What Guests Are Saying
Murray Bay Campground is well-maintained and offers a beautiful, peaceful environment with private sites and access to water for kayaking and fishing. Camp host Mr. Smith is highly praised for his kindness and attentiveness, and the facilities, including clean restrooms, contribute to a pleasant experience. While the remote location requires a longer drive, many visitors find it worth the trip for the serene atmosphere and amenities.

Nice campground but site 10 is close to the vault toilet and the smell was pretty bad.

Great quiet campground. It’s a bit of a drive and the road is extremely washed and bumpy but the lake provides great views. Camp ground is nice and well maintained and the grounds keeper was extremely kind and provided help even with our late arrival

The location was great but the host was terrible. Didn’t clean the bathroom or sites between people.

Peaceful relaxing campground. Easy access to Hungry Horse Reservoir. Lots of huckleberries! 15+ miles of gravel road is only drawback, if you want to do many activities in surrounding area each day.

Always love this place. We stopped going to Murray bay 5 years ago because the camp host was very ignorant. This new camp host is awesome

Campground host was kind, bathrooms were very clean. But most importantly our campsite was in the perfect location.

Don’t take a trailer!! The campground itself was fine. But the campground description fails to say that there is a 22 mile gravel road filled with potholes that you have to travel to get to the campground. We were pulling a trailer that we didn’t want to tear up, so it took us an hour and 40 minutes to drive those 22 miles. We were scheduled for four nights. But after the first we found another campground to stay the rest of our time in the area.

WARNING - Do not book this campsite unless you intend to visit with an off-road vehicle. The campsite is >20 miles from the main road on a gravel road with thousands of pot holes (no exaggeration). We had to go an average speed of 10mph to try and avoid as many as possible, and still we had to take our car afterward to have our wheels/steering realigned. The campsite itself is in a beautiful location, but the facilities are primitive and I would not stay here again.

You would have to drive about 40-50 minutes of dirt road from Highway 2 to get this campground. Very dusty all the way. The campsite has lake views and that’s about it, nothing else is worthy of recommendation.
