We loved the campground. Our view of the lake was awesome. Our only thing we didn’t like is it is not clearly marked on how to get to the campground. Directions on the website are terrible.

Really enjoyed the campground that we stayed at, beautiful view, cute small trails that went off to another area closer to the water with a fire pit, great view and overall great vibes. Would go back to this exact spot we stayed at again!

The camp ground hand beautiful views of the lake. Our camp sight was well laid out. The staff was friendly and helpful. It's well off the beaten path around glacier but worth a visit on it's own.

We loved our time here. The hosts were AMAZING. It is a long trek down a gravel road, but the peacefulness is totally worth it! :)

the campground is very nice and well maintained and the camphost was very attentive.
The fact that theirs is no restriction on the length and time that a generator can be run ruined a otherwise pleasant experience. Why is there no regulation on this??? If a campsite is making to much noise they are asked to quiet down. Why is it allowed to run these machines during the dinner hours or breakfast hour, family time,
Anytime of day? Why is it allowed that a generator can be running with no one present. They start the motor then head out leaving anyone in the campsite to listen to it.This should not be allowed. Why can't they have controlled hours ,11-2 or 2-5.. Other camper should not have to experience this unpleasant noise intrusion because someone's dog needs air conditioning or their kid need to watch tv .
