Great campground find. A ways off the main road but well worth the drive time. Beautiful sites without feeling too close to your neighbors. A walk along the lakes shoreline was breathtaking.

Beautiful, spacious, and quiet campsites. We stayed in multiple campgrounds that were within an hour of Glacier National Park throughout the week and Lid Creek was our favorite.

Campsite was nice and quiet with an easy walk to the reservoir. The reservoir is beautiful! Bathroom was clean. There was no water available at site so bring your own to put out your fire. Camp host was friendly. The spot for the tent was really bumpy and uneven so we ended up putting the tent on the parking spot behind the car.

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
