Lakeview, near Flathead, Montana, is a charming spot for those seeking a peaceful camping experience by the Hungry Horse Reservoir. With a handful of sites that come equipped with picnic tables and fire pits, it’s perfect for enjoying evenings around the fire while soaking in the stunning views.

This location is known for its natural beauty, with easy access to the lake for some relaxing moments by the water. Visitors have mentioned that the sites are spacious enough for both tents and rigs, making it a versatile choice for different camping setups. One camper noted, “My site’s lake access made for a great place to watch the sun rise,” highlighting the picturesque mornings you can expect here.

While amenities are limited—there's no drinking water or electric hookups—campers appreciate the simplicity and the chance to truly disconnect. The nearby gravel road can get a bit dusty, but that’s part of the rustic charm. Plus, you can bring your pets along, making it a great spot for the whole family.

If you’re up for a bit of adventure, this area is just a short drive from Glacier National Park, where you can explore breathtaking trails and scenery. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a longer stay, Lakeview offers a laid-back atmosphere that’s hard to beat.

Quiet camping in the reservoir

Beautiful campsite right by the hungry horse reservoir. Most sites have a fire pit. Large enough for tents and a rig. Sites have a picnic table as well. Lots of bugs though! Such a beautiful place to camp.

Quiet but dusty

Only 5 sites here, three in one direction and two in the other from the entrance, with a pit toilet in the middle. It looks like all 5 sites have a trail to the lake (I was able to check out 3 of the sites), with site 2 and site 5 having the best lake access. Site 5 looks like it has the flattest area for a tent, but I had no problems in site 2. My site’s lake access made for a great place to watch the sun rise. Nice but small gravel parking pads (wouldn’t suggest bringing a trailer down here), with two of them being doubles. All sites had the usual picnic table and fire pit. Warning, it will be dusty here as the main gravel forest road is just up the hill.

Free campground in the National Forest

Sites have a fire pit. It’s free. close to the lake. The bathroom was pretty clean. Good for being a car access spot.

The best place to camp

While somewhat hard to get to (roughly 20 miles on a winding gravel/dirt road following Hungry Horse Reservoir) this was one of my favorite spots to camp during the entirety of my cross country road trip. We had a large flat site to park the car with a short trail down to the water with stunning views. Roughly an hour and a half drive from Glacier National Park (most of which is due to the unpaved Forest Road to get here).
