The site was beautiful, everything was close by and having the lake right by and within walking distance was amazing. 10/10

We loved our visit to Glacier! It was June and early in the season and the place was a feast for the eyes. Picture views everywhere! Though the park was already busy, I think we were short of the human throngs that come later in the summer. We camped at Fish Creek. Tent camping. We liked it. The lavatory was out during our stay in C, so we had to go up the hill to B to use the facilities. It turned out to be not so bad. Showers were in A, so the added walking gave time to feel the altitude and smell the pine. Not terrible. Our friendly ranger superintendent (Bill) suggested a side trip that provided the single most breathtaking view of the week, Bowman Lake! Wow, something else!!! The road to it was rough and technical to navigate, caked our truck with mud that is yet to come off, but it was well worth the trip. It was truly a world class view and something for a postcard.
Maybe…. The fear and threat of bears was overhyped. Possible? Maybe that’s the cachet of the place. It sure worked on us. Semi wigged out, we left disappointed at not seeing nor encountering brown or grizzly bears.

The Bathrooms were closed due to plumbing problems and the Porta Potties were in dire need of dumping. I am not opposed to using portable toilets, but these were way past time to be changed. The campground was clean and quiet.

Understandable that there can be a need for maintenance of the bathrooms. But the portable toilets were disgusting. They needed to be changed and attended to more frequently.

The campground and hosts were lovely. However, we were quite disappointed with site D151. We had barely enough room for our camper and truck, as the site abutted a hillside. There was a picnic table but no additional tent space. We couldn’t use the fire ring as it was too close to the camper and table. The description claimed it was a 27’ site. Not really!

These sites are so private and well-situated. And a flushing toilet and potable water are a bonus!

This was a beautiful place to camp. A deer walked right by my campsite one morning, which was fun to see.
