Travel

Flight

Glacier Park International Airport (FCA)

Kalispell airport is about an hour and a half drive from Libby. Delta, American, United, and Alaska all fly here. Allegiant and Sun Country also recently starting flying here, with limited service.

Flight

Spokane International Airport (GEG)

Spokane is a further drive, about 3 hours, but may offer cheaper flights. There's also great stops along the way including Coeur d'Alene and Sandpoint. If you have some extra time it would make for a fun little roadtrip! Alaska, United, Sun Country, Delta, Southwest, and Frontier fly into here.

Flight

Missoula Airport

Missoula is about a 3.5 hour drive from Libby, but offers some great non-stop flights from various midwestern and west coast cities. Alaska, United American, Delta, Sun Country, Allegiant, and Frontier all fly here.

Train

Amtrak

There is an Amtrak station in downtown Libby. The route runs all the way from the east coast to Seattle, and down to California. It is slow going, with a lot of stops, but it's pretty affordable. We traveled from Libby to Minneapolis on a 26-hour coach ticket, and it was surprisingly comfortable. There's very scenic stretches, wifi, and even a bar to pass some time. Protip: Pack a deck of cards if you choose this option!

Travel Note

Lets circle the wagons!

We would LOVE for guests to camp out with us for the weekend! Phone service isn't the best at the River Bend and it is about a 15 min drive to the hotel in town. Camping out eliminates the travel back and forth and ensures you won't miss any of the fun :) There is plenty of room to park your camper, van, or tent setup at the River Bend, but hookups are limited. If renting a camper, look into one with a generator and/or solar panel. There is water to fill your tanks and a dump on site should you need it. There are also bathrooms and showers on-site for your use. We'll prioritize the hookups for those staying for a longer period of time or for the campers without boondocking capability. If you want a little more privacy, there are several gorgeous camping options nearby: - Blackwell Flats: 7 sites; 0.5 miles away - Dunn Creek Flats: 13 sites; 2 miles away - Alexander Creek: 2 sites; 2.5 miles away **These 3 campgrounds are all FREE, first-come, first-serve, located right along the river. No hookups, but they have potable water, vault toilets, and private sites.

Alfresco RV Park

If you prefer to have full hookups for your camper, check out Alfresco RV park. It is just 2 miles up the road from the River Bend. They have about 20 sites available, and while it's not as scenic as some of the other options, they do have water, power, and sewer hookups for just $35/night. Unfortunately, they do not take reservations and are first-come, first-serve.

Camper Rental Options

If you do not have an RV but are interested in joining the campout, there are plenty of rental options in the area! Check out Outdoorsy.com or Rvshare.com where you can rent RVs from owner's directly (basically Turo but for campers). I highly recommend looking into drivable options (class A, class B, class C, or camper vans). These often come with separate "house batteries" or onboard generators to power the inside of the camper, making it very appealing for boondocking. Another added perk- driveable RVs are a lot easier to handle than towable campers. Not to mention, you won't have to worry about grabbing a separate rental car! If flying in, check out rental options close to the airport so you can uber there, or ask the host if they will drop the camper off to you at the airport!

For anyone flying into Spokane, with military base access, looking to rent a camper- check out Fairchild AFB Outdoor Recreation. They have a 18ft Minnie Winnebago and a 21ft Springdale travel trailer available for rent. The cost is only $250 for the entire weekend! It is very close to the Spokane airport (about 15 mins). Reservations can be made up to 30 days in advance. Call (509) 247-5920 for more information
