Great sit and great campsite! Loved our time there even with a little bit of rain. Right on the Hungry Horse reservoir, which is beautiful. Stay here!

This is one of the most private, beautiful, relaxing spots we’ve ever camped in! Stunningly lovely! (But not for the glamper, as there are vault toilets and no water available.)

It was a great spot. However, if you are looking for a quiet place to camp do not go over a weekend. There were people partying and playing very loud music. The same people let their kids wander the campground until almost midnight. Kids were screaming and running through our site it was the opposite of relaxing. However, once they left it was nice and quiet. I would definitely recommend going during the week if you want a more peaceful experience. If you want to party and like staying up late, go on the weekends.
