Fish Creek Campground

I did not appreciate having to pull up my camping reservation and show it the the rangers EVERY SINGLE TIME that I came into or left the park. They had to see it at the vehicle reservation stop to be sure I could enter the park without paying again. It was redundant, excessive, inconvenient and unnecessary!!! The road between Fish Creek and Lake McDonald Lodge was a disaster!! It was in such terrible shape it had people in our vehicle throwing up from the roughness! All of the pull outs were blocked off, all of the trail heads were blocked off! You could not stop anywhere!! We stayed in Fish Creek Campground Loop A because of the convenience of the showers, but they were absolutely disgusting! One had the shower head broken, in one the shower head merely trickled, stall 2 was the best but the walls were covered in bugs and filth. The floors were nasty! You need to worry a little less about making sure every vehicle is carded multiple times a day and waste personnel just sitting alongside the road for that and use some of them to clean and provide some maintenance for the showers and facilities that we are paying for!!! I have been coming to Glacier National Park for over 50 years now and this was the absolute worst trip I have experienced here!! If I can not stop anywhere to view the sites, if I cannot stop at the trailheads and get out for a hike, if I cannot use the showers because the water is a mere trickle then I certainly should not have to pay the $30 to get in!! I mean what did I pay for? Since I also paid for the campsite. If you cannot maintain the beautiful park with the millions of dollars that are pulled in every year then maybe you need to close it for a year and get ALL THE WORK DONE to the roads, buildings and facilities and then re-open when it may be worth the fee! Besides all of us pay for the National Park through our taxes so really we should not have to pay to enter the park or drive through it anyway! Very Disappointed in 2023! Sharon A.

Fish Creek campground was excellent. Camped during second weekend in June. Weather was between 65-75 deg. Short periods of clouds mixed with sun throughout the week despite weather forecasting Tstorms and cold. We got stuck with loop B bc we didn’t plan ahead early enough to get loop C or D which were closer to the water. We “assumed” closer to the water would have to be better but that wasn’t true. All the campsites were heavily wooded so even if you are by the water all you see are trees from your campsite unless you take a short walk down to the water. Loop B was also a short walk/bike/drive to the water so it was fine. Much less busy than Apgar but busier than sites further into the park and first come first serve locations. Our fire pit didn’t come with a grill grate which was novel news for us so plan accordingly. We had park rangers camping in our loop as the “camp hosts” which was super convenient for questions and updates. Didn’t come across any bears (fortunately? Unfortunately? Idk lol) but the command to be bear aware is everywhere so… beware lol. Other than that the experience was fantastic. Glacier was better than advertised and simply an incredible nature experience. People were kind. Rangers we’re helpful and friendly. I look forward to taking my kids some day.

Site needed brush/overhead limb trimming. Pretty small site for just about any rv. Besides that it was a great experience and good camping.

All you need. Not so much like camping in the nature, but for RV fine

We didn’t stay as it was a huge rainstorm but we love fish creek and wish the weather had been better.

We only stayed in here for the night but overall pleased with the facilities (shower and bathroom).

Love the campground and the hosts are great. Only complaint, and nothing that can be done about this is have a system to shift sites. We were there four nights and had to move twice.

Site backs right onto Fish Creek - about a 5 ft drop into the creek bed. The camp site runs parallel to the river - fire pit is closer to the creek. There is a campground community water source at this site. The ground is very hard for basic tent stakes - I used heavy spikes and a hammer to get into the hard ground. I plan to book this site the next time I go to Glacier. I have 1 to 2 bars on Verison.

convenient location, clean

Beautiful location next to the lake, site was c116 was fairly level and we didn’t need any levelling blocks. Very close to other sites however and no privacy.
