Liked the location of the campground in the park. Loop C had a path leading to Rocky Point Trail which offers less busy Lake McDonald beaches than Apgar. However, every time we wanted a shower we had to drive and park in the picnic area. Then hike up stairs to the only 3 showers for the entire campground, which usually had only cold water. The campground needs to add showers to the other loops. There was a black bear that frequented our campsite, they should probably work on relocating them if they are reliably there, as we were told. The next camper may not be so careful. Word to the wise, a reservation at Fish Creek does not get you on Going to the sun road! Yes you are already in the park but there is a second checkpoint after the West Entrance! They will turn you around.

I love this campsite! It is close to the lake and most importantly to the showers & restroom. You can have a picnic and go swimming at Lake McDonald nearby. The nightly show at the amphitheater is very informative & interesting as well.

Location was great! Staff was super helpful! we stayed in loop A and loop D and both were quiet and wooded. Sites were large. The only thing that would have made it better is if loop D had showers and if the showers in loop A would have been working. Would absolutely stay at this campground again

Could not get the same site more than one night. All sites unlevel.

The US national park service campgrounds are overall in poor shape, but the facilities at Fish Creek Campground are pretty much the worst I've experienced. The positive aspect of this campground is the location. Other than that, the campsites lack privacy in spite of the trees, the bathrooms are on their last legs and the shower facilities are decrepit. The Apgar Village and West Glacier nearby were quaint when first built in the 1920's, but are now overrun with tourists and provide little in the form of camping practicalities. The businesses there do provide restaurant services and trinket shopping. Make sure to stock up on necessities in neighboring towns. Glacier NP is spectacular though and worth the annoyance of a run-down camping facility. Do your homework, make your reservations for camping and vehicle passes at the earliest possible time or your activities within the park could be severely limited.

The campground is well maintained and the hosts and NP employees were very helpful. Two of three campsites were great for tent camping. One was slanted, unfortunately, forcing us to pitch our tent in the “driveway” portion of the site. Lastly, the showers are only available in Loop A and the water is freezing. Made for one very cold shower! Avoided it for the rest of the stay!
Will stay here again now that we know which sites to request. Will also plan to take showers in town.
