Beautiful lake, lot of nice trails. The campground was nice and quiet. We were in spot 22 but don’t think we will choose that spot again. The vault toilet fumes were pretty bad. Other than that we enjoyed the campground

This was our second year at McGillivray Campground, and as much as we don’t want to rate it because we’d love to keep it our best-kept secret, we have to give credit where it’s due!
A huge kudos to the camp host and his spouse for doing such a great job. It is such a peaceful spot tucked away in the forest. Everything was kept clean and tidy throughout our stay. Our dogs absolutely loved swimming in gorgeous Lake Koocanusa, and we couldn’t have asked for better weather.
Another fantastic stay, and we will definitely be back next summer!

McGillivray Campground is a wonderful remote location in Northwest Montana. The campground was not crowded and the sites were not overused helping making the stay pleasant. The group site (#23) was clean and large enough for our party of 12. (Some of the party used nearby sites.)
Our three month old grandson was able to meet all his uncles and was the star of the weekend.
The Libby Dam Generator Room tour was a highlight as my family of nerds delighted in seeing the big equipment and a generator in thousands of pieces.
Only remember to keep the camp bear safe by not leaving trash out like we did. In our case it was a skunk that found the trash and had to be run off at two in the morning. Fortunately nothing foul occurred and the trash was secured in a vehicle.

This was a fantastic campground if you don't need any hookups! Clean pit toilets. Quiet location near the lake. We will definitely stay here again when in the area!

Great campground, large camp site, clean bathrooms, plenty of garbage disposal bins, water. A bit of a trek to the swimming area but very nice place. Will visit again.
