Our campsite was beautiful and every staff member or ranger that we met was super nice! The campground itself was also fairly well maintained. My biggest issue was that there is only ONE working shower area for the ENTIRE campground (all loops). Unfortunately, whenever we tried to shower, most of the stalls were closed and there was usually a long line. Additionally, the shower areas were absolutely disgusting, with bugs and mud smeared over the walls, floors, and bench. The water was also not hot at all, in any of the bathrooms. The bathroom in C loop was usually pretty clean, but had no hot water for handwashing. The hand dryer in the bathroom was also not working and there were no paper towels to make up for it.
In terms of activities, do NOT plan on using the shuttles during your trip. We had to wait over 2 hours to board the shuttle at Apgar Visitors Center and another hour to come back down from Logan’s Pass. If you have a vehicle, try to wake up early and get on Going-to-the-Sun Rd. before the timed entry. Get on the road before 5am if you want to park at Logan’s Pass.

Our family of 5 really enjoyed this campground. Loop A was nice & quiet and had warm-ish showers and close access to Lake McDonald for a quick dip. It felt peaceful and safe here. A great experience; our favorite campground we experienced (of 3) in Glacier.

This campground is amazing. Close, easy access to Lake McDonald. If you are planning on going on Going-To-The-Sun Road, this campground is outside the checkpoint so you will still need a car reservation to go on that road (or wait and go between 3pm and 7am, when access is not restricted) Site A26 is VERY close to another site and close to the bathrooms (not close enough to hear the bathrooms) It had limited privacy, but that is to be expected with such a large and popular destination. Overall, we would absolutely stay here again.

Love FishCreek Campground, it is our first choice when we are in Glacier National Park. Stayed in loop C and It is nice and mostly peaceful. Lots of tree covered for shade. Camp lot was little smaller than hoped but we made it work. Showers in loop A, were as expected for a campground shower. Water was either lukewarm or warmer which was nice. But only 2 of 4 of the showers were open. The other two were being fixed. Staff do go around daily to make sure people are following rules for their campsites which is nice so that to avoid bears. I would recommend first time FishCreek campers to look for video of someone doing a walkthrough of the campground to make sure your campsite works for your needs . Some spots can be small or on a slant/hill. But overall the campground is very nice and lake McDonald access is a plus.

We love this campground! It’s quiet, heavily forested, and provides access to the lake.

Fish creek was beautiful and quiet. The nightly programs at the amphitheater were excellent, and the proximity to Apgar Village was incredibly convenient. The only thing to be prepared for is that the only shower is in loop A and you have to park at the amphitheater to use it, otherwise we had no problems and did not even have to wait.

This campground is clean and in a nice and quiet location. Friendly staff throughout our stay and the sites are well maintained. The only downfall to this campground is that there is only one set of showers for the entire campground and two of the four showers were out of order during our stay, leaving only two working showers for the entire campground so there was always a long wait to shower and the water was lukewarm.
