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.

We had site 13 and it was probably one of the best, if not the best, site in the campground. Maybe even the whole park! Smaller and quiet but still very close to amenities.

A beautiful area located in Lake McDonald. Very quiet with beach views.

More peaceful than Apgar. Site 3 has one tent pad, site 25 has two, they share a bear box. Great host and neighbors. Complicated bear hygiene protocols here, but understandable considering I saw a bear in the campground!

Campsite 14 is indeed the worst site in this small campground. It's right next to the bathrooms, a pro if you don't like going to the bathroom at night. We didn't experience too much noise from the bathroom. What made it the worst was the size of the site, we barely fit our truck on the parking pad. It's on the inner circle so you don't get the beautiful woods vibe, and there's essentially no backing into the site unless you have a small car. You are right up in the neighbor across the inner circles business, no barrier. It was a good place for the 1 rainy night we stayed there, if I would be camping longer, would not enjoy this site.

I’ve never camped at a facility with friendlier and more helpful staff. The park manager and the nice lady who runs the store were AWESOME! I can’t say enough good things about both of them. And I absolutely loved the park itself. Gorgeous and peaceful! I’ll DEFINITELY be back. KUDOS to the park staff.

Really love this campground. Smaller and more quiet than others in the vicinity and set right on the lakeshore. Close enough to the lodge in case you need anything there or want to enjoy the restaurant/activities. With people out enjoying the park during the day, it can feel like you have the whole place to yourselves almost, very little traffic in and out. Very easy access to the lake and beautiful sunset vistas in the evenings. Yes, there’s some noise since you're right off the GTTSR but honestly, it’s hard to get away from that in most places in the park as it’s the main corridor. Highly recommended!

We loved being close to the lake. The road noise was very loud. Our site backed up to the road.

Campground is small, only 24 sites, so pretty quiet and not much traffic. Its near the main road, so a bit of road noise but not much. Lots of trees and the campground is very shady, some sites are overlooking Lake McDonald. The campsites are pretty close together, and its very easy to see your neighbors, so not much privacy. Two sites nearest the bathroom have a path right through the campsite to the bathroom, so there's people walking near or through the campsite to get to the bathrooms.
