The campground is good, near the lake and scenic. Bathrooms clean. Host missing some of the time but she is stretched thin. Lost water for a day. Terrible 7 miles of washboards to get there but that is not the campsites fault.

The campground is beautiful and well maintained. The toilets kept very clean. They have Kayaks and Canoes for rent as well as Sail Board. A very nice beach with picnic tables for day use.
The challenge to get there was that the GPS in my truck kept trying to take me through the old Tally Lake Road which is through and residential area and dead ends about two miles in. The GPS also give two different route in with one going down 12 mile fo dirt/gravel road and the other going on 4 miles of gravel road, which is the better route. Make sure to continue North on Highway 93 to the Farm to Market road which will take you to the shorter Dirt/gravel road.

It's much further away from Glacier than I expected. However, it was quiet, mostly clean and very secluded. Other than the road to get there, I was very satisfied.

Tally Lake was beautiful. The campsites were nice. The gravel road to and from the campground was long and very bumpy.
