Huckleberries everywhere! It was a nice spot, disregarding the jerks on boats who show up to shoot fireworks. The road needs to be graded, but other than that, a very nice spot.

The campground was clean and pretty but the road leading to the campground was an 1.5hrs of potholes destroying your trailer on the way.

Had a great time. Bathrooms and campground was clean. Site was nice. Only negative was a previous guest left trash in the bear box which made it kind of smell. Would stay again, even with the bumpy and dusty drive to it. Enjoyed being off the grid!!

Campground was well maintained, bathroom in good shape and quiet after 10pm. Good drive in, some potholes and washboard but you have to expect that. Will go back again.

The road to the site is a 20 mi gravel road with lots of wash boarding and curves, this was a little tough on my SUV and could be inconvenient after a long day in Glacier National Park. However, if you and your car can handle that, the distance from Glacier is ideal and this site provides a more private camping experience. There were bear boxes, a vault toilet, and a water spigot all within close walking distance. We had a curious deer come visit our site which was a pleasant surprise as he was a little shy and didn't get too close.
