Friday night and not a soul in sight. Like other reviews- very open. Staying on the outside provides better privacy, but with no one there - lots of privacy.
We had the place to ourselves mid week it was so quiet. Lots of space between spots, easy to get into. Great get away.

One of our favorites places to boondock. Beautiful views, the lake is amazing, and the hike to the ice caves, while difficult, is SO worth it.
I stayed at Kings Hill Cabin (available on recreation.gov) it's right by the highway so it's accessible year-round and it's a perfect winter wonderland. The area is near Showdown Ski Bowl with tons to do!
Allegedly, Crystal Lake drained into a limestone fissure in the earth. Bummer. But it's still an insanely beautiful area with hikes up to a year-round ice cave! The area is a mountain oasis in North Central Montana.
