"Most of the sites are along the water, but seem a little close to one another. Fortunately, the woman at the gate told me about sites T1 and T3."

$18 - $24 / night
"West Shore State Park was a beautiful way to spend an afternoon after kayaking to Wild Horse Horse Island State Park nearby. The water was clear and the dogs throughly enjoyed splashing around."
"On Flathead Lake with views of the lake. Choose loop B if you want electric. Loop A doesn't have electric and is closer to the highway. Good trails to the lake."
$18 - $54 / night
"It’s about 3 miles of the main road around Flathead lake , nestled in a beautiful lakeside neighborhood."
"There are a select few sites yards away from the water, each with a bit of beach. The biting bugs were minimal, but the swarms of other bugs were impressive, and the fish obviously loved them."
$18 - $144 / night

"This is a private, tribal run campground about half way up the eastern shore of Flathead Lake."

"It was the cheapest option around the Flathead we could find and we were not disappointed! It was perfect for our needs that week."
ScoutMostly peaceful and camp neighbors pretty far apart. Only thing is since it's a river access cars come and go from early to late
TravelerNice place. Great stop before and after primitive camping. Clean site, bathrooms, laundry and a well needed HOT shower! Very friendly staff that's eager to answer any questions.
GuideVery quiet and relaxing. Loved the people and camp host as very friendly.
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.
ScoutThis is a great campground that can accommodate just about any RV as well as tent campers. Choice of full hookups, water and electric or dry camping.
RangerMoved a few minutes further to this camp spot. Lots of bigger rigs at this camp site. There are wide open spots by the curve of loop. No services or cell service here. Bathrooms are available but no dumpsters.
The river was so soothing to hear. Didn’t go in due to the current being so strong. The train didn’t really bother me. Kinda cool seeing it across the river bend.
Seems like this place gets pretty full! I can see why.
RangerThis spot is quick before the turn on the road. Don’t miss it! The path to get to these spots is kinda tight. Our car was hitting branches. There are some along the road, but if you drive further down there are more spots and a bathroom. There is one spot by the water.
Dry camping. No amenities, and no service (but starlink worked great). We got here earlier in the day, towards evening more cars showed up. Car noise from the road dies down around 9pm.
It’s bug season so make sure to bring bug spray!
