Fish Creek Campground — Glacier National Park

We stayed in loop c. The camp sites are kind of on top of each other but are separated by trees and bushes. None of the sites where you can park are flat so if your in a van or truck like we where your going to have to find a way to level your vehicle. Great for tents though. Great Lake access. Showers are in loop A and you have to drive there but can’t park there you have to park in the theater and walk. My shower was nice and hot but my boyfriends was freezing so I guess it’s a gamble on that lol.

Very quiet and relaxing. Loved the people and camp host as very friendly.

Very family friendly. Good bathrooms and clean. It was quiet and people are friendly. Next to the lake and some spots give views to the sky for solar.

Very large campground with A-C sections. Was very booked and spots are fairly close but rates were decent. Access to both the creek and McDonald lake.

spent 1 night on loop C - found out that the bathrooms were closed when we drove in, so had to walk quite a bit to loop B to use bathrooms and dish station; however there were portapotties. relatively cramped but quiet enough.

Fish creek is a smaller campground area but it’s nice that you reserve a site ahead of time. Some sites have almost direct access to the lake.

This was my first time camping within Glacier NP, so I checked out a few places. Fish Creek campground looked huge on the website, but felt much more private and spread out. I was at the end of loop D, so there were few neighbors and the site backed up to Fish Creek. While access to Fish Creek was dicey (thick underbrush) it was easy to take a quick walk to Lake McDonald.

Lots of people respectfully and quietly walking around the paved roads of the campground, including a friendly ranger who invited us to a nightly ranger presentation they do in the Fish Creek pavilion. The loops are on a slope down to the lake, so kids with scooters and bikes didn’t have the best setup.

Easy in/out privileges so you can drive over to Apgar and visit the store, souvenir shops, cafe, etc. The parking over at Apgar was a nightmare with tourists all over the road, so I was glad to have chosen Fish Creek instead.

The campground is kept clean, good bathrooms. Sites are relatively close together, but it doesn’t feel cramped. During our visit, other campers were respectful of quiet hours. Downside it that when it rains, it gets quite muddy, with spots of standing water.

You’re packed in pretty tight here.
Flushing toilets were nice. The showers were on another loop. No hookups. Fresh water is available.

Hard to balance teardrop as it was on a slant. Woods were dense and saw deer next to our spot. Couldn’t get close to fire pit but thats not a surprise. It was a tent and small RV site with no generators. Bathroom close. AT&T occasional 1 bar

Really nice to stay, sites are a little unlevel but no big deal. Will definitely go back to this camp ground. Many trails for any level hiker bike trails also. We took our 3 kids and dog . Dogs cannot go on regular trails only bike trails. What an amazing experience.

Well, this is an older campground, built when most people tent camped or had small to medium size campers I'm sure.. a good many of the sites are not very level. We saw some wheels off the ground. NOTE: the driveway length and the length of the vehicle are sometimes vastly different. Make sue the vehicle length works. Example: our driveway length listed 65 ft. Great, I thought, but when I double checked the max vehicle length it was only 24 ft. Whew..that would have been an unhappy surprise had I not seen that.. All the sited are tree covered giving that back country feel. It is hilly on that side of the lake. There's good hiking trails from the campground. There is a bike path over to Apgar Village, Visitors Center and West Glacier Village which was really nice. The bathhouse was nice and clean. The rangers and hosts were reall y nice.

Camp sites are nice for the price. Bathrooms are clean and the warm shower was great after a long day

Park rangers are cool! Restroom is cleaned. Lake MacDonald is right there.

Beautiful campground. Sites are close but still really enjoyable. My issue is there is a fire ban and yet the hosts have a fire and the rangers who check reservations have their generator running regardless of the time restrictions on generators. Pretty dumb if you ask me.

We stayed in C loop site 98 and B loop 82. Both spots had picnic table and fire grills. They were pull through spots. B loop site was a little small but worked for us since we only put up one tent. The bear vaults are shared. First night was totally full from neighboring site. Easy walk to lake. Parked car at amphitheater to take a shower and walked to A loop. Sites were clean and campground was quiet. Rangers came around on regular basis.

Fish Creek campground within Glacier National Park is a great place to stay on the west side of the park. It’s within a short walk to beautiful Lake McDonald. There are no electrical or water hookups available, but there is a dump station on the way out. The bathrooms have clean flush toilets and sinks, but no soap provided. Loop A showers have great water pressure and hot water. There are plenty of water spigots throughout the campground. There are several bear proof food storage sites as well. The Fish Creek amphitheater hosts fantastic ranger talks almost every night during the summer. Most if not all of the sites in loop A are pull through, but they can be very tight for a mid size travel trailer. During our stay sit was quiet and peaceful even though every site was full. Excellent National Park campground!

We had a great time staying here over the Fourth of July weekend! The campground was extremely well kept and clean. They are pretty strict about leaving any food or cooking gear out so use the bear containers or store it in your car. Restrooms didn’t have soap, but that’s a minor complaint. We booked a last minute reservation when someone else had cancelled. Use the ReserveAmerica app to see any available spots that come up.

Hammocks not allowed to be set up over vegetation. So smaller selection of trees for that. We got a warning tag, but not fines.

The campsite was very quiet and everyone minded their own business.

For being such a large campground it was so quiet every night we stayed (4 total). Beautiful campground! Clean bathrooms. Wonderful area, but duh, it’s Glacier! We had full cell service at the pick of area right on the lake (I have AT&T my boyfriend has Verizon) Incase anyone needs it to get a hold of loved ones.

We loved our time at Glacier!

Two families went so we reserved two sites next to one another. The sites were spacious - we were able to have 2 large tents in one site, and a Scamp trailer + screen tent in the other with plenty of space to walk around and hang hammocks. There were many little trails from our loop that brought you to Lake McDonald with amazing views. Overall it was a nice campground that was a perfect base for our many hikes that week.

According to nps.gov no more camping this season.

Fish creek campground was listed as “reservation only”. You could reserve on recreation.gov (terrible website) We stopped by around 7:30am - knew it was full but wanted to see what all the hype was about. Turns out they had 5 cancelations for that day - so we grabbed a spot at A16. Nice site - Privite on one side but unfortunately right next to a large RV but that’s not the parks fault now is it? The facilities were kinda bad - men’s bathroom had only one stall and one urinal? With over 20 sites in loop A? Hm. Showers were closed due to covid - a real bummer coming from Teton and Yellowstone where the showers are open. They did have a dump sink that I did appreciate. All in all we got a nice spot near the lake - quiet site - very good location (but also the only campground open in the park) would recommend if you are able to get a reservation online but certainly nothing to write home about.

If you’re looking for a campsite in the park where you can still get some solitude, Fish Creek is the one for you. An excellent spot right on Lake McDonald

Perfect camp site. Clean and beautiful. Running water in the bathrooms. You can buy firewood in nearby Apgar Village, where there are also restaurants, coffee shops, kayak rentals and more. Best sites are on the lake facing side of the C and D loops. Mine was B91 in the photos here

Awesome campground in Glacier NP! Potable water, clean flush toilets with soap in the bathrooms, and a dump station at the entrance. Very strict on bear proof food storage. Most sites are shaded and in the woods.

We have stayed in Many Glacier and Avalanche Creek but this is our favorite campsite in the park because of its proximity to Lake Mcdonald as well as Apgar village.

Peaceful campground with easy walking access to Lake Mcdonald. Some camp sites are even lakefront. Nothing gets better than watching the sunset while sitting on the shore of Lake McDonald.

Bathrooms are good for a campsite and there are water spigots near every campsite (usually shared between two neighboring sites).

There are centrally located ranger talks most nights.
