We had 8 sites reserved for a family reunion.
Would you consider opening up the group site at Lid Creek. We stayed there before it was closed. Perfect camp location for reunions.
Need more speed bumps in Lid creek.

Nice remote campsite with an excellent host who was friendly and informative. Bathrooms were clean and did not smell. The ride to the site was a dream for motorcyclists. Twists, curves, beautiful scenery and the Dam was something to behold.

Trudy the host(ess) was welcoming and informative. The campground is great, cell service (for a service call on our RV) was a bonus.

Beautiful, peaceful, and quiet location and site overlooking the water. Wild flowers were in full bloom. Easy access to water to swim or put in your boats /yaks. Camp hosts were friendly, informative, and so on top of things! Be prepared for a bumpy road leading down to Lid - but well worth it! Definitely planning to go back and spend more time!

This campground is amazing! The drive across the Hungry Horse Reservoir Dam and along the lake shore to access the site is a wonderful experience in itself (though maybe not the best for those scared of heights). We really enjoyed our stay- the sites are well kept and relatively private. Easy access to the reservoir and sweeping mountain views. Last, the hosts are wonderful- kind, cheerful, and helpful! We felt secure and cared for during our stay :)
