Nice campsite with pull through. Campsite has room for one large tent. There isn’t much privacy between sites because they are close together, but everyone was very nice. Campground does not feel as big as it looks on the map.

Overall a really nice campground. Bathrooms had sinks and flushing toilets, and there was a gray water disposal sink too. There is a nice access to the lake shore with a gravel beach, and a nice hiking trail along the shore. Staff was friendly and helpful. Potable water spigots all had warnings for elevated levels of magnesium and advised against the elderly and very young drinking it. They also said not to boil it because that concentrates the magnesium so you will need to go get water for boiling elsewhere. The Apgar Visitor Center had potable water and was a short distance drive away although getting a parking spot there is tough. The best time to go was after 4 pm.
The one big drawback with this campground is the size of the tent pads. We have a large tent (16'x16'), and it barely fit abutted next to the fire pit. Due to this, we didn't have a campfire. There were many sites smaller than ours and some that were very slanted. Some sites were much better suited to small RVs or vans than tents because of the sloped areas.

Large comfortable campground with full amenities in a beautiful location. Be prepared for a lively environment with many, many children running around, lightly supervised.

Great site, pretty private besides the one adjacent campsite. Very close walk to the lake and good trees for multiple hammocks

Beautiful campsite! Kind of close to the neighboring sites but not bad. Decent shade and just a short walk to Lake McDonald.

We stayed at Fish Creek for 10 days and absolutely loved it. It's proximity to Glacier cannot be beat, and it has a great picnic area on Lake McDonald for days you just want to relax and have a beach day close to camp. The showers were great; however two of them were closed so there were only two open for the entirety of the campground to use. That was my only complaint and even that was quite manageable, it was fun chatting with other campers while we waited our turn. Beautiful, big sites, clean bathrooms, plenty of water available. I will be staying here again next time I am in Glacier!

Good, comfortable camping. Clean, enough space, very quiet in the evening. Inconveniently, the shower is only on Circle A, and out of 4 showers only 2 worked.
