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

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.

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.

If you attract mosquitos as I do, then bring lots if deet; it's the only thing that works. The camp host is a professional at keeping the outhouse super clean.

Policies & Rules

General

  • Check in is at 2:00 p.m.
  • If a site is not available for reservation online, it is shown as a first-come, first-served (FF) or walk-in (W) site. These sites will be identified at the campground on maps and campsite post markers with a W. First-come, First-served sites may already be taken as this cannot be updated on the Recreation.gov website. You may try to call for availability.
  • Reserved sites will be held until check out time (11am) the day following your arrival date. Sites must be occupied by the checkout time of that following day to hold a reservation or the site will be forfeited and released.

  • You are allowed 2 passenger vehicles per site, the first vehicle is included in the site fee and an extra vehicle charge of $5.00/vehicle per night will be collected at the campground. Sites that are identified as double occupancy can accommodate an additional camping unit. In this situation, you will be charged for each camper.
  • Drop Camping is illegal without a Forest Service permit. If you rent a camper it may not be delivered by the owner.
  • There is a food storage order in effect on the Flathead National Forest. Know how to store all attractants all the time. See your Campground Host for more information or visit: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/flathead/recreation/?cid=stelprdb5347448
