Pull-offs along a forest road define most of McGinnis Creek, a dispersed camping area in Flathead National Forest west of West Glacier. One reviewer found a more isolated spot by turning onto a spur road off the main McGinnis Creek corridor. Cell service was reportedly usable. Campers wanting a developed site nearby can consider Camp off North Fork Road, about a mile southeast, or browse campsites near Flathead National Forest for a broader look at the area.
