Apgar Campground

Apgar is one of the best family camping experiences in North America. You can walk to ice cream, experience sunsets on the lake, have deer resting in your campsite while you eat dinner. There is no laundry or hookups so plan accordingly but it is well worth giving up those luxuries.

Site was a bit uneven. Knew that going into it but just something to keep in mind if pulling a trailer you will step out of your door and the ground slopes a bit. Rained half the days we were there so it was messy around camp. Lots of trees, so you only get direct sunlight in the early afternoon for a couple of hours. Not going to get much from solid panels. Deer come through all the time. That was really neat. No bear boxes at individual campsites which really surprised me given the fame of this park and its bears. Hosts are on top of their job and will leave you a notice/citation for not having a clean campground. I received one for having an empty igloo cooler for soft drinks out while we were away from camp. Kind of petty imo but I understand why they gotta do it. Overall, great experience. Will come back again.

I solo camped here as a woman for the first time and felt super safe! Sites are spread far enough it's not packed but you don't feel isolated.

Great location and nice overall campground. My only critique is the bathrooms. The floors were perpetually wet (and not from the rain). There were also far too few showers for the number of sites, and they were so dirty that I avoided them. I wish the showers were more like Colter Bay in Grand Teton National Park.
