Boating is popular on the 27,750-acre reservoir, and a concrete boat ramp is accessible at Doris Point Boat Launch above the campground which also provides ample parking. Swimming and fishing are also popular pastimes, and anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish, including cutthroat trout.

Campground host is available to answer any questions about the campground and surrounding area. The campground also offers first-come, first-serve sites as well.

Natural Features

The campground is situated along the massive Hungry Horse Reservoir, which was dammed to provide hydroelectric power and flood control to the area. It is the 10th highest dam in the United States and provides a stunning backdrop. Home to lynx, grizzly bear and bull trout, the forest is a premiere destination for visitors.

We had the trip of a lifetime camping here and we literally didn’t even go into Glacier National Park, despite the proximity. The fishing was excellent and one day we drove all the way up to the Spotted Bear Ranger Station to swim in the Spotted Bear River and get a hot dog at diamond R ranch. Such a memorable experience, so remote and beautiful. One thing to note is this is total bear country, so don’t make a mess with food, and there isn’t running water at this campground to plan out how to wash up etc and pack out trash. We stayed 5 nights and don’t regret a thing.
