Campers appreciate the friendly host, Ed, who is knowledgeable and helpful.

Site is incredibly small. Site also has a very very tight turn radius even for my compact. Tree was scrapped and I could tell people hit it all the time.

What a great campground!! Perfect location to explore the park, even has its own shuttle stop which turned out to be a huge plus during the busy summer months where lots are already full. My campsite had its own little trail down to Lake McDonald which was perfect for plunging in the cool waters while watching the sun set behind the mountains after a long day of hiking. The Lake McDonald lodge is really close by which came in handy for last minute supplies, ice, and a large pizza when my camp food just wasn't cutting it. I really enjoyed my stay here and preferred it over my campsite in St Mary, but that's more of a personal preference more than anything. Go here and you won't regret it!! Oh and if you have paddleboards/kayaks bring them, you can launch them here too!

Site 11 is probably the worst option in this campground. It's right next to the bathrooms and camp dump station and the site is not fully level. People are constantly coming and going through your site and the bathroom light shines all night into your tent.
The tent pad is small and gravelly and the vehicle noise was constant. The sites are very close together with little to no privacy; we could hear every word of a drunken conversation two campsites down for many hours. The only bathroom for the campground was rundown and didn't have handsoap. You could potentially walk to the picnic ground bathrooms for a more updated option with soap.
The view was of the water through the trees was lovely and Joan, the campground host, was incredibly helpful when we had an issue.

Our group had an amazing time at Sprague and would highly recommend it to anyone. Lake Mcdonald is right there and you’re in driving distance of a lot of really nice hikes / activities. Joan, the camp volunteer, was very nice and accommodating and also was able to teach us a lot about the camp.

Great campground and our site was fantastic. No soap in bathrooms, so bring hand sanitizer. A little sad that noise from the GTTS road was prominent, but that's to be expected here. Some people might want earplugs for sleep.

Campground was very clean and perfect location. I would have given 5 stars but the road noise was a bit rough to deal with. I'm sure the sites on the other side closer to the lake were better . The site I was at was closer to the road. Earplugs helped

We really enjoyed Sprague Creek Campground! Site 8 was in a great spot closer to the lake and away from the road. We didn't have any issues with road noise waking us up and we barely noticed it during the day. We had a deer roam through our campsite a couple of nights during our stay. We were told that bears have frequented the area but we didn't see any in our campgeound while we were there. The bathrooms were clean and I didn't realize we would have flush toilets which was a plus! Bear boxes are shared which is a pain since we didn't have any extra room in our truck for our food and the close box was full but we had a wagon that helped us to move our food back and forth to our campsite from a box that was farther away. Lake McDonald is beautiful and we had some great lake views from our site! Sites 12 and 13 seemed like the only sites that had more of a view. Lake McDonald was warm enough to briefly swim in so I was glad we had our swimsuits and water shoes to protect our feet from the rocks. We would definitely stay at Sprague Creek again!

We had a wonderful spot on the lake and across from the washrooms. Water was available for drinking, site and washrooms were clean, campground was quiet. Great access to the park, hiking and not too far from town for supplies.

Sites are close together and no privacy. Road is close and gets noisy early. But you can't beat a lakefront site on Lake McDonald. Toilets with running water but no soap. Overall a very positive experience staying here!
