Campground was nicely spaced and room for bigger rigs was excellent! The water access was amazing! The road up there was really rough but pull outs were great to let people who were not towing pass. We ended up taking a day and going up to spotted bear and it was all so beautiful! Would stay again!

16 miles on a rutted dirt road to get to a site that could have been in any woods anywhere. No toilets - not even pit toilets.

Road into the campground was a bit bumpy, 22 miles of washboard! Other the campground was very quiet and pleasant. Sites are well spaced and well kept.

The road to the site is a 20 mile gravel road with lots of wash boarding and curves, this was a little tough on my SUV and could be inconvenient after a long day in Glacier National Park. However, if you and your car can handle that, the distance from Glacier is ideal and this site provides a more private camping experience. There were bear boxes, a vault toilet, and a water spigot all within close walking distance. We had a curious deer come visit our site which was a pleasant surprise as he was a little shy and didn't get too close.

Campground was well maintained, bathroom in good shape and quiet after 10pm. Good drive in, some potholes and washboard but you have to expect that. Will go back again.

Had a great time. Bathrooms and campground was clean. Site was nice. Only negative was a previous guest left trash in the bear box which made it kind of smell. Would stay again, even with the bumpy and dusty drive to it. Enjoyed being off the grid!!
