The planned development of an RV park in Happy’s Inn will go forward after the Montana Supreme Court recently affirmed a local district court ruling, according to The Western News.
Lincoln County District Court Judge Matt Cuffe ruled March 10, 2025, in favor of the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners and Parks Family Real Estate.
The Board of Commissioners approved a preliminary plat for the proposed RV park in September 2022.
A local coalition, the Thompson Chain of Lakes Stewardship Coalition, filed suit to stop the construction, then appealed to the state Supreme Court after Judge Cuffe’s ruling.
Parks Family Real Estate and Happy’s RV Park want to build a 21-acre park, which would include 63 RV sites and 20 tent sites. The park would be located just north of U.S. 2, across from Happy’s Inn.
