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

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 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

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 feet from the one at the next site, so I hope you enjoy hearing every word of your neighbors conversations.

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.

What a beautiful little campground tucked right between the road and the lake. The campsites were perfectly sized and the bathroom facilities sparkling clean! Many of the campsites have beautiful views of the lake and it is easy to walk down to the rocky beach early in the morning for coffee by the water or to fish or swim.

Had a wonderful time in the campground and in Glacier in general. We used the shuttle from Sprauge to get to Logan Pass. It was pretty easy to get a morning shuttle to the pass, but a bit more difficult to get back in the afternoon. It took us about 2 hours to get from the Loop back to camp, so plan accordingly if you are utilizing the shuttle.

Wonderful experience camping at Sprague Creek in GNP! It was clean as were the restrooms. Rules were posted to ensure a good camp experience for all. Campground host Joan Hanson was very welcoming and helpful. She shared some of her knowledge about nature in the area and showed me several stair trails to access the lake. So even tho my campsite was not one of those right by lake I could still get to the edge of lake ~ which was magnificent in early morning and evening. Friendly people and in spite of the road being just outside the campground it was quiet at night. Lovely picnic area just adjacent to the campground was also wonderful too! Thanks much!
