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.
