This trail is typically clear and snow-free by early to mid-July
Follow Trail 690 as though heading to Glacier Lake through the mature forest along Glacier Creek. In about one mile the trail will approach the junction of Trail 690 and Trail 742, stay right on Trail 690 and start heading up the numerous, but well-graded switchbacks. While on the switchbacks don’t forget to look down onto Glacier Lake and into the basin in select locations. Trail 690 takes off to the hikers’ right towards Crescent Lake, while trail 708 will continue contouring the hillside, crossing rocky slopes and offering fantastic views of the area ahead. After climbing a couple more switchbacks, the forest becomes sparse and opens up into an alpine environment. Keep a close eye out for mountain goats on this trail. The trail then narrows and descends along rocky ledges down to Lagoon Lake. Due to rocky conditions, stock use in not recommended past Lagoon Lake From Lagoon Lake, an unmaintained trail skirts around, over, and down rock ledges to the roaring outlet of Turquoise Lake.

Pretty campground. Saw lots of deer running around. Pit toilets were clean and sites were nice. Enjoyed having a fire and it was free in the off season.
Ranger
The campsites are big and spacious. Even though the sites are open, they still feel private thanks to the natural layout and surrounding trees. The lake is incredibly clear and beautiful. One of the highlights of our stay was the stunning sunrise over the water—waking up to those colors reflecting off the lake was absolutely breathtaking. There was only a few campers when we were there. Warning: there are bears in the area. We didn't see any, but saw some evidence of them.
GuideGreat camping spot. We camped over on a Friday night at the end of September. Free because it was out of the normal season, but because it was the last sliver of summer, it definitely filled up. However, they only had the first loop open (group and second loop of sites were closed). Being out of normal season, trash was all locked up but not a big deal.
Lake was spectacular and beautiful, would recommend!

The Missoula KOA appears to be the only game in town. I guess that is why they can charge a premium price and leave you with two choices, take it or leave it. Only problem is we could not find another place so we "took it".
This is a big and busy campground. Lots of good things about it. For example, for a premium price, you can get a site with your own private dog run. Two older but OKay hot tubs and a heated swimming pool. Bicycle and other stuff rental. Everything from tent sites, cabins, small full hook-up sites to large spacious premium sites. Despite some of the bad reviews, the staff was very friendly to us and, because of no parking for our Tesla, they were able to move us to a better site. WARNING: You are not allowed to plug in any electric car. We were warned that if we plugged in our Tesla, we would be fined and asked to leave the park immediately. The Tesla supercharger was less than two miles away so no problem for us. Wifi was great. 34 mbs. AT&T was 2 bars 5G.
The BAD: Very busy. Many days in summer they are 100 per cent booked. Make reservations early and be specific what you need. Be ready to pay a premium price, even for tent camping. Camp is old but well kept. Bathrooms are clean but very old style and shower stalls are very small and not handicapped friendly. Surrounded by lots of older double-wide's. Some well kept and some not so well kept. Not friendly to electric cars (see warning above). Several times during our stay they paused their golf cart in front of our Tesla, I assume making sure we did not plug in.

Old lady was sweet to us, I saw the reviews about her being not so sweet but she was nice and got us in last minute. The gentleman brought us a whole tractor full of wood and was nice as well. Trees were down like other reviews stated, they mentioned they had a massive storm. Not something I feel they should be judged for, they were concerned about my kids and asked them to keep away from the left side because of that.
Guide
Reserved this deamy site right on the water. Tent 1 is closest to parking but has the most traffic going by to the other sites.
Pit toilet nearby and a quick drive to flushable toilets. Showers available with tokens from the camphost ($3 for 6 minutes) but camphost weren't around when I was looking so no personal experience here.
Guide
Got a walk in site when I showed up in the afternoon. All that was left was an RV site and they let me tent there. Even though I wasn't on the water, still got a water view! Pit toilet bathroom was close by, and sometimes the smell wafted over when the wind changed.
SUP, kayak rentals on water, reasonably priced. The beach was rocky and perfect!
In the morning, I spotted a black bear on a hill. Follow bear protocol well.
GuideAbsolutely love this campground. They were so accommodating when we booked a site our unit wouldn’t fit on they gladly moved us.
If you aren’t right on the water, you’re definitely a short distance away.
The amenities are great and the camp hosts are always friendly. Definitely worth staying here.
GuideThis is a cute little camp site. We were right next to the river which was amazing. But some of the sites are for permanent residents, which feels weird. They have a laundry room, showers and bathrooms. Not the cleanest. But do the trick. A little road noisy. But loved the attention to the flowers and the grounds.
Traveler
Campsite are separated a good distance, not very many. There might be hookups in the round end of the, not positive. Fire pits available. 2 Bathrooms available. Large picnic benches. Pretty sure first come first serve.
Guide
Absolutely beautiful backpacking loop! About 6 miles in you will reach your destination of turquoise lake. I camped here on 6/19 and it was absolutely beautiful despite the “winter weather” This is a dispersed site so you can set your tent up anywhere within reason at the lake, however the terrain here is VERY rugged and most sites won’t fit anything larger than a 1 person backpacking tent. There are a few spots that can fit stuff bigger, but they’re a pain in the butt and you’ll probably have to walk far to set up a cook site/bear hang. Hang your food! There’s lots of wildlife at this lake and you will more than likely be neighbors with some goats. If you come in June prepare yourself for bugs. You MUST pack out what you pack in. You can filter water from the lake, but I would recommend hiking in with water as well.
ScoutWe wanted to camp (not charge, just park the car and camp) and once they found out we have an electric car they would not allow us to even come on the property. It does not mention this anywhere.

First off, I think people are afraid to leave honest reviews. Probably due to this Park's location. I will be as objective as possible.
We found this on Dyrt, thankfully, as we were driving 1300 miles home from Glacier. This had openings, and was on Flathead Lake. Huge win there.
We pull up, and the girl working there gave us both a brief look that we both thought was a bit strange. We didnt think much of it. There were several cameras at the entrance. We paid $35 and went to our lake front campsite. We set up quick, and went to use the bathroom. My girlfriend said there was blood all over the floor in hers. The men's had 3 adolescents hanging out in there. They weren't particularly friendly, but not rude either. They were charging their phones. There were bugs everywhere, including the showers. I wouldnt use the shower here. I was about to leave the bathroom, and a crying child came in. I asked what happened and he wouldn't tell me.
We got back to our site, and my girlfriend started crying. This was a unique experience, as we do a fair bit of camping, and haven't experienced anything like this. As this is happening, a 30-something man comes around the corner flipping some sort of ninja stick around. He wasnt threatening, but that added to the already somewhat bizarre experience. He ended making 4 or 5 laps around, but was ultimately minding his own business.
If you are not Native American, you will most likely be a minority here. This might bother some people. I personally dont care, and even enjoy being exposed to other cultures.
TL;DR: This has the feel of a public park, on a reservation, with campsites. Affordable and available lakefront camping. I'd camp here again, but I may not count on super restful sleep. It wouldn't be my first option, and I'd feel better having something to protect myself.
ScoutThis is Steve at the Missoula KOA. I have seen him being unnecessarily aggressive and yelling at clueless campers before. So when he aggressively chased and swerved in front of my brothers car WITH my kids in it for accused speeding I stopped and watched from a distance. When I heard him starting to yell I intervened. You don’t yell at, towards, or around my kids. I told him to back off and he refused. He only got angrier and louder. Granted, I yelled back but we eventually parted ways. I returned to my RV to get out of wet clothes and immediately went to the office looking for a manager. They said he has been notified and should be calling me soon. On my way back to my site I saw Steve pull up to my RV where my Wife, kids, and brother were. He came there looking for a fight and I could hear him yelling at my wife and brother from down the street. That’s when I STARTING YELLING AT HIM TO GET AWAY. I told him multiple times(not on video) to go to the office and get a manager. He only got angrier. Unknown to me at the time, he reached and attempted to pull out his gun multiple times. If it wasn’t for his loose pants catching the gun and co-worker showing up, I’d be dead. The manager never called. He never had the intention to call and smooth things over to make us feel at ease for the night. After two hours I called the office. They said“he should call soon”. I needed action taken that night so I had to file charges with the police. My poor kids were absolutely terrified at this point. I didn’t hear from the manager until the next morning when they kicked me out for yelling at their employee. All they did was defend him. Even after they reviewed video with law enforcement. Good thing I was already leaving. My kids were so scared and did not feel safe there. Do yourself a favor and go through the reviews. This isn’t an isolated incident.

TravelerThe good, Good phone service for Verizon, great view of the lake,
The bad, Had people walking by telling us to get off there land, bathrooms are very dirty, very expensive for the type of camp spots available.
Good for a quick stop, but not an extended stay.
GuideFrom the first phone call to reserve a spot till we left, it was an amazing experience! First of all, Julie is awesome at the front gate. She was so patient with us and got us a great last minute spot. We loved it so much that we stayed another night! The lakefront spots are killer!!! The sites are very spacious and well maintained. The bathrooms are impressive as well. We will definitely be back next year! Thank you Julie and Melissa for making our stay so memorable and welcoming. You two are awesome!!!!
Guide
Definitely not a spot that caters to our normal priorities as it's more of a family hangout or long term place, as expected being an RV park. But it worked well as a stop-off spot for laundry, showers, electric recharge, and water fill before continuing on our way the next morning. We were worried it'd be loud being so close to the freeway, but surprisingly couldn't hear it at all.
Facilities: Laundry, showers that feel like home more than any other we've been to, mini-golf, playground, convenience store
Cell Service: As expected plenty of service being so close to Missoula
Starlink: All sites are open to the sky
Solar: All sites are open to the sky

Stayed here on our way home from Colorado. Great night in the woods would stay here again. Sites are very private. Firewood for sale. Pit toilets. Clean campground.
ScoutThe dispersed campground near the start of Johnsrud Rd (Mile Marker 28 on Hwy 200) has been removed. However, 2 new campgrounds have been added, and the entire road is now paved making RV accessibility much easier.
The three campgrounds are as follows:
Thibodeau Campground- 5 mi in
Corrick River Bend - 11 mi in
Ninemile Prarie- 13 mi. in
Scout
Just a clean and quiet park. Just what you need to get away
Guide
Great camping spot! Very quiet and quaint with beautiful views and lake fishing.
Traveler
Very much enjoyed my stay and my hosts (super sweet couple from PA!). Impeccable grounds, enjoyed my neighbors, so convenient to everything in Polson, and hope to return soon.
ScoutWe did not have reservations so got a last spot by dumpsters, water and power, no sewer. Dumping at their station in am, she came zooming down to ask if we needed help, said we had stayed in #1 but were charged $10 to dump
Guide
Peaceful wooded site with the confluence of the Blackfoot and North Fork Blackfoot. Several sites right along the river. Toilet and a single shared bear box among about 8 sites, although I was there Friday night in early August and was the only camper there.
The road back to the campground would be tough for trailers, I think.
Guide
Good river access, the spaces are somewhat spread out but only 8 or so total. Toilet was good and clean. It was so smokey unfortunately so I didn’t hang too long
Guide
Great views. Tent spot is around $30. This place was great. The porta potty was the cleanest one I’ve ever been to. You have to fill up your own water for the shower. There is potable well water and a canoe if you wanted to row in the pond.
Guide
Great place to soak up in the hot springs. They have a huge variety of separate pools to choose from. $35 for tent spot and $14 per person to soak in their hot spring pools. Beautiful views all around.
