Moose Lake

3 ReviewsAdd Review

The road to Moose Lake ends at a small campground with just a few sites positioned directly on the water. Campers reach this Forest Service destination via a long drive from the main road, with snow sometimes blocking access into late spring according to visitor reports. The campground provides basic amenities including toilets and allows campfires, pets, and alcohol during its May through October season.

Brian N. describes the location as "a really small campground at the end of the road" with limited dispersed tent camping spots but ample day-use parking. The lake itself remains calm and quiet, offering water access for those who secure one of the lakeside sites. Campers seeking solitude will find campsites near Olney as part of the broader Flathead National Forest system, though this particular spot works best for those comfortable with minimal facilities and remote access conditions.

A small, remote campground with lakeside sites offering a peaceful setting. Limited to just a few dispersed camping spots, requiring a long drive from the main road but providing direct lake access.

Great Little Spot

Long drive from the main road. I think there are 3 campsites right on the lake. One was a little farther up the road. Snow was over the road still but not too deep.

Small and limited camping

Moose Lake is a really small campground at the end of the road. Plenty of parking for day use but limited to only a few spots for dispersed tent camping. Lake was very calm and quiet. I would have rated this 3 stars if they had more camping spots.

Great week

Spent a week at the campground had a great experience. The campground was pretty quiet when we were there but I did hear it can get loud.
