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.

Overall it's a really great campsite. Ideal location near the Apgar Visitor's Center and the shuttle to Going-to-the-Sun hikes. There was a mixup with our reserved spot when we arrived, but we were able to sort it out. Hosts are extremely helpful and eager to answer any questions about the park. There were three showers to be shared with the whole loop, but otherwise, all amenities were excellent and clean!

This was a fantastic campsite right next to the lake. There was a small path that led to the shore of the lake with a small pebbly beach… it was amazing. The bathroom closest to us was closed for maintenance, which was a pain, but the bigger pain was having to haul our cooking items to the next closest facility for washing. This was a major inconvenience. If it were not for this, 5+ star for the site itself.

Campsite was not flat. Other than the challenges that presented for sleeping, all was very good.

Beautiful well kept campground. Very close to lake mcdonald. Be warned this campsite does not give you access to the park. Still need a vehicle reservation.

I love Fish Creek Campground. It's beautifully lined with many pine and cedar trees. Very easy to walk to Lake McDonald. Campground Hosts and Check In people were very friendly and helpful. Great vibes in the area. The recycling program they have is fantastic and appreciated. The showers were nice to have, though they were not considered warm at all, but quite refreshing. The only things in our stay that prohibited a 5 star rating is that our A01 site's tent pad was only about 30 ft or less from our direct neighbor's tent pad. We heard their conversations LOUDLY, which was a bit annoying. If you have an RV or camper, you'll be fine. And bathroom wise, in the A loop, there is only one pooper, so expect to wait a bit to do your business. With this being said, I can't wait to get back to Fish Creek. It's a wonderful campground.

Glad to stay in a campground that has showers, and they need some maintenance. One of out of order and the other three can't be shut off all the way and need new shower heads. Loved our spot, and love the Park.

The toilets in our loop were not open causing serious discomfort. The provided porta potties were disgusting. Having to walk or drive to a different loop to use the toilets and sinks was unacceptable.

Our site, 143 was very unlevel and next to the restrooms. The restrooms were closed so we had to use port-a potties. The trails were great. Also the programs in the amphitheater were very good.
