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.

Maybe I have been to some bad campsites and didn't know it, but this campsite did exactly what we needed it to. Sure you're a little close to your neighbors, but the bathrooms are convenient and far enough away, the raised area for the tent was level, and there was easy access to the GTTSR. I also don't stay at the campsite but to sleep and have breakfast and dinner, so maybe that's why people seem to have a worse time at this site than I did.

Terribly small spots, but great location

On the plus side this is near Lake McDonald Lodge and its amenities and because it is inside the reservation area for the Going to the Sun Road, you do not have to hope to get a road reservation to use the Going to the Sun Road.
On the negative side this campground is right next to the busy Sun road and so you have to listen to cars zipping by at all hours of the day and night making it hard to get to sleep when you are in a tent. Also, some of the sites are very close together, my tent was less than 6 ft from the one at the next site, so I hope you enjoy hearing every word of your neighbors conversations.

Great location, sites are good size, it was very hard to make a reservation and unfortunately some site were empty even though weren’t available. I wish the host would report and cancel those who didn’t come so people who needed to stay have the opportunity. Site 13 is by the lake with the steep slope

This campsite is perfect if you REALLY like your neighbors - there was a stump between the campsites, so now you can see your neighbors and everything they do. The bugs went crazy - I had 50 bites, unfortunately not an exaggeration. Overworked camp host and close proximity of our neighbors means we won't be back to this campground anytime soon!

Great check in process, hosts were efficient and polite. Limited shade or privacy in campground.

Went to Russel’s Fireside Dining room for an awesome burger then came back and spent 4 hours paddle boarding on the lake. Absolutely gorgeous campground and it’s directly beside the lake! Smaller campground so it’s nice and quiet/secluded. Would definitely recommend!!

Close to Lake MacDonald. Can access from site! Sites are close so very little privacy. Very close to Road to the Sun which is surprisingly busy during the night. Expect to hear road noise.
The camp host was wonderful. Made you feel welcome and straight forward with campground rules.

Very nice campground! Good location with lake access down a few steps. Our site (10) had good shade and a view of the lake. You can hear the road noise even at the lakeside campsites, so that's the only downside.

Beautiful campground, very kind camp host. Highly recommend. Lake McDonald is the clearest lake I've ever seen.
