Nestled between Woods Bay and Downtown Bigfork, Outback Montana RV Park is in a prime location for you to explore the BEAUTY that is Flathead Lake and Montana’s most spectacular national forests.
Our campsite is unique in that it is heavily forested, shaded, and outdoorsy. We’re not one of those paved glorified parking lots. Outback is an authentic camping experience. We provide everything from 50/amp pull thrus with full water and septic, to grassroots campsites where you can sit back and enjoy the stars.
A stones throw from Flathead Lake, our park is a short distance to several boat launches, and minutes from restaurants and activities ON THE WATER!
Come and enjoy Montana with us, we offer exceptional service and our staff is here to help with every aspect of your vacation in paradise!
From jct Hwy 209 & Hwy 35: Go 3-1/2 mi S on Hwy 35.
Only stayed here because everywhere else was closed. We were tent camping for $35. Glass and rocks in fire pit. They closed the restroom at 9am for cleaning for over an hour. Very inconvenient. Laundry is not in use. Would not reccomend tent sites here. Some creaoy gut pulled up at 10pm and sat in his car next to us for hours. Then left. Weird.
Sleezy sleezy business. I paid for a cabin in September for two weeks. They DENIED me the cabin because I got a great deal online. I had a confirmation. They took my money and sent me on my way with no explanation. When I talked to the owner she offered me a job!! Like what?? Sleezy. Low. They refunded my money a few days later saying I requested a cancellation. I don't know what kind of people these are, but beware of their business practices.
Campground is steep and sites/roads are tight for anything over 35 feet long. Even smaller rigs may have trouble with slides on both sides. I don't mind a smaller campground, but don't accept reservations for rigs that can't fit properly. I made my reservation 6 months before I visited and gave the actual length of our fifth wheel (not model number) I arrived and had to park on a 30 degree incline to check in. I then had the person checking my in comment on "how big" our camper was. It's 37' actual length and not one of the larger rigs on the road. Again, if they can't accommodate larger rigs, don't let them reserve sites. We managed to make it work, but have to re-connect and move over 4' to balance the slides between trees and dirt embankment. The trees weren't trimmed well and there was a lot of overhang and branches touching the rig. Leaving was fun, as we had off-camber turns, steep hills and had to go to the bottom of the campground to reverse direction and leave.
On a positive note, power was good and never went out, the shade was fantastic (do NOT count on Starlink though), the water and sewer worked fine, the site was level and the campground was generally clean, even if the "grounds-keeping" was lacking when it came to tree-trimming. I even liked the individual trash can at each site for convenience.
We had looked here a couple of years ago to move to when we bought an RV. That did not happen, however, this year, we made our dream come true! We bought an RV and are living in the RV park we originally wanted. The owner is absolutely amazing and so sweet. They employ folks that help with RV issues, trash pick up and a number of other things. It is nice and quiet here. The long termers keep to themselves but will say hi or wave when they see you. The park is HUGE! Dogs must be on a leash. They have little poop bag stations all up and down the roads in the park. There is a wonderful shower building that has two showers and several toilets. I cannot say enough about this amazing place! There are spots for tent camping, rv spots (winterized and not winterized), car camping, a volleyball net and much more. It is absolutely perfect for our family. They provide short and long term lot leases. These people are just wonderful. Such a breath of fresh air in such an unsure world now.
We stayed at Outback Montana RV Park & Campground because of its proximity (45 miles or so) to Glacier National Park, thinking the close location to the large lake nearby would be a positive. When we arrived, the full hook up site we had selected had the sewer on the wrong side of the site, and was not at all level. We requested a different site, and were able to hookup at the new site, and although the site wasn’t level, it was a bit better than the first. The sites were very narrow, and covered with gravel, and way too close to other sites. The site next to us was one that a family that worked at the campground was using. Although the temperature was not warm, or cold, they were running a very loud motor (ac?) all afternoon. In addition, two VERY loud pickup trucks were left on idle for long periods of time two different times, at the same site. So much for a peaceful camping experience! I was very disappointed we selected this campground. There is no place to walk from the campground. The facilities are being upgraded, so hopefully they will also improve the sites themselves. The pricing was WAY too high for the amenities (or lack thereof), and the narrow, hilly, and noisy sites.
