Traveling to the Silver Knot

Harvest Hosts is a unique RV membership program with a large network of available hosts. So far, 6000 locations have opened their hearts and their homes and/or businesses to members of the Harvest Hosts RVing community. Through this program, members receive overnight accommodations with no camping fees in peaceful and serene places across North America. In return, members are asked to make a purchase to patronize the small business that hosts them. Of these Hosts, The Silver Knot is particularly special. Here, you can learn all about this location’s history, its operations today, its origins within the Harvest Hosts community, and what future visitors can expect to experience.

The History

The Silver Knot gives visitors a true “Montana Welcome”. Kurt and Traci Johnson, the owners, offer visitors a scenic drive as they travel past Crow Creek, up the drive towards a view of the breathtaking Mission Mountains. For years, the location has been operating as a destination wedding venue. However, because of COVID-19, their wedding bookings have dwindled. As a result, in the summer of 2020, they have decided to branch out and build a small campground. This camping area will eventually be made available to wedding families and their guests in future wedding seasons.

The Business Today

This stunning ranch mainly operates as a destination wedding venue, but, as mentioned above, they have recently branched out to include RV overnighters. Their location offers a picturesque view of Montana’s Mission Mountains only about an hour from Missoula, Montana. Many guests stop by on their way to Glacier National Park and comment on the property’s stunning backdrop, which includes a waterfall feature and a small pond, in addition to the mountains.On top of offering a fantastic wedding location, they have a small, on-site gift shop that offers local fruit wines, jams, honey, coffee, salsa, artwork, apparel, locally-made gifts, and more.
