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.

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!

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

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.

The campsite was great. Toilets and sinks are a plus. The only complaint is there was no soap in the bathrooms ( probably due to it able to be smelled by the bears.) The sites are well shaded by trees so make sure you bring big spray

It is a wonderfully quiet spot that feels like you're in the backcountry, down a cattle-riddled (in a fun way) road to the campsite. My understanding is that this is the first year the site requires a fee, yet it is first-come, first-served. So, you can only pay by app when you get there. It is confusing to rely on an app-based system to pay in such a low-signal area, and the website notes there is no cellphone or internet coverage. I'm not sure this has gotten enough attention as it took a while to find a spot to get it to work. Most of the information on the website is wrong: it is listed as Cut Bank Campground rather than Sprague Creek; there IS cellphone reception for Verizon at least; there IS a trash can for waste; there ARE several bear containers. The tent pads look nice and flat on each(?) site. There is also a camping spot immediately next to the only outhouse, which is not ideal for those not wishing to wake anyone when leaving early. It's a great spot for the east side of the park and still a deal for $20.

Site was lovely, scenic (we could peep the lake through another site) and a pathway and stairs led right down to the lake! The site made many things closer to access on the Going to the Sun Road. The campground is nestled between the lake and the road, so you will get some traffic but still absolutely worth it to be on the lake later in the evening light, and/or early in the morning before other park-goers enter. Bathrooms were close, and good water was available--although not hot water. Bring a bin for washing your dishes and then there is a large dispoasl for dumping water and small particles so as not to attract bears

We loved the views of Lake McDonald at this campsite. It was a great location for exploring the west side of Glacier National Park. There was a nice beach at the picnic area that we were able to swim at (open to day use and public during the day). The park did a good job of limiting traffic within the camp, no one was driving through that wasn't a camper. The tent pads were nice and flat. There was some noise from the road but it was still easy to sleep. There aren't a lot of sites (24) at this campground so it didn't feel too busy in the restroom. bring some handsoap for the rest room if you remember! The lake views are amazing.

Beautiful campsite, although lots of mosquitoes when we were there in June. Some road noise nearby in the morning but otherwise the site was good. Spacious and plenty of room to park and set up tent on flat ground

We love Sprague Creek! It’s a lovely little campground, and it was perfect for our needs, as we came to hike and cycle in Glacier!

Awesome campsite! Camp host is really sweet - Joan - but she will read you the riot act if you leave a fire unattended or food out unattended!!!
