Arriving at Camp Your Arrival Time
Camp Melita Island’s uniqueness as an island requires boat shuttle transportation. Therefore, each unit will be assigned an arrival time. Your unit’s camp coordinator will be contacted before camp with your arrival schedule. While we try to accommodate arrival time requests, we ask that you plan your travel to arrive at Melita Island Gateway at your assigned time. Campers will be transported according to their scheduled arrival time. Sunday lunch is not provided. Please plan accordingly. Getting to Camp: Melita Island Gateway Our access to camp is from the Melita Island Gateway . This is where your vehicles will be parked during the week. If coming from the south, go north on Hwy 93 through Polson approximately 15 miles. Look for mile marker 76. Just past the mile marker is the entrance to Melita Island Gateway. If coming from the north, go south on Hwy 93 through Elmo. Look for mile marker 77. Turn left just before mile marker 76 into the entrance to Melita Island Gateway. IMPORTANT TRAVEL NOTE: If you use a GPS, please put the exact address in or use Melita Island Gateway.

Early Arrivals Due to planned construction at Melita Island Gateway during 2025, we cannot accommodate early arrivals for the 2025 season. Please plan accordingly if your unit requires nearby accommodations due to travel times. Due to our proximity to Glacier National Park, many nearby campgrounds fill quickly. Big Arm State Park is approximately 10 minutes from Melita Island Gateway and fills up early.
