Our camp site was large and clean, the camp host very nice and helpful. The lake has many kinds of fish and the creek feeding into is lovely! You can also rent paddle boats. There is a very nice swimming area complet with changing area.

Quiet, serene, spacious, and surrounded by recreation opportunities. It is a long dirt road in, but nothing challenging. No bear boxes, at least not on our site. Would definitely return.

Nice spacious site. But the toilets were pumped early and the RV generators were noisy since they were close to tent sites.

Great place to visit. We traveled to Glacier National Park and found that this campground was close enough to the park to be convenient. We were worried that the firewood we bought was a bit expensive however it ended up being good wood that didn’t burn quickly. All in all, very beautiful and equipped with kind hosts.

Worst park ever, unless you have dogs and love to let them run free, don't mind dog fights and their waste all over the beach. Dirt road access to campground but not that bad. Lake is large if you like boating.
