"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."
"This campground is the furthest north on the west side of the lake making Kalispell and Lakeside extremely accessible if need be."
"I love living in Montana and being able to hike some of the best spots ever. Flathead is also an amazing spot, so really any campground in the area is good in my opinion."
"Very close to the beautiful town of Bigfork and great amenities, yet it feels tucked away. Right on Flathead lake, can’t beat the views!"
"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."
"Flathead Lake is a very large wonder of nature and the town of Polson is perfectly situated. You will not see a more gorgeous mountain range. "
$30 - $56 / night
"Awesome location. Quiet. Montana views ..."
"Grinnell Cabin is set on the eastern edge of the campground and on the edge of a beautiful meadow.
The full moon rose over the meadow and the sunrise was magical the next morning."
$14 - $120 / night
"My wife and I headed to Montana on a whim. We knew it would be difficult to find a campsite just for one night. After, many calls, Dennis had a single night availability."
"Great campground right on Lake Mary Ronan with full hookups, good sites with tables and fire pits (no fires allowed Aug 2021). "
$18 - $140 / night
"It was the cheapest option around the Flathead we could find and we were not disappointed! It was perfect for our needs that week."
$26 - $55 / night
"My family and I recently stayed at Rollings RV Park on Flathead Lake in Montana, and we loved it!"
"Our first time to Flathead lake. Spots were booking up quick around the lake. Found this gem, got a spot reserved for Labor Day weekend. The park is very clean and well maintained."
"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."
$52 / night
"Sunsets, hot air balloons, massage on rivers edge (covid free). Staff is fabulous."
"Some highway traffic noise. Spots are close, but plenty of grass space. Not all have fire pits, so if that is important, be sure to ask. Big unfenced dog playground. Friendly and helpful staff."
GuideA few campsite options, some smaller than others. Lots of green forest and some bugs. Just a few miles from the west entrance to Glacier National Park. No water
GuideThe access road was very small and difficult to find near a corner of the highway. Once we found it it was small and had limited with due to Big trees. It's fairly steep down to the river. Once we reach the bottom we drove through some nicely spaced campsites with picnic tables and fire grates. There's also a concrete vaulted pit toilet. Don't be put off by the spray paint that signs cuz if you continue down to the lake there's some beautiful dispersed camping right beside the lake. It's very peaceful with lots. Lots of birds chirping on adjacent to the vaulted toy that you can hear a waterfall which has a trail access according to a local camper there is a little highway noise across the lake about the beautiful site makes up for it. Adjacent to the lake we counted between 5:00 and 10:00 firings. Many of them have started to become overgrown from lack of youths. If you go far enough, it's a little swampy next to the lake. Previous vehicles have got stuck and kind of destroyed the landscape..
ScoutNice quite spot in the forest, easy to access
TravelerThis campground is reasonable, has 8 sites for RVs with full hook ups, tent camping, yurts and 3 cabins. The Swan Lake Trading Post store was flooded from a tree fall blocking the nearby creek and has been beautifully remodeled. The 100 year old log structure was the hub of the small community of Swan Lake and held the post office at one time. Locals still gather here to hunker and people from all over the US and other countries stop for provisions, tasty food, and souvenirs as they head to Glacier Park.
Friendly helpful staff are the best part. Give this place a try.
ScoutPerfect place to be!
TravelerBeautiful spot. Road here isn’t too bad, except might be a bit risky after rain if you don’t have 4x4.
Scoutthe employees are all amazing, the course is beautiful, and is in great proximity to the national park
TravelerI’m in a camper van and had no issues accessing the site. Dirt road, but very passable leading here. Large 30+’ motorhomes here, too. Bathroom onsite, too. Have a site that backed right up to the river.
GuideBuddy and I stayed here for three days and enjoyed every bit of it. Site is about 3 miles past the end of the pavement. I made it in my Kia Soul, so anyone should be good haha! Had some wildlife come and visit us at night and walked the river easily for about 2 miles. Only consistent cars to pass on the road at night time were logging trucks and honda crvs. Definitely check out! PIT TOILETS WOOO! Only 3 (maybe 4) designated sites unless you park in the lot and walk to a wooded part.
