Take it over

4 stars if you can get multiple sites next to each other as this isn’t a large area. You’ll most likely have very little tree cover or privacy here. The best reservoir + creek water scenes are off the most open campsites, while the couple of sites on the creek only have some trees around them. The overall feel of the space is unique in very good ways, however, and the openness could lead to some memorable reunions or annual get-togethers. The views of the creek and reservoir are straight-up lovely, making those photos ones you’ll want to keep.

Close to Glacier

We ended up at Doris Creek while searching for a campground that was close to Glacier but not in the park (since we didn't make any reservations). It's a decent campground with nice lake access. The sites seem to be catered more towards RVS and campers than tents (we pitched our tent on a patch of gravel) but the ground was level. Pit toilets are available and each campsite has a picnic table.
