What Guests Are Saying
Sprague Creek Campground offers a beautiful location right on Lake McDonald, with well-maintained sites and clean bathrooms. Campers appreciate the friendly host, Ed, who is knowledgeable and helpful. While some noise from the nearby road can be a drawback, the campground's scenic views and access to the lake make it a favored choice for visitors seeking a quieter experience in Glacier National Park.

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.

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 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.

Best campground in Glacier. We really appreciated a small campground with no generators!

The sites are quite small. If you have a large tent, examine the pictures ahead of time to select a site with a larger pad if possible. Many of the sites are right next to the main road and it remains surprisingly noisy even late into the night. The sound didn't end up bothering us much, just not the serene get-away you expect at a national park. Definitely try to get a site on the lake side.

Spacious campsite and clean, located very close to Lake McDonald. Right next to GTTSR but quite at night. My second time at this location and I love it. No showers like Apgar and ST Mary.

We stayed for 2 nights and it was perfect. The campground is small but right next to the water. Some spots appear to be larger than others and have better areas for placing a tent. Not all spots have the ability to hang a hammock. The camp host was always there and available to help. They checked us in right away.
The site is close to the road so there was some car noise but it wasn't too bad.

We loved the quietness and cleanliness of Sprague Creek. The only downfall of this campground is that the sites are really close to one another.
