About
National Forest
Flathead National Forest
Overview
Doris Creek Campground is located on the Hungry Horse Reservoir, high in the Rocky Mountains, west of the Continental Divide and just south of the Canadian border. Spectacular views and ample opportunities for recreation surround the campground. Here, we have 9 sites, 5 for reservations and 4 that are walk-up. The stay limit is 16 consecutive days.
Recreation
Boating is popular on the 27,750-acre reservoir, and a concrete boat ramp is accessible at Doris Point Boat Launch above the campground which also provides ample parking. Swimming and fishing are also popular pastimes, and anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish, including cutthroat trout.
Facilities
The campground offers 9 overnight sites for tent and RV camping. Each is equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. There is no water at this campground. Please bring your own drinking water. An accessible vault toilet is provided. Campground roads and parking spurs are gravel. Campground host is available to answer any questions about the campground and surrounding area. The campground also offers first-come, first-serve sites as well.
Natural Features
The campground is situated along the massive Hungry Horse Reservoir, which was dammed to provide hydroelectric power and flood control to the area. It is the 10th highest dam in the United States and provides a stunning backdrop. Home to lynx, grizzly bear and bull trout, the forest is a premiere destination for visitors.
Nearby Attractions
Doris Creek Campground is approximately 14 miles southwest of the West Glacier entrance to Glacier National Park.

LegendTake it over
4 stars if you can get multiple sites next to each other as this isn’t a large area. You’ll most likely have very little tree cover or privacy here. The best reservoir + creek water scenes are off the most open campsites, while the couple of sites on the creek only have some trees around them. The overall feel of the space is unique in very good ways, however, and the openness could lead to some memorable reunions or annual get-togethers. The views of the creek and reservoir are straight-up lovely, making those photos ones you’ll want to keep.

GuideClose to Glacier
We ended up at Doris Creek while searching for a campground that was close to Glacier but not in the park (since we didn't make any reservations). It's a decent campground with nice lake access. The sites seem to be catered more towards RVS and campers than tents (we pitched our tent on a patch of gravel) but the ground was level. Pit toilets are available and each campsite has a picnic table.
