Best camp host and great place to camp!

We just did a 2400 mile trip from Utah to Glacier NP and down through Idaho stopping at 10 campgrounds along the way. What a fun place to stay here, the camp host (Jill) was the sweetest lady ever! Greeting us before we could get set up, she has been there 7 years and maintains the place very well! Nice and quiet with a beautiful drive up from the main road. Will be returning here in the future!

Beautiful

The campsite is clean and right by the water. There’s a ton of access to hikes and different places around the lake. Hiking up to granite mountain lookout was a highlight.
