Dense Kootenai National Forest surrounds McGillivray Campground, where well-spaced sites accommodate RVs up to 32 feet along with tent campers. The US Forest Service manages this established campground from late May through mid-September, providing drinking water, restrooms, and a camp host. Campers access the site by road or boat, with a launch area on Lake Koocanusa nearby.
Cell service does not reach the campground. The location works well as a base for exploring Libby Dam and Kootenai Falls with its swinging bridge. For those planning extended stays in the region, campgrounds around Libby provide additional options within driving distance.
