What Guests Are Saying

North Tongue is a peaceful and clean campground with well-maintained bathrooms, ample space for larger trailers, and great opportunities for fishing and wildlife viewing, including moose and deer. While some sites have slopes and noise from nearby recreational traffic can be an issue, overall, visitors appreciate the friendly camp host and the cozy atmosphere. Reservations are recommended due to the campground's popularity, and the addition of electricity would enhance the experience.
