McGillivray

Tucked into the dense Kootenai Forest is a true gem off the beaten path. This was one of our favorite N F S campgrounds in Montana. The host was great. The campground well maintained. The sites were well spaced. I think 32 ft is the max. There is potable water avail. No cell. So just string up your hammock and enjoy all the sounds of nature. There is a boat launch area on the Koonusa River/lake/Reservoir. Check out Libby Dam and the Kootenai Falls and swinging bridge. It's worth the extra drive. Also, for a beautiful scenic drive, continue north on 228 until you get to the bridge that crosses over the north end, take it across and head back south until it meets back up with 228. Even though it was smokey when we did it, it was still beautiful.
