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.

You can add an RV/Trailer to reservation but they are not allowed for obvious reasons. Pls fix and refund my money.

What can you say about Glacier that hasn't been said? Lake McDonald is as beautiful as anything I've seen in my life. Hiking Brown Mountain was a ball buster. Night hiking from the Belton Amtrak station 9 miles to my camp from 10pm - 1am was thrilling.

The camp host was great. The Rangers were great. It's nice to see tax dollars well spent. It's so rare.

This is a nice campground with clean bathrooms and a great location. My one complaint was that I booked my stay before coming into the park, so I was not fully aware of the scale of the construction happening on the going - to - sun - road. My camping site backed up to the road, which resulted in lots of road noise all day which was ok because I was not there. At night a pilot vehicle and construction vehicles were driving by all night with flashing lights. Luckily I had earplugs, but depending on who you are, you might not get any sleep. It would have been one thing if I was fully aware of the situation, but the park or campground side didn't really give the whole picture.
