Loved the remoteness of the cg. 40 min drive to main road. Beautiful setting. Lots of wildlife. And Ron was a wonderful gracious host that made us feel very welcome!

Camp host was very friendly and active. Bathrooms were clean and actually smelled great, considering. Sites were very private, beach was very clean and well maintained. Probably one of the best camp experiences I have had in a long time, will definitely be returning! Top tier camping, quite possibly my new favorite spot! From Calgary Alberta.

We have stayed at Hungry Horse for the past 8 years. This was our first visit to Lid Creek and it was by far the best camping experience. Ron, the host, was great, the bathroom was the cleanest I’ve seen in years. The campground was very quiet and accessible to the lake was great. I recommend reservations.

It was about a 30 min drive from the highway to the campground but it was a beautiful spot. We'd stay there again.

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.
