Lindbergh Lake Campground

5 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Sitting at the edge of Lindbergh Lake in Flathead National Forest, this free, first-come campground runs two separate loops: one lakeside, the other set back in the trees and walkable to the water. The layout means site character varies considerably. Some spots have rock fire rings, others metal fire pits, and reviewers note there are no picnic tables. Sites are spaced out from each other, which helps even when the campground fills up, and the lower loop near the water tends to go first.

Water access is the main draw. There is no beach, but a boat launch gives paddlers and boaters a direct entry point to the lake, and one reviewer notes a trail leads to a small beach area nearby. Kayaks and paddleboards are common on the water. Mosquitoes are active in the mornings and evenings, so repellent is worth packing. Wildlife moves through camp too, and as Elizabeth N. observed, "Two large bucks walked through in the morning, so be aware of wildlife."

A few practical details matter here. The campground is free and takes no reservations, which creates real pressure on weekends and holidays. Arriving mid-week is the safer approach. There is no trash service, so everything must be packed out. Drinking water is available on site, along with a toilet, though supplies like toilet paper can run out. Nearby, Lindbergh Lake Boat Ramp and Meadow Lake Road Dispersed — Flathead NF provide overflow options if the main loops are full when you arrive.

Visitors often highlighted this free lakeside campground for its quiet nights and great value. Many mentioned the primitive facilities and variable site sizes, with high demand requiring early arrival.

Nice place for a weekend getaway

Small campsites depending on the one you get, but they are spaced out from each other unlike other sites in the area. Also has a trail to a small beach to relax by.

Bring your kayak or paddle board

There are two loops to this campground- one is on the lake and the other is a bit further up the road. We stayed at the "additional sites " loop and it was walkable to the lake, even with kids.

There is not a beach here, but a boat launch. Lots kayaks and paddle boards.

There are a few bear boxes throughout the campground and a toilet.

NO TRASH. You must pack out your trash so be prepared.

Site vary in size and terrain. Our site had a rock fire ring. Others had a metal fire pits. There are no tables.

It was a little primitive, but if that's what your looking for this is the place.

This campground is first come for spots, no reservations and it's free so there is definitely higher demand. We arrived on a Thursday and got the last available spot. Several cars later in the day circled around looking for spots.

There were also a few spots "occupied" with a trailer and chairs, but no one at the site during the 2 days we were there. I suspect they claimed spots in anticipation of the weekend. Not cool if you ask me, but I guess that is to be expected in a remote campground with no supervision.

Lots of mosquitos morning and evening.

Two large bucks walked through in the morning, so be aware of wildlife.

Pretty Spot

This is a free campsite, we stayed on the lake loop, There is water available. Very busy place. One group of people would leave and there would be someone in the site within an hour or two. There is a loop a little before the lake which is wooded. We were there for July 4 weekend and were told to be ready for an amazing display of fireworks and they were right! Lasted about 2 hours - private fireworks but were beautiful. Husband kayaked and larger boats were in the water. For being as busy as it was the nights were quiet.

Get away from the crowds

We camped here three nights over Memorial Day weekend. It was moderately busy but had no problem getting a spot on the upper loop. The lower loop is more desirable as it is lakeside is where the only outhouse is. Bring your boat... Lindburg Lake is beautiful.
