Lake Five Resort

We lucked out without a reservation and was able to stay for 4 nights. Very nice hosts helped us orient on the site and we had a nice private area to relax. Boys loved the lake with the diving platform. Entire campground was very clean. Only drawback was 1 washer/1 dryer for entire campsite. We ended up going 10 minutes away to laudrymat in Hungry Horse.

Owners were very accommodating, we snuck in on their closing weekend to visit glacier national park. The showers were clean and hot, owners were courteous and so nice. And the view of the sunset from the lakeshore is amazing!

If you like camping stacked tent to trailer, this is your place. I can't believe how many sites they crammed into this small area.

Stayed here to see GNP, and would 100% live here fall year if I could. Not a corporate parking lot with pools and bars like a KOA, but a classic lake resort going back to a 100 years. Owners were the nicest camp hosts I have ever met and called me by name every time I spoke to them. The lake is cold and gin clear, just like you e over from a mountain lake. Only small complaint is that some of the sewer inlet locations are a bit wonky, but that’s what you expect from a 100 year old campground that is slowly upgraded through generations. Bring extra sewer hose, 90 degree elbows, and a sewer grommet or “donut” to help with connecting. They even offered me these things in the office if I hadn’t already had them.

Lake Five gets a high five! It’s a beautiful campground with RV and tent sites tucked in a lodge pole forest that sits on a clear mountain lake. This is a family oriented park with dirt and grassy sites that offer plenty of shade. Owners Dan and Lindsey happily accommodate and create a relaxing environment. You can rent their kayaks and paddle boards or bring your own. They have ice and firewood available other than that stock up on supplies. The nearest regular grocery is 35 minutes away in Whitefish. Be aware you’re practically off the grid here. Put away the phones and simply enjoy the outdoors.

Obviously a trip to West Glacier is a must. Initiated last year, all cars driving into the park require a permit. Be sure you purchase it online long before you get there - they sell out. Otherwise, you can walk or ride bikes the two miles into the park then take a shuttle.

We loved our stay there. Very quiet campground. Almost seems hidden from everyone else. We couldn’t get in anywhere else and almost gave up when we found this place. The lake is amazing and the campsites are pretty spacious and for the most part, private. We would recommend anyone to stay there. Very close to the park as well!

Such a sweet family owned place. The management team is very nice and accommodating. As with most of the parks in this area, it is well established. There are 3 levels of pricing. Hookups on the lake. Hookups in the tree covered area not on the lake and no services. w/e only. No sewer.. The camp store is kinda quirky. They have cabins, rooms, nice showers and laundry. Lots of water activities and a boat launch at the park. Cell is limited an wifi was not the best. It was fine at the office/camp store.

We stayed three nights in our new van . The caretakers are a fabulous 4 generation management team . It is a family friendly resort. Lots of water activities. It is 10 minutes from the West entrance to Glacier National Park .Highly recommend as home base to explore the park and not deal with the crowds inside .

We was planning to stay there last week on our trip across Midwest. We called to ask some questions on bears etc cause we are tent camping . When we call the gentleman said that they are still remodeling their shower houses and to my surprise!!! I just booked this 2 weeks ago and would have not if knew there was no showers! So I’m like we need showers we are camping for 3 days. He offered to upgrade us to cabins but at OUR EXPENSE... really!!!! I’m not the one who screwed up not telling someone.. so I canceled my order and their policy is a 60 days notice.. again I did this 2 weeks ago and again he did not tell me about the repairs going on .. so he charged me $50.50 handling fee for canceling so I’m very very disappointed and would never recommend or ever go there myself... I’m a business owner and rules are good but common sense is better if it’s my fault you make it “Right”!!!

We dropped the ball on our camping trip out west to glacier, did not reserve a camping spot and found this magical place via Dyrt. Upon arrival, we were offered two different camp sites - one in tent only camping with everyone else on the property and one secluded spot behind a small stage. The price per evening to camp is a little more than the parks, but you're given access to the grounds (on a beautiful lake) for your stay. The showers are clean as are the bathrooms. The property is family owned for generations and well kept. We were, at first, sad not to be able to camp at glacier - but on our next trip to Montana, we will reserve a spot at lake 5 without question. Located about 15 minutes from the park and the closest town, this place is a don't miss gem of the west.

We stayed here for about 4 weeks in Summer 2018. Great family camp right on the lake. Fairly isolated so not very crowded or touristy compared to other campgrounds in the area. Owner and employees are very friendly. Close to Glacier NP, so a good base camp to explore the area. Really enjoyed our time here.
