What Guests Are Saying
Sprague Creek Campground offers a beautiful location right on Lake McDonald, with well-maintained sites and clean bathrooms. Campers appreciate the friendly host, Ed, who is knowledgeable and helpful. While some noise from the nearby road can be a drawback, the campground's scenic views and access to the lake make it a favored choice for visitors seeking a quieter experience in Glacier National Park.

The location is excellent for trips into glacier, the access to the lake and beach is wonderful and it was not nearly as buggy as some places we stayed in Glacier. Even the camp attendand Ed provided valuable updates and directions for our camping trips. Note that for Verizon at least we would have one bar but never actually got any signal in or out.
Also, most camps are beautiful, but camp 11 which we had for the second half the trip is on a slant and right next to the bathrooms with a much smaller tent base, avoid that spot if you can.

This was our favorite campground on the west side of the park. The camp host, ED was just a joy, can't wait to come back!

The absolute best campground host I have ever come across. Ed is such skilled at his craft that he can’t help but stand out. He is polite, and extremely effective. He keeps his guests and visitors in check with quick wit and direct communication. I especially liked the cone for reducing random Looky Lou’s from driving through and relatively tight campground. Ed is so diligent that he misses nothing. He’s seems to be able to educate and communicate with people of all walks of life.

Great location beside Lake MacDonald. Nice boat launch on the picnic side. Plenty of shade throughout with sun peaking through but moving quickly across the campsite. Plenty of fresh water spigots but not many bear boxes for food storage requiring campsites to share. Traffic is noticeable throughout the day as the campground is next to the main road. But, it's not a deal breaker due to location and no generators allowed. We tent camped with two 10'x10' footprint tents. We had plenty of room.

Small, quiet and convenient location right on Lake McDonald. Great beach access. Would go back again for sure.

Campsites were extremely close together, enough to hear the couple next to me making babies.

We especially appreciated the warm, friendly welcome from Ed, the campsite host, the quiet, secluded tent sites and flush toilets. All of that outweighed the only drawback which was some traffic noise from the adjacent Going-to-the-Sun road.
