It was amazing! So beautiful and relaxing. We camped close to the water and had a blast. The on-site host was really nice and helpful. We are definitely going back.

Pro: next to a lake where kids amd adults had a great time playing im the water. We also saw a moose for the 1st time, amd were about 35 minutes away from the grand village entrance to rocky MT N. P.
Coms: bear area and no bear lockers, vault pit toilets, amd water was far from campsite. Little shade amd the heat was enough to cause the metal tent stakes to feel burning hot. Left after the 1st night even though we had paid for 2 nights.

Beautiful campsite. We were able to change sites because they are not all the same size and some won't work for 8 people even though that's what it says unless all 8 people are in one tent. The tent pads need to be bigger to accommodate 2 to 3 tents. Not all sites can do that. We LOVED the camp hosts - Jackie & Chris. Management is lucky to have them. They kept the campground clean and quiet. They were very friendly and provided information about the area. We already booked again for a couple of weeks from now and are looking forward to staying next summer.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
