We loved this campsite! This was our first time camping in Glacier National Park and we will definitely be coming back. Our stay was only one night and wished we could have stayed longer. The campsite was quiet, clean, and not too cramped. There was a good amount of space between the sites and plenty of shade beneath the trees. Our campsite was huge! We were pleasantly surprised at how much room there was for our tent and for parking. We were also able to hang up both of our hammocks away from the vegetation. Lake McDonald was a short 2 min drive from our campsite to the picnic area (we opted to drive but the ranger told us that there were several walking paths leading down to the lake). Just as a warning, this is in bear country and you should definitely take the precautions seriously and follow park guidelines. Unfortunately, some people choose not to listen to the rules and this can be dangerous for everyone else. One thing you should bring is a bin to wash your dishes in, as there are dump stations at each bathroom (washing your dishes at your site is dangerous because it can attract bears). So bring your bear spray and don’t interact with the wildlife! Highly recommend staying in Fish Creek if this is also your first time camping in Glacier!

The experience was overall pretty fun. Rolled in on a Saturday, packed up on a Monday and had no issue with crowds the entire time. We spent some time at the lake, which was a short but steep trail away from the campsite. The trees offered some great shade+privacy and there were some spectacular views from the campsite. Our first night we watched someone setting off fireworks from across the lake and thought it was awesome (hopefully they were being responsible). The only thing that was actually disappointing was the lack of space around the fire pit to put our chairs. The awkward slope around the fire pit made it difficult and frustrating to cook and enjoy a nice campfire. If possible I would check google earth before selecting a campsite here. Regardless, I like how quiet and clean this park was and would definitely come visit again.

Such a fun experience and had the best spot in the entire campsite! Great trails and swimming spots for the doggos. The campsite was spacious and was plenty of room to fit 2 large tents. Really enjoyed the open field to do some late night stargazing! Overall was a cool place and I would definitely come visit again!
