Loved the group site. It was big enough for all of our group and spacious. It was beautiful and the trailhead was just steps away.

This was our first trip to this campground and it was everything we hoped for and more. The area is beautiful and the camp host was great! He was informative and accommodating and such a friendly face driving around the lots. The out houses were very well kept and the whole area was very well maintained. We were able to create such amazing family memories here and hope to be back next year

Lovely secluded campground with a sandy beach and coat launch into Koocanusa. The camp host was friendly and helpful. Lots of bathrooms and drinking water spouts around the campground. Beautiful cliff views of the lake from some tent spots.

Probably the nicest Forest-Service campground we’ve ever experienced. Spacious shady sites, very very clean, especially the restrooms. The camp host Daryl, was wonderful with great tips for things to do and see. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in NW Montana.

We love the area as well as the campgrounds. Everything was in tip top shape. The campground host was so helpful in helping us choose a site that best fit our needs as well as share activities and places we might want to go nearby. We had a great experience because he went above and beyond the usual campground host.

Clean, quiet, and in a beautiful location. We had a nice little hike to the lake. The site itself was pull-through with lots of space. During our stay the campground was nearly empty.

Awesome campground! A majority of the sites are pull-through, and close to water faucets and vault toilets. The walk to the lake is easy, but there isn’t much access to the water. Daryl is a very friendly and conscientious host.
