Just what we needed

Had a great stay here. There are two campgrounds, one first come first served (good luck getting one of those) and one to be reserved through Recreation.gov. We reserved. Had a site right near the lake. No problem getting in with our 38’ MH. No cell service to speak of (good thing). No electric, water, or sewer. Spent a lot of time out on the water on the paddle boards. Kids and dogs all enjoyed the water and the views were fantastic. West entrance to GNP is only 30 minutes away. Heading back again.

Small but mighty

This forest service campground has only 5 sites but well worth the 8 mile drive on a paved road. Lake/Mountain View’s are picturesque. Be prepared to share your site with mule deer as they wonder through the grounds. Vault toilet is available.

Lots of People Have Made Up for Johnny

Lots of traffic here. It’s not hard to see why - lots of services like wood and water, marvelous location both in ease of finding and where it is on this massive reservoir, and some campsites right on the water. It’s probably better for smaller groups and avid fisherpeople, because the sites aren’t that large or unique. This is all within the small reservable side of the campground, where all my pics come from. The first-come-first-serve side is even smaller but feels more private due to the extra tree cover.

Beautiful Hungry Horse

Small campsites with nice wooded settling. Very reasonable access to the West gate of Glacier National Park. There is also dispersed camping in the National Forest along this same road for late comers or those who want a little more primitive and quiet experience.

Cozy little escape by the water

A nice little spot near the water with trails with access down to the water. Spectacular sunset and sunrise views, and the stars are amazing. Outhouses nearby, camp host, and fire rings. Close to Glacier National Park.

Lost Johnny

This was an adventure for our family. We arrived to the road that lead to the campground only to see we had to go over Hungry Horse Reservoir. I am not one to like bridges, but there we were. After crossing the bridge it takes about 4 miles to get to the campground. Be advised that this campground has 2 sections- first section is for first come and the next is for reserved sites. We had reservations but managed to not read the sign posted for walk ins and found ourselves a nice big site for our Montana 40’ 5th wheel im the walk ins section. The host was nice enough toshow us the other side but we figired the walk in section was better for our RV. It took some maneuvering but we settled.The campground is located in Flathead National Forest which is beautiful. Plenty of shade and a stream to admire. One vault restroom and a water spigot are available.You can run a generator from 6am-10pm. We saw a lot of people fishing and kayaking in the area. It takes about 15-20 minutes to get to West Glacier from this point. Overall a great experience.Be advised that this is bear country, all food must be stored!!!
