ScoutYou can park in the tea kettle river access and walk south along the rivers bank to access large areas of public land for free camping. There are toilets and trash bins available at the river access.
ScoutFantastic location to western Glacier NP. Riding bike or walking to West Glacier Village takes minutes. Sites are larger than we were expecting. Overall fantastic campground and location.
RangerThe drive to get to this spot is 4ish miles of unpaved rocky road. I’m assuming the people who frequent this road are used to it, but they are flying down the road and can cause not to see the person behind them. So make sure to have your lights on in the day coming here. There’s only 3 spots for camping in a big rig, but there is parking for people in tents.
We had originally parked in the spot by the water, assumed it was a spot as there is no signage and there was a fire pit next to it. We were informed that it’s an unofficial boat launch so we moved to one of the other spots.
The road is somewhat loud, assuming because of the rocks and fast cars- not a big deal as it dies down at night.
There is a a vaulted toilet. No other amenities. There is a trail by the woods that leads to water but you can also go directly to the water by the launch. Strong currents.
ScoutDeep rutted muddy holes filled with water to get to site. Sketchy low trees and narrow road. Decided not to risk it in my van
GuideThe road is rough but next to the river. Nothing fancy at all but quiet and relaxing.
ScoutGreat campground for families. Great accommodations and friendly staff.
RangerLid Creek Campground is in the Hungry Horse Recreation area on the Hungry Horse Reservoir. The lake, Salish Mountains and Montana’s big sky are all front and center here. Lid Creek is 15 miles off U.S. 2 on a very winding but paved road. The road down to the campground is gravel, lots of tight turns but generally in good shape; we did just fine towing our 30 ft travel trailer. Double-check the campsite length when you reserve - some sites are very short and a smallish car would have trouble fitting.
The campsites include picnic table and fire pit, there are vault toilets throughout the campground and bear-proof food boxes - there are definitely bears in the area. Keep pets close by and please store food in the storage boxes. There is NO WATER available at the campground so bring your own or you’ll be frustrated. Camp host was terrific and has firewood at the host site right as you enter the campground. We had 5G of T-Mobile which was very surprising considering how far off the main highway the campground is. West Glacier is about 45 minutes away and a very easy drive from Lid Creek Campground. We loved it!
