If you've ever been to Glacier National Park, you know it is all about the wild, raw beauty of the landscape. This is not a highly commercialized park, nor is it a huge tourist draw the way other more accessible parks are. This means you are typically camping with nature lovers in an environment that feels natural.

Fish Creek, while a BIG campground, is organized well and feels quite small. I camped in the non-Rav area where the loops are secluded with trees dividing most sites, so you will not be aware of the large number of people around you. The rangers and host are very present and patrol frequently, so noise rules are enforced. The sites sit just along Lake McDonald, and with a short hike through the woods you are standing on the banks of a beautiful glacial lake.

There are free showers here (!!!), along with flush toilets and plenty of bear lockers (I had two on my site).

The only real downside to me is that you are not allowed to gather wood AND there's no wood for sale on-site here. you'll have to drive 10 minutes to the nearest village to buy it, and those shops close by 5/6pm, so late arrivals may have a challenge.
