Beautiful

I have to start off by saying the noise from the highway is obnoxious. However the lake is absolutely beautiful and the sites are very disbursed. The camp host was super sweet and very attentive. We enjoyed the walk along the shoreline, about a mile and a half of a trail. Definitely would stay again❤️

Nice spot in the middle of nowhere

We loved McGreggor Lake RV park.  Only here two nights but right near McGreggor Lake.  Restaurant accross street but no stores or services for 40 miles.  Clean park.

Amazing Lake, Perfect Camphosts

McGregor Lake campground is a family favorite. The lake is big, clean, has great fishing and crawdadding. The camp grounds are nice and level with tent camping along the lake. Most RV's and pull behinds are parked in a separate area but with such an amazing view it's all just perfect. Speaking of perfect... the camp hosts. So friendly and personable. Just remember to follow the posted rules, you will get chased off if you try to swim off the boat ramp. 😉

MacGregor Lake, in the Thompson Chain of Lakes

The lake, in the midst of the Thompson Chain of Lakes, is amazingly beautiful. This is a good destination for water activities and fishing. The campsites are basic and a bit rough. Located quite a bit off the beaten path, so be sure to bring groceries and supplies as it is a good trek in to Libby or Kalispell if you forget something
