Sprague Creek Campground

The campground was quiet, the host friendly and helpful, and the easy access to Lake McDonald for morning and afternoon swimming and sunset viewing was amazing.

The worst campground experience I’ve ever had. The amenities in the campground are very nice and the camp host was wonderful but those couldn’t overcome the horrific location of the campground which is situated feet off of a major highway and results in deafening car noise all night. The spaces are all very small so there’s no space or trees between campsites. And to cap it all off, you can access Lake MacDonald directly from the campground, which should be a huge positive. However we went swimming shortly after arriving and after our plunge began to itch horribly. Turns out the lake is now warm enough that it’s full of the parasite that causes swimmers itch.

The campground was so bad we bailed on our second night (forfeited the $ already paid) to move to another campground that was more in the woods.

Small camper ground with direct access to lake McDonald. A beautiful spot for a refreshing swim, paddle board or sunset. The campground is right off the road but it was not very noisy overnight in our tent.

This campsite was in a beautiful location. The cleanest bathrooms I have seen. The creek spots were amazing.

Beautiful location on the Lake McDonald shore and minutes from McDonald village. Very convenient to many trails that the shuttles don’t stop at. The campground is well maintained and supervised to ensure everyone is safe and is ensured a pleasant experience. Only one group attempted a late night, underaged drinking party disturbing the campground but the campground host shut it down quickly without push back. The man has skills!

The campground itself is very good, However the booking procedure is not at all and the scan did not activate on arrival. All other accommodation in Glacier was full that night and to not know if you could stay the night until you arrived is far from ideal. Generally I think the restrictions on bookings in Glacier could be improved especially as tourists are not able to get wifi for alot of areas to assist with bookings. (we had been in Yellowstone previous to this and it was far easier)

By far our favorite campsite in the park!! Ed, the campsite host, was incredibly helpful and such an excellent welcome to the park. We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, easy access to the lake, and the running water in the bathrooms (plus the potable water pump right outside our campsite). Most sites had ample shade and gravel tent pads. Top on our lists for a return visit!

Ed, the camp host, was one of the friendliest, most helpful people we’ve ever met. Not only the best camp host we’ve ever had but the best host we can imagine. The lake was also gorgeous and the campground was lovely!

Campground was excellent. It was quiet and more remote than other options which we preferred. Beautiful views of the lake and access for paddle boarding. Bathrooms were clean and staff friendly.

Very cool campground. People walk thru your site. Beautiful lake and access. Bear are there! No trailers and seemed to be an easy option for the GTTSR and a base. #12 is good.
