Sprague Creek Campground

This campground was a good location so that it included access to Going to the Sun Road without need for separate reservation. It also had a great location on Lake MacDonald for great sunsets and direct access for paddleboarding. However, it had a lot of road noise being right off the road and a lot of dust from the current road construction.

Nice, small, well maintained campground. You do get lots of road noise, but it’s also a great place to roll out of bed and start your day exploring the park! I came very late and a couple had tried to set up in my reserved camp site. Thankfully after not too much of a hassle they moved along and I was able to use my site. A large animal did pass through in the middle of the night, so do remember to store all you items safely.

Stayed 2 nights, and loved the location of this campsite. The site is beautiful and directly on the beach with multiple paths leading to the shore. 10/10 in that regard. We were in one of the sites backing onto the road, not the lake, and although still very private, it was quite noisy from the cars. The road is under construction and the gravel is very loud, so we struggled to sleep well at night, although both of us are light sleepers.

If you can get a site on the lake side, definitely go for it - it's stunning. But the other side I would probably avoid unless you are a heavy sleeper - at least till the road is finished.

Everything was great, ranger was friendly, but no grill on the fire ring was bogus. Site 16 has its own nice path to the water though.

Great location!

Our spot was beautiful. My only complaint was there was no soap or hand sanitizer in the bathroom.

great host ,clean facilities

The campsites are spaced very close to each other and with the roadworks currently happening there is a constant amount of traffic, noise pollution and dust.

Small campground with tight parking spots. As of June, 2023 all the heavy machinery doing Going-to-the-sun road stages directly outside the campground and workers fire up those beasts first thing so be ready for a loud and disruptive awakening. Snagged a reservation using the four day out window and the site we got (#11) was right next to the bathroom with the light shining. Some deer clearly habituated to people (and probably snacks) cruised by very close to us. The host was lovely and lake accessible just steps away. Overall the views are amazing but won’t do this stretch of road again until the road is improved between Apgar and Sprague. Better to drive around and enter the park on the east side for more camping.

Sprague Creek is a very well located campground. Our site was right along the beautiful Lake McDonald and on the Going-to-the-Sun Road. This campsite was easy to find and very relaxing. I highly recommend Sprague Creek!
