We had a lovely time at the cabin, the place is quiet and right on the water. We enjoyed it very much and all the amenities worked well

Loved the area, and our little micro cabin. super peaceful. Our dog loved it and the kids slept on the porch. It felt safe and peaceful. We are used to rustic off grid camping so it was exactly that. Will be back again!

I have traveled many places staying at campgrounds, but Montana is my roots, born in Kalispell. This is by far my favorite campground. Stayed last year for my birthday in the micro cabin & it was the peace i needed. ♋️🦀 Snagged a last minute camp spot this summer for the 4th, & it was fantabulous ⛺️🪶🤩
stoked for the next adventure when i get to visit again!
y'all are doing the damn thing ✌🏻

We had a group camp out. The campground exceeded my expectations ,very well kept. truly amazing place. The spiritual essence , plants, exude the love they are being given.. Eagles stayed in the campground near by us..playground for the children , nice dock, beautiful campsites, grills at the campsites, chais, kitchen area, outdoor living room set up , outdoor dining area set up, picnic tables , fire pits , even water and wood , some chairs , garbage bins, nice dock. ..everything one could need or want for comfortable camping..feel blessed to have found this place…We will be back..
My group loved staying here. It had everything we needed but in unexpected ways. It is run by a lovely family who clearly take pride in their campground. He mentioned that we would find the lake calm in the early morning, and sure enough - glass. So peaceful.

I had the deep pleasure of spending a few days at camp Kapapa. The land is very gentle and kind with many deep roots of family tribal history set in the trees, soil and land.. The owners, Louis and Keya, are just as gentle and hospitable. They have worked very hard to preserve their ancestral lands.. This is a must if you are a person looking for a meaningful, beautiful experience in Montana . I highly recommend it. I hope to go there many times more. Thank you Keya and Louie.
