What Guests Are Saying

The campsite offers a peaceful and clean environment, complete with safety features like bear boxes and nearby rangers. Guests enjoyed the convenient location near the visitor center and Lake McDonald, as well as the spacious group sites and nearby amenities. The pizza received high praise for its freshness and quality, making it a popular choice after a day of outdoor activities, though some noted the prices were on the higher side.

The worst stay ever! We booked a group campsite for 9 people. But apparently, if your friends get seriously sick, or even die, the rangers don’t care. If you don’t have 9 people, they can REMOVE you from YOUR PAID spot or simply let a random person stay with you. They are happier if you don’t show up at all, than have less people. The ranger didn’t like that our friends didn’t show up due to COVID with complications and that there were only 4 people instead of 9, so she just let a random person (he was super weird) set up his tent in our spot.

Friendly hosts and the site is inside the park. Shops , restaurant and visitors center is a short drive.

The bathroom is pretty old and shower facilities is limited and a bit dirty. It has free hot water though.
