Reviews from Google

This park was very well maintained! We were there for an event and they did an incredible job accommodating all of our families and larger rigs. Staff was very polite and helpful. They are about 20 minutes away from West Glacier and a park entrance which was really nice. There is SO much to do nearby you could be here for a month and never hit it all.

This place was great. Reception was very friendly and helpful, cabin was clean and had coffee with powdered cream and different types of sugar and the shampoo/conditioner/body wash were nice and the towels were fluffy and soft. The location was great. Only 15 minutes to Glacier West and Columbia Falls was a great town with a lot to offer. We were also close to other National Forests and places for hiking, plus the Hungry Horse Dam was very impressive! We will definitely stay here again if we come back this way.

This campground was neat, clean, and well cared for. Full hookups, very clean shower house and laundry. About 16 miles from Glacier. It felt safe and we didn't worry about our camper being bothered while we were in the park.Would stay here again.
