Tally Lake Campground

Talley Lake campground is located in the Flathead National Forest west of Kalispell MT. Road heading into Talley is not paved and not well maintained, road is rutted from heavy usage in both summer and winter travel. Campground has about 40 camping locations with a pubic boat launch. Talley Lake is the second deepest lake in Montana with plenty of fishing spots. North American Bald Eagle have been spotted here in the past.

Watch out for the Eagles .... 

Tally lake

Great place, volleyball court and pavillion. Can get extremely busy though. Great cliff jumping!

Beautiful

Very busy in the summertime, which sadly meant a good bit of trash left behind and a good bit of noise. Other than that, we had a beautiful site overlooking the water. Some of the roads to get to various sites require high clearance vehicle.

Wake up overlooking the lake

It is a wonderful campground. There is water and a dump station available. The lake is amazing. Cliff jumping was a blast and the water wasn’t too cold to spend the day in it. Best 10 days I ever spent camping. 

Beautiful piece of heaven  

Between 4 &amp; 5 stars... something for everyone. There’s good dispersal camping by the creek (towards the north shore campsites) and lots of different campsites, all medium to large, some right on road, some more secluded. Boat rentals on lake, friendly camphost, no electric hookups but firewood for sale and potable water. This is a wonderfully undeveloped lake just big AND small enough, and surrounded by dark green pines all the way around. Younger daughter of camphost said #38 is best site... quieter, bigger, with a short trail right down to the lake-but far enough away (not right on the water like 34) to lessen the mosquitos. 

Everyone Comes Away Happy

We are normally tent campers. Bought an RV and tried it here first. Great little spot to spend a few days away from town. 
Pros: Awesome host, nice campsites, clean bathrooms, hiking trails nearby, firewood delivered to your site, fishing, boating, swimming is just a small walk away. The deepest or second deepest lake in Montana.

Cons: Some of the road is washboarded, but not to bad if you drive slow. No electric (not needed anyway, you are camping ;)  ) 

All in all... a great place to go enjoy some nature.
