Swan Lake Campground

Very large camp spot in Montana, lots of space and seclusion. Necessities available and camp spots scattered around the lake, good fishing, hiking and wild life observing. Kayaking most common here. It's Calm, peaceful and renewing. 

Swan Lake

This National Forest campground is beautiful. Very spacious sites, paved pads, and decent shade in the Ponderosa loop. Short walk to day use and water access on Swan lake and 16 min to Bigfork, hour to West Glacier. The camp hosts were so nice and sold firewood for $6/bundle. 

Hint: there was only one water spigot that we were able to use to fill our holding tank. It was directly across from our campsite Ponderosa loop 35. No dump station in the park so make sure you dump beforehand. 

Perfect Dry Camping

Stunning park across the street from the lake. In the evening we could hear the wolves howling.

Small and quaint 

Had a great one night stay here. Campground sites were just far enough apart to feel a little private. Great campground for dog walks - short walk over to the swan lake boat dock and the little trail along the water. Relatively short drive over to Flathead Lake areas as well! No service on Verizon
