This was my first time camping within Glacier NP, so I checked out a few places. Fish Creek campground looked huge on the website, but felt much more private and spread out. I was at the end of loop D, so there were few neighbors and the site backed up to Fish Creek. While access to Fish Creek was dicey (thick underbrush) it was easy to take a quick walk to Lake McDonald.

Lots of people respectfully and quietly walking around the paved roads of the campground, including a friendly ranger who invited us to a nightly ranger presentation they do in the Fish Creek pavilion. The loops are on a slope down to the lake, so kids with scooters and bikes didn’t have the best setup.

Easy in/out privileges so you can drive over to Apgar and visit the store, souvenir shops, cafe, etc. The parking over at Apgar was a nightmare with tourists all over the road, so I was glad to have chosen Fish Creek instead.
