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 location can’t be beat! Apgar is steps from lake McDonald and a Apgar downtown where you can find rentals, a small store, a restaurant and ice cream shop. Ideal for families! It’s also at the beginning to the road to the sun. An absolute must see!! The camp sites are clean and well cared for. Bathrooms are fully equipped they also Provide bear boxes, convenient trash bins and Fresh water access. The rangers are all amazing ! They were so helpful on site. We stayed for a week and I can’t wait to take a trip back soon!

We rented a group site E8 for our large group. The campground is beautiful with flushing toilets and sinks in the bathrooms. Loop A has a shower house with 3 showers. The vegetation is lovely and peaceful. We loved the camp host Don. He was very helpful and would ride around on his bike checking up on everyone. We had barely any Verizon cell service and it was a little better with ATT, but not enough to really use the internet. The visitor center is a nice walk down a wooded path. Apgar Village is adorable and we also rented some cabins for those in our group who didn't want to camp. We always do large family camping trips in the summer to a National Park. I think this was my favorite one so far! RV's with slides have to be careful because the roads are narrow and they have to park right off it in the group sites. I think they should also build more shower houses because there was usually a line with such a large campground sharing 3 showers.
