Our campsite was close to a great swim beach at Lake MacDobald, the campground hosts were friendly and knowledgeable, we were allowed to have a campfire and the weather was great. A one-night stay, but beautiful and memorable1

I had a great stay. The campsites in Apgar are bigger than Many Glacier, which I know are hard to get. There are three free showers available in Apgar located near campsite A26--so, if you want easy access to showers then I recommend finding a campsite near there as walking there may be somewhat of an inconvenience (<10 min. walking). I just drove to it since there is parking available for a handful of vehicles. The showers are pretty spacious and plenty of hot water available. There is a walking/biking path straight out of loop C (this campsite) that goes directly to the Apgar Information center and Apgar village--maybe a 10 min. walk away. Only thing supplied in bathrooms are toilet paper; I think some restrooms may have hand sanitizer available but don't count on it. There is also a gray water area dump for dishwater and such located in the center of each restroom (can't dump food in there). The amphitheater is also about a 10 minute walk away from the campsite.

Wonderful national park campground! Showers and dump station are included which make it even nicer :) Fresh water, toilets, amphiteatre for ranger talks, etc. also available.

Take note that the cell reception (signal) is not good at all. You need to walk to the visitor center (5 minutes walk) to enjoy the wifi.

C121 should not be used for a tent site. There is no level spot for a tent in the area.
