We loved our campsite. The hill behind the site was full of huckleberries so we had deer visit our site in the mornings. One of the best campgrounds I've stayed in, was quiet and respectful and rangers were super helpful when we got locked out of our car. The lake was about a 10 min walk from this site. There is a small trail behind this campsite that takes you directly there.

Very nice campground. Had to stay 1night in 1 site and then move to another for next 2 days due to reservation system

DO NOT RESERVE THIS SITE!!! (C-133)
It has a severe slope. We parked our small teardrop on it and it was so sloped we could not level it even using 3 stacked 2x6s. I calculated that meant it was over an 8% grade and we were not on the highest portion of the slope. I was concerned even leaving our trailer there for a short time.
Fortunately we ran into the camp host and she was able to give us another site. So my 5 stars is indicative of our stay at the new campsite. Thanks very much to the host, Kathy, for allowing us to move, which saved our trip! She also provided us with great info!

Great campground on Lake McDonald. The showers were refreshing with close proximity to Going-to-the-sun road.

We camped at the campground for 3 days in August, the camp ground and its amenities were very well maintained.
We did have some cell reception as well. The campground is situated at Lake McDonald which is easily accessible from most campsites.
There was a fire ban in effect so it is good to check the NPS page before traveling here and be prepared accordingly.
A 9 mi stretch of the going-to-the-sun road was under construction and made for quite a bumpy ride while exploring the rest of the park.
The campground is very close to Apgar village where you can get food, groceries, ice cream and coffee. You can also rent kayaks and paddleboards. It is also very close to the west glacier entrance and there a lot of shops and a gas station right outside.
