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.

It's a great location and our site had a view of the lake, so we loved that. We didn't realize there were no showers in this campground, so that was a disappointment.
But Joan is an awesome camp host and was very helpful to us, with tips to help us get to the hikes we wanted to make. She even shared with us some firewood from her own supply after ours was taken while we were away.

Pros: small campground, no RVs, no generators, easy access to the lake, lots of shade
Cons: the road is about 100 feet away so it’s pretty loud most of the time. Our site was small and not very private. Bathrooms are old.
Try and get site 13 if you can. That had a great view of the lake.

Wonderful, small campground. While there are no generators allowed, going to the sun road is very close in proximity, which has regular traffic from 4:30 AM through 10 PM. Not a particularly quiet campground, and very few of the sites are level (my site was 5°). No showers at this one (fish creek and Apgar have showers)

Bring yer inflatable paddle board and have it inspected for use in the lake. It is an absolutely stunningly beautiful lake that you will want to look into. Bring goggles/mask too.

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.

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.

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!!
