Philipsburg Bay Campground

Easy to get to, very popular. Paid campground $8 per night with senior and access passes, decent vault toilets, potable water, trash disposal, tall pines/shade, paved Loop A 1-24 first come first serve, Loop B has some first come first serve as well, Loop C no first come first serve. Cell service, plenty for zoom meetings. With shade, solar is challenging. No hook ups. Campfire rings and firewood for sale by the host. Need a water craft to get on lake for fishing.

This campground has many sites shaded by lodgepole pines. The sites are far enough apart and angled to give a nice sense of privacy. Some of the sites have electric, but there is essentially no water. Vault toilets are clean. Near the water, but not on it.

Nice flat sites, clean and heavily treed for shade.

What we really like about this campground: Sites are spread out enough and campground is wooded, so you aren't on top of your neighbors. Inside of the vault toilets were clean (granted we stayed at the start of the camping season) Close proximity to the lake 3 separate loops make it kid and bike friendly Firewood was for sale in Loop A for $5/bundle Some of the sites have electric! Verizon cell service was great! I had 5G most of the time.

What we didn't like so much: We were between two vault toilets, and suffered from fumes.

Great campground with some FCFS sites (loop A and 1/2 of loop B) and some reservable (1/2 of loop B and all of loop C).

There are no campsites directly on the lake, but there is a view of it from a few of the sites and it's an easy walk through the CG to get to it.

Lots of wildlife around and paved road to and through the CG

We spent a night here in June. We left a night early because a hard rain came in, but we had fun while we were there. The campground is very clean and quiet. Our kids loved the winding roads for their push bikes. The only thing we wished for was a dock, so we could easily fish with young kids.

Always love our stays here and Sharron the host is amazing and a hard worker. Takes great pride in her areas

This is a good campground and love the paved campsites for RV.  Very clean and camp host was very friendly. We will be back!

beautiful well kept campground right on a lake. loop A is first come first served, B&C are reservations only. $17 a night

Philipsburg Bay Campground is a beautiful large campground right on the shore of Georgetown lake.  This 69 site campground sits among large pine trees with campsites nicely spread apart.  The large trees give you plenty of shade throughout the day.  This paved campground is split up into three loops, two of which are first come first served, the other can be reserved.  The area also has a day use area and boat launch.  Cost is $15 per night.  Campground has trash service, and water is available during the summer season.  I visited in November so no water for me.  Each site has a picnic table and metal fire ring.  Several vault toilets are located in each loop.  Bear lockers are spread out through out the campground for food storage.

Saw a moose everyday we were here. No beach area nearby, only access to the water is the boat launch area by loop A. The water in the bay is a bit gross, but you can’t beat the views.

Nice, shaded little spot on the lake. Every site we saw was in the pines. Great for shade, terrible if you rely on solar. Electric hookups are available, but there are only one or two sites in the whole campground with them, so for most people this is borderline boondocking.

The area is beautiful. We heard wolves after dusk and saw elk at dawn. Fishing is good and plenty of waterfowl in the lake. Facilities are clean.

Lovely spot, zero bugs, spaced apart from others, plentiful clean bathrooms, and a boat launch. I will say that the red-necked grebes had a loud raucous party all night and while it was certainly festive, kinda hard to sleep. Thinking it was a mating ritual.

Really great, quiet spot despite not being far from anything. You can hear waterfowl from the lake and nothing else but still have cell reception if you want it.

The spots are spacious and quiet. It’s really clean and the camp hosts were nice.

What a beautiful campground! Next to a Great Lake, lots of space & wooded tree area! We enjoyed a great campfire & only stayed one night but it was great & would have stayed longer if we weren’t moving on. We are in a 28’ camper. Very quiet and nice. Lots of wood for $6

camphost was fantastic. very clean and quiet.

June 20-22, 2017. This campground has three loops. The third loop C is reservable, the other loops A and B are a first come basis. Most spots have views of the lake in a shaded area with an asphalt pad. $15 per night, good cell phone service, very clean facilities, and moose sightings daily. There is a dock for Lake access 500 yards from site. Philipsburg is a short drive where you can visit the brewery, good food, and candy store. The Discovery Bike Park is 15 minutes away, but only open Sat and Sunday.
