Great site! Great Campground Hosts! Everyone was respectful of the 10:00 p.m. "generators off" curfew!

The view is beautiful.... But the rest of the campground was disappointing... Is no one making sure things are taken care of?
Barking dogs in the swim area for two days. Generators running for hours (some past quiet time).
The spaces are a little tight, so make sure you get enough room to back up your RV. Also, many of the trees have been cut down and don't look like they are being replaced, so make sure to bring a shade structure of some kind.
We were super disappointed and ended up leaving 2 days early. :(

This is our favorite campground in Montana. The sites are large with ample parking for our vehicle, boat and travel trailer. The views of the lake are spectacular. It is a delight to launch our boat on Holter Lake and fish for trout and walleye. And, it is so great that we can now book reservations online. It was always a crap shoot to see if we would get a site when we drove up. Thank you!
