Hog Lake Campground

We're from PA and have stayed here twice. Pretty open and nice to stay the night. The lake is nice too. Have seen a couple little pan fish. Road is a little bumpy so go slow

Nice area. Worked well for us as an overnight stop. Took the 1.3 mile loop hike to the view of the waterfall which was great. What wasn't great is our dog got lots of ticks.

5 or so minutes off the main highway, huge section of land with multiple pullout areas for camping. A lot of space. Landscape is quite nice, small hills and large fields.

Great spot for an overnighter or two. Several trails to the lake. Nice quiet area with well-spaced dispersed camping. There is a porta-potty at the information area. It's kinda far from most sites though. I would return to here.

I came here for just one night. I brought 3 dogs with me and had no problems. I heard coyotes yelping in the middle of the night. Nice pines to look at and the air was fresh. There was a new coat of frost on the ground when I woke up. There were 3 or 4 vehicles that went by but overall it was very relaxing. You can hear trains and the highway off in the distance but I didn’t find it bothersome.

We stopped for the night on our way to northern Montana. A bit wet but it is winter so we expected it. There were a few other campers but plenty of spots available. Enjoyed a quiet evening and a good night sleep. Would definitely use this area again.

Road is a little bumpy but worth the drive in once you find your spot. There are several, very large, pull offs perfect for your stay. There were about six spots already taken when we arrived at about 7pm but still plenty to chose from. The area was clean, had a dumpster, and a porta potty (which we did not use). We never saw the lake but the other views were nice; beautiful night sky. Very low traffic, we only saw two vehicles after dark. Overall great night, great stay.

A good spot to stay a night or more. Currently NO FIRES due to high risk of forest fires. Several spots to boondock. There is a dumpster and port a poty. Several others here. Sites are spaced out well though.

Camp on area with no vegetation. Road is a lil rough but our outback handled it just fine. The lake is a short hike depending where you pitch your camp.

Eh. It’s fine, it’s a place to sleep. Stayed here for 2 days and there wasn’t much to do besides walk over to the lake. The views are fine, good sunsets but nothing too special. Most of the sites are in open spots with little shade and little privacy, if you show up past 5 you’ll probably end up in one of those. That’s where I ended up my first night, then moved to a spot with two trees my second. Kind of littered with trash just about everywhere. Broken glass in some sites so be careful. Came on a Saturday night and it was crazy busy, Sunday was calmer. Good AT&T service in the upper sites, not so much in the lower ones.

Also there’s kind of a weird vibe? As a solo female camper I’ve been walking around and making sure to have my mace on hand lol

Nothing spectacular. Pullouts on a gravel road, dirt spots. Incredibly busy for a Tuesday night, people were pulling in all hours of the night. I’m guessing, like me maybe, they are pulling in for overnighters on a longer road trip. There’s not much to choose from in this area so we all end up here.

Found this last minute after deciding to drive further than planned. Quite a few spots available. It is quite open with no tree so not so great for windy days.

We got in around 10:30pm with our campervan and while most places were taken up, we thought we got lucky with the one closest to the lake... Only to wake up to see a tent there in the morning 😂 Beautiful view of the lake!

What an amazing spot. Many of the spots are RV accessible a decent gravel road goes through the entire area. Very little traffic people seem to care about the area cuz it's really clean. No hookups excellent phone service cell phone towers just around the corner. No traffic noise. Depending on where you are in the camp you will hear a train come by every couple hours. It's not too close I'm not too loud. Around 2:00 a.m. every morning the coyotes have a 2 to 3 minute party. It's amazing to hear him. Never saw one though they keep away.

This campsite was the perfect break in our drive from North Cascades to Glacier. The road was easy to find and there were so many great sites. There is a porta potty too. We found a site that was both tent-able and hammock-able. Lots of mosquitoes though!

Arrived early in the afternoon and got the last spot, looked to be a lot of people staying longer term; but still was quiet and there are lots of places to walk with pets/explore around camp.

A lot of places to camp here all equipped with fire rings. We had a 30ft RV and drove in on the nice gravel road. We took the very last camping spot closest to the lake and it had a good amount of shade on all sides. It was big enough to fit two campers if camping with friends. The spot was very spacious and felt private. It was clean with only a couple specks of trash that we found.

We walked down to the lake and it looked great for paddle boarding or small boats/rafts but not for swimming. There is a lot of seaweed and it’s murky.

The area/sites are really dusty in July. Lots of dirt but the road is gravel. Sites are pretty well spread out.

We took a little hike and saw a buck with a big rack on it, other deer, and a coyote. Great spot for back country hiking.

Easy access off of I90. Mostly quiet overnight stay as we heard some people from another site and the road was trafficked with people looking for sites. Train noise as well. A fire pit was available. But there was some broken glass and shell casings at our site

Nice over night stay, but 1st come 1st served. We got there about 4pm and luckily found the last spot. May have been one of the best spots as well.

Access to Hog Lake was closed. Found a spot with a fire pit. All the spots are pretty spread out. Unfortunately not many treed areas for wood. Fairly rough terrain of sand and rocks

We found the most amazing site! We felt like we were on top of the world! Clear open skies! Loved the sound of the cows, coyotes, and owls! Total dispersed camping! Thank you to whoever left us wood!

We really enjoyed our night stay , it was very quiet and the campsites were spread out well enough that it was quite private! We will be going back . Can’t drive right down to the lake , but you can walk in and take the trail around it .

Stopped hear from driving fatigue for the night. Glad I did. Plenty of spots to choose from & friendly waves from other campers (RVs, busses, cars).

Be aware there is a lot of noise from planes and trains but not enough to keep me from my sleep.

Cutting through this area needed night to crash, stumbled upon this last minute. Easy to find easy to access in our Honda accord. Lots of spaces but also lots of ppl. Was peaceful though. Lots of cows singing at night. I didn’t mind though. Heard some coyotes in the distance. Wasn’t a problem though

Was a good site, safe, people def. Stay longer than 14 days lol

Plenty of campsites and Verizon gets 2-3 bars of service. I found a shady spot by a large pine tree. Only a couple miles from the highway and the road is in good shape for getting in and out. Only a few other vehicles here but still plenty of space for all!

Lovely and quiet! Spacious! (Rare train but it does not bother me.) Picturesque lake surrounded by pine trees! So lovely! So glorious!

Nice little place. The road gets a bit rough. I personally would not want to drive anything bigger than a camper van down there but there are quite a few bug turnaround spots and some nice big sites. Be careful going into the sites as there is a dip. My Kia seemed to think I was just nose diving into a crevice as I was getting across with all its sensors screaming at me. Some coyotes came through camp at some point during the night. I heard them howling from a distance but only knew they came into camp because they left footprints in the frost. Only one other person was out there so nice and quiet

A friend and I car camped here overnight on our way through the state. We couldn’t get down to the lake by car because a gate was closed but we were able to park at a pull off up the road a ways. We could hear someone shooting skeet or something and the train nearby but it didn’t bother us much.
