Such a beautiful place to camp with the family! The host was very sweet and knowledgeable, the lake was gorgeous, and the ATT cell coverage was a solid 3 bars the entire time.

It is a beautiful campground with well-shaded private spots. Very quiet. Beach area to sit or kayak and the road was paved all the way to the turn off. We will plan to go back.

Beautiful setting. Short walk to Hungry Horse Reservoir, beautiful sunrises & sunsets. No water available. Toilets were kept clean & camp hosts were always available.

Beautiful camp site!!! The lake is absolutely stunning! The camp sites are spaced a little strange for tents, seems like their more suited for RVs, that's the only reason I didn't give this 5 stars. The camp host was amazing, so friendly and accommodating. Cleanest bathrooms.

Good campground that's quiet because it's far enough away from everything but still close enough to all the sites. Would recommend!

Beautiful campground a bit of a drive from West Glacier but very worth it once you get there! The evening sitting by the water was incredibly peaceful and one of my favorite parts of my trip. Campground was very quiet and peaceful overall. Site 006 that I stayed at is definitely one of the smaller sites in the campground, so if you have more than 1 tent it could be a squeeze, but we were fine :)

Great location, really close to Glacier. The camp hosts were fantastic...

Only issue - the site numbering on the on-line map does not match the actual physical locations of the sites. We had selected site 14, which was supposed to be close to the lake and next to the toilet...it was not lake side and not near the toilet. Not huge issues but just be aware.

Nice, clean campground on a beautiful reservoir up in the mountains. Easy swimming and boating access.

Only downside I have is that it's 40 minutes up a winding, little road to the nearest town which is Hungry Horse. Makes access to other parts up there quite the journey every time.
