Campers appreciate the friendly host, Ed, who is knowledgeable and helpful.

The campground itself was very charming. Wooded with direct convenient access to the lake beach. Unfortunately no shower facilities. The site itself was definitely not one of the better ones. Small and too close to the bathroom which is a net negative unless you have a disability or diarrhea. The fire ring is located right next to it, and at the one spot with no tree coverage. The site was also pretty close to the road.

It's a great location and our site had a view of the lake, so we loved that. We didn't realize there were no showers in this campground, so that was a disappointment.
But Joan is an awesome camp host and was very helpful to us, with tips to help us get to the hikes we wanted to make. She even shared with us some firewood from her own supply after ours was taken while we were away.

Pros: small campground, no RVs, no generators, easy access to the lake, lots of shade
Cons: the road is about 100 ft away so it’s pretty loud most of the time. Our site was small and not very private. Bathrooms are old.
Try and get site 13 if you can. That had a great view of the lake.

Wonderful, small campground. While there are no generators allowed, going to the sun road is very close in proximity, which has regular traffic from 4:30 AM through 10 PM. Not a particularly quiet campground, and very few of the sites are level (my site was 5°). No showers at this one (fish creek and Apgar have showers)

Bring yer inflatable paddle board and have it inspected for use in the lake. It is an absolutely stunningly beautiful lake that you will want to look into. Bring goggles/mask too.

Beautiful campground, very kind camp host. Highly recommend. Lake McDonald is the clearest lake I've ever seen.

Very nice campground! Good location with lake access down a few steps. Our site (10) had good shade and a view of the lake. You can hear the road noise even at the lakeside campsites, so that's the only downside.

Close to Lake MacDonald. Can access from site! Sites are close so very little privacy. Very close to Road to the Sun which is surprisingly busy during the night. Expect to hear road noise.
The camp host was wonderful. Made you feel welcome and straight forward with campground rules.
