Pipe Creek used to produce stones of several different colors.

The toilets could have been pumped before we got there. Is there any truth to Timberline going public so we can't rent the whole campground?

The campground was beauiful, lots of area for groups and quiet. It had electricity in the pavilion, water there and plenty of tables for our group of 50. Also, there's a great pizza place about a quarter of a mile from the campground and only 7 miles out of Libby.

Not as good as past experiences. The dumpsters were already full when we arrived. The one outlet in the pavilion was not working and we had no way to flip the breaker. We also had another group show up at the campground to do a youth outdoor class. We were friendly and let them carry on, but were surprised when they informed us they were told that no one would be there.

Park police were extremely courteous and helpful when they came through. Campground is always a delight.
