I can not recommend this campsite enough. We stayed at #37 right by the lake, the spot was right off the lake and was an amazing view to wake up to. The camp hosts were polite, helpful and couldn’t have been nicer. The site is a little ways away from Glacier but is worth the trek.
They sell firewood and have clean restrooms.

campsites were clean and the grounds were well kept. The store employees were friendly . camping reservations were clearly posted at each campsite. Nice trail on the east side of the lake and Little Lava Lake was very beautiful as well.

Campsites are very very close together, so if you want privacy, this isn't for you.
It is a nice campground though and mostly well-maintained. Bathrooms on our last day were pretty bad, so I think consistency on busy weekends is needed.
Nice having the store right there to be able to buy ice or just treats for kids.
