What Guests Are Saying

Sprague Creek Campground is a charming and clean site with excellent access to Lake McDonald, making it ideal for tent campers and smaller vehicles. Visitors appreciate the friendly camp host, beautiful lake views, and quiet atmosphere, particularly in the evenings. However, some sites are small and close together, resulting in limited privacy, and road noise can be an issue, especially for those near the main road.

Great experience! Campsites are in very close proximity, but understandable to accommodate as many as possible to enjoy the park.
Grizzly Bear in the north half of the complex. So cool to watch the bear from a safe distance. Rangers and camp host handled the situation superbly by reminding everyone to keep their sites clean and food stored properly.
