We had made reservations for a camping spot in February. When we arrived in May we found that our 38 foot Motorhome would not fit in the space so the camp host put us in the parking lot. We were there for 7 days and there were camping spots that were empty. The camp host had no authority to put us in another spot. They said all camp spots were reserved but were empty all the time we were there. If it would have been later in the year when the weather gets hot it would have been miserable.
They should have someone on sight that has some authority on placing campers in better spots than the parking lot. And the main office was closed so we had to track down the park host.
I think the park needs to have better plans for people with bigger campers or put a limit on the length. Also the boat docks were not set up very well for handy cap people.

The campground hosts are friendly and do a very good job. I am not sure I like or appreciate the expanding campsite reservation system yet. It is nice to know you have a campsite when you get there. Some of the drawbacks are that the system allows people to reserve the prime spots and then not use them. It seems like rather than let people reserve the sites and then just leave them sit empty, there should be a way to make "No Show" sites available to others. I feel there needs to be more sites available to "first come, first served" especially at Log Gulch. Is there a limit on how many sites can be reserved in advance? Last year it seemed that some of the prime lakefront sites were used by the same people every weekend. Can people go online when reservations open up early in the year and reserve the same sites for every weekend all summer long? Seems like some people can reserve the best sites and may or may not even use them. They don't bother to cancel they just block the site from others being able to use them. There should be a limit on the number of days a site can be reserved and then not be able to reserve other sites until the first reservation is used.

Clean quiet campground, at least in October. The camp hosts were helpful and friendly. We took a day trip to the Charlie Russell museum in Great Falls.
