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.
