This campground is our favorite to visit as a family. It is well kept and a great place to camp. I can't say enough about how good our camp host was. Thanks for such a great place for families.

We really enjoyed our trip. We saw a moose and her baby our first night, strolled right through camp. We were right in front of the river so it was beautiful every morning. We hiked the mile or so to the waterfall, which was a miraculous sight. Lots of wildlife and relaxing.

We have camped at Falls Creek Campground for years and it is one of our favorites. The camp is will maintained and the host is very friendly. For being a smaller camp, there is a sense of seclusion. We never pass up an ice cream cone in Swan Valley, and this year we ran across a new activity, letterboxing. So many great memories over the years!
