After a nine Mile drive on an horrific gravel road. There was only one other camper in the camp host wasn't around. Traveling as a single female I did not feel safe so I left and did not stay there.

Beautiful campground! Great camp hosts, very helpful. If you have a large unit (40 ft +) it is difficult to get it through some areas of the park. Enjoyed our stay 😊

An excellent quiet, rustic campground on a beautiful lake with big sites west of Whitefish, meticulously cared for and less than an hour to the west entrance to Glacier Park. We stayed four days and were able to check out Whitefish, Kalispell and Bigfork as well as Glacier. Highly recommend.

My sister & I take her 3 Grand daughters there it is the 2nd time they really enjoy it. Ride their bikes ,swim, kayak so much outdoor time. It will become a yearly event upon request of the oldest. The ground squirrels have dug some good (bad) holes in the open day area. Not much you can do about that though.

We have been coming to this campground for 10+ years and unfortunately, this campground has gone downhill. The campground was overrun with a family reunion that was completely out of control. Kids were running around till midnight or later screaming and flashing lights, they ran generators all day and never turned them off, the beach was completely overrun, and there was garbage all over around the lake. We love this lake but I wish they would turn it back to a peaceful campground and not a party spot. The camp hosts were amazing and so nice but it doesn't appear that they have much power to control what is happening in the campground. They kept the bathrooms very clean though. We love this place but it is not a relaxing retreat place anymore unfortunately and I just don't know if we will return.

Great campground! Excited to come back. The spaces are spread out and large enough to make it feel like home. The facilities were very clean. The lake is beautiful. Only downsides is cell service is spotty or unavailable, and the gravel road on the way is long bumpy.

The staff is friendly and welcoming. It is a nice campsite if you want to be on the lake all day. Minimal facilities, but they are well kept. We enjoyed our stay.
