the night. We gladly took it and it was a very nice park located on the Flathead River one half mile from downtown Polson. All sites were pull through with full hookups (50 amp electric, sewer, and water). All but 2 of the sites were owned by private owners, and there were no facilities as pool, spa, and no one manned the office. While this park was on the river, no RV sites had a view of the river; those were taken up with mobile homes. The park was well maintained, but at $60 per night I found too pricey for us. I rate this park P****.
We stayed one night and spent the second night on the same river adjacent to Sacajawea park. There was 48 hour free parking here and we had a great view of the river and satellite reception to boot. We did not extend our street side slides as it would obstruct traffic. I rate the free parking spot P****.
We took a ride around the whole lake one day to check out campgrounds and all were booked. They are known for cherries here and we did stop in a local market/gas station and purchased some..They were yummy.
