Great sit and great campsite! Loved our time there even with a little bit of rain. Right on the Hungry Horse reservoir, which is beautiful.
Stay here!

This is one of the most private, beautiful, relaxing spots we’ve ever camped in! Stunningly lovely! (But not for the glamper, as there are vault toilets and no water available.)

It was a great spot. However, if you are looking for a quiet place to camp do not go over a weekend. There were people partying and playing very loud music. The same people let their kids wander the campground until almost midnight. Kids were screaming and running through our site it was the opposite of relaxing. However, once they left it was nice and quiet. I would definitely recommend going during the week if you want a more peaceful experience. If you want to party and like staying up late, go on the weekends.

Camp site was great, the host came over right after we arrived to introduce himself. The bathrooms were clean and stocked with toilet paper. Reservoir was amazing.

This CG is in a beautiful setting with lots of trees and close to the water with a decent beach. The host/hostess is part time so bathrooms and sites weren’t adequately attended to. Our site, #18, had quite a slope so thankfully we had plenty of blocks to lift and level. Some sites are narrow and short so be aware when reserving. We will definitely come back but probably pick a different site.

Awesome campsite, and very cool being right next to Hungry Horse Reservoir and an easy drive into Glacier Nat Park. Nice bathrooms and the campsites are spaced out well. The ground is really tough, so if you're tent camping, just know you likely won't be able to drive stakes into the ground. They had a bear box for food storage, campfire ring, picnic table. My buddy had decent internet, but with verizon I only had like 1 bar of service. Overall though it was a great campsite, and I'd def come back and recommend this campsite to friends as well. Driving over the Dam was super cool as well.

Such a beautiful location and great, private sites. We appreciated how clean the toilet areas were, and the host on site was very pleasant. The proximity to the reservoir was amazing! Everything was very quiet in the mornings and at night. The only feedback we have would be that people did not keep their dogs on leashes and that is a rule and an expectation.
