Stunning views, local party spot

Spectacular views from a few campsites on top of the walls, well spread out areas and definitely big rig friendly spots.

Lots of bottles and garbage on the beach from party's and around 2am some locals rolled through in louder trucks right past our spot.

Beautiful spot on water

Beautiful spot on the water, there were several dispersed camping spots to choose from around the lake. Some of them are very difficult to access with a larger rig. Only reason for 4 stars is because the locals have no respect for campers, they just drive right up and spend the afternoon drinking and carrying on right infront of our spot.

What a gem!!!

Stopped here on our way to Glacier NP. Pulled in on a Sunday and there was only 1 other camper in the area. We found a beautiful site overlooking the reservoir. Would definitely come back. I can see where it would get busy on a weekend. The road in and out is hilly and has a bit of washboarding, we made it in and out without any problems

Summer on the Hi-Line

Tons of people love to camp by Fresno in the summer. It's typically a boating/rv spot - some park their RV all summer at Fresno. It's a huge reservoir with great walleye fishing. Not pristine or tranquil, but a good time. Not for ideal for tent camping.
