Great spot for camping, showers at campground but aren’t the best and only 3 showers available. Bear box are found outside by the restrooms unless camping in the group campgrounds

Make sure you tell host you have 9 people at check in or they will try to kick you out, even if the rest of your party is coming the next day.

We arrived and they did not have our site reservations written down. They had us go to a site and then came to us saying someone else reserved the site. They made us leave the park to pull up our reservations to show them our reservation that was originally in place. It was very disorganized. The site was nice. Lots of space. Absolutely no wifi. Walkable to Lake. Rating due to how park rangers handled the whole situation. won’t return.

Tbh, I was skeptical of this spot bc of location and somewhat mediocre rating but it was delicious and fairly priced given the touristy location and lack of other options!

We had the pepperoni 12”. 6 slices total and a good size to fill up 2 people after a day of hiking.

Zero complaints. This was a perfect end to a day of exploring in Glacier NP! 🏔️🍕

Campsite was great, very quiet at night, clean when we arrived, felt very safe with the bear boxes and rangers nearby. Some leftover firewood from previous guests, showers nearby, village had wide arrangement of essential and non-essential items, beach perfect for swimming after a long day of hiking. Cabins looked very tempting for next year’s vacation.
