About Apgar Campground

Apgar campground is the largest campground in the park. It is situated in trees and provides tent and RV campers with shade and some privacy. Evening sunsets on Lake McDonald are only a short stroll, and you won't want to miss evening programs with a ranger at the Apgar Amphitheater. Many trails are located within a short drive of the campground. Five Group Sites are reservable in advance.All sites require a reservation. Most sites have a 6-month booking window with a good handful having a 4-day booking window.

Pull through are very slanted and impossible to level. My wife fell and injured her shoulder because of the slant.

Our site was listed for 8 people but it definitely was not an 8 person site. Could barely fit two tents. Got in trouble for not using tent pad but literally had no other space for second tent. The tent pad could fit maybe two, 2 person backpacking tents.
The first ranger we spoke with failed to give us the detailed info for the site, so we got yellow carded.
Had to use a shared bear box which wasn’t near camp which was frustrating. Wish each site had their own bear box since literally everything has to go in them.

Bathrooms and free showers were a nice surprise. Apgar village is a fun place to explore.
We did have a black bear poking around our camp, so beware.

Great experience. We were in the D loop. While a bit of a walk to the showers (A loop) and waterfront, its not too far and there is parking if you would rather drive. Very few mosquitos and flies (middle of July). Potable water close by and toilets and sinks with running water easily accessible. Campground is well shaded with trees and very close to visitor center, the lake, Going to the Sun road, and other aspects of Glacier.

Nice, convenient campsite. Walking distance to village, which was good as there was no parking there. We had a great time at the swimming beach by the picnic area also. Could use a couple more showers… was quite a line
