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.

The campsites are large and there is a lot of space between sites. Site 5 is wonderfully situated on the water with a little path down a “spit” into the reservoir. Bathrooms were clean. The camp host was kind and helpful.
The only downside is the drive in from the main road is 40minutes minimum and can take up to an hour in the dark. This is fine if you’re staying there and not going in and out. We used it as our base for our Glacier trip and the 2 hr round trip in and out was a lot at the end of the day.
It is close to Hungry Horse where there is a laundry, groceries, and a nice breakfast spot. Heading toward W Glacier is only about 7 min from the turn off to Old Hwy 2 toward the campsite.

LOVED this campground!
The camp host is wonderful, and if you are looking for a beautiful and peaceful campground, you will love this spot. It is a long drive in, but in terms of gravel roads it was extremely manageable. Will be back :)

Really great spot away from crowds and right next to the Hungry Horse reservoir. Lots of wildlife viewing opportunities. A bear came through our camp at night, so follow the guidelines and keep your food and other attractants secure. Only downside was that the road to the camp was super bumpy so be prepared for that.

I loved this campground! I noticed there were a few bad reviews due to the road getting into the campground. Yes, it was a dirt road, but there were no bad potholes. I live in Pennsylvania and honestly our roads are SO much worse. Clearly the others leaving the reviews have never driven in PA. I really liked being down the dirt road, I kept my eyes peeled for wildlife, but only ended up seeing 2 turkeys. Our campsite was great and a short walk down to the lake. The views were beautiful! The campsite host was very nice too, we were recommended a hike to waterfalls nearby and it was great!
