Terry, Sandy and Darroll were gracious, hard working and super helpful hosts. I don't remember the name of the man cleaning the bathrooms but we appreciated his hard work as well. We saw him cleaning daily in our week long stay. One of the showers in loop A was closed and since there are only 4 for the entire campground that did create a longer line in the evening. Fish Creek was beautiful and the access to the park and Lake McDonald can’t be beat. Booking six months ahead is key but we were also able to stay an extra day by going back on recreation.gov one day ahead and moving campsites for one night. Not ideal but for us, well worth the little bit of extra work. Thank you Fish Creek campground and volunteer hard working rangers!! We appreciate you and can’t wait to return!

Great camping ground, clean with clear instructions and camp maps to make the stay memorable.
Drinking water availability were placed at frequent distance making it easily accessible. We really enjoyed our stay and the calmness.

Our site was right by the river, which was amazing! Also a path to the amphitheater for programs starts right by the site. Showers had warm water and bathrooms were good. Some issues finding level ground for the tent, but I was able to stake it down (other sites we stayed at were too rocky for stakes).

Always great to get into nature to camp. Brought our tent this trip and was conveniently located to restroom which is good for us old folk. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Gate attendant was friendly and informed us of our duties of being great campers. Ranger doing the evening talk at the amphitheater was excited to give the talk and did a great job.

Fish creek had an excellent amphitheater presentation, and their campsite was nice. The narrow trees swayed together so peacefully in the strong breeze. Bathrooms were abundant per loop, although some of the loops can change elevation often. They had access to Lake McDonald, where you could find a (mosquito avoiding) spot to take a dip into. To explore Glacier National Park, it was a great experience.

This is a great place to camp. Our site on loop D had a picnic table fire ring and tent pad. Bathrooms were clean and functional. We didn’t visit the showers on loop A but that’s a bonus. Access to lake McDonald. Morning coffee on a log on the shore of lake McDonald can’t be beat & was a highlight. We enjoyed being on the North side of the lake which is opposite the going to sun road, so way less crowded.

We liked the campground. Wish there were showers in the B loop but managed with the ones on A. Restrooms clean.
