Back to camping

This is an amazing camp ground!!! Very clean and secluded. No cell reception, and no internet. Just camping. Like it used to be.

The quiet is refreshing

Midweek is good. Like 5 other campers there. I stayed in spot 12, awesome. There’s I think one bathroom. There are bear bins for your food if you don’t have the right kind of storage plus of course bear proof garbage and a pump water source. It’s fairly buggy and after a morning thunderstorm they were in full attack mode. I left sooner than I wanted because I couldn’t really drink my coffee in peace! Anti environmental OFF did work - I don’t have any bites! To all the “long dirt road” commenters - yeah, it’s long. I wouldn’t use this as a home base for day trips unless I had a boat. But the road itself is quite nice - wide and 85% smooth. I’ve encountered much worse in terms of potholes.

Beautiful Waterside Campground

Loved staying at this campground as it was right on the water and extremely secluded from all that goes on at Glacier. 20 Miles from anything, located in Flathead National Forest. The only con I have is that the road to get to the camp is 20 miles of rough grated dirt. I recommend Site 12! It’s on the corner of the camp and has decent space from the other camps nearby! You can reach quite a few hikes in Flathead National Forest by driving.
