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.

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