Good, clean camp. Plenty of shade from trees with opportunity to step out into sunlight closer to the river. Host was friendly and helpful.

This has been a favorite campground of ours for many years. The location is ideal for hiking and relaxing by the creek. However, the management needs to make sure quiet hours are enforced, because they were not during our stay.
@NathanW5769902 · Camped on Aug 22, 2025 at Campsite #3
Beautiful location, quiet, great river views; no complaints.

I want to tell everyone it was horrible and to never go there. I'm a local and it was nice to actually get a reservation during the busy tourist season and it was everything I was looking for. The North Fork drive is not for the faint of heart . The washboard/potholes are epic and will rattle everything that isn't secured to the floor including your teeth. Was it worth it? Yes. Will I be doing it again shortly, yes.

If you want a campground with solitude, this is the one! Scott the host and his wife were very helpful and took their job seriously. Thanks for that! Yes the road to this campground is very rough, but once you get here it is wonderful, you just have to drive very slow which is just 2 miles of dirt. The rest is paved from Apgar area.

Lovely setting, back in the mountains ,next to a fiver. Clean washrooms despite being pit toilets. Campsites were neat and clean.Camp hosts were very friendly and attentive. Have wood for sale. do a great job.

Amazing campsite! Close to the river where our group spent the day playing in the water. The best kept secret is that this campground puts you just minutes from Glacier NP! Its a very low traffic area and since youre so close you dont need to get there at 5am if you dont have passes for GTTSR. The bathrooms were clean, the site (18) was perfect and spacious. Our Camphost was James and he was phenomenal! He was super helpful every day we were there! He suggested a wonderful drive (we were jeeping) that led to Moose Lake where our group was the only ones there! Great campground and amazing host! Yeah yeah yeahthe roadits fine. If you have a regular car, go slow. If you have a jeep then you already know how to navigate washboard roads.

Love this place! The road in is horrid.
@MarkS8760847 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #1
Clean campground with good separation between campsites.
@JennyleeUDD4B5 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #9
The camp hosts were amazing. Incredibly friendly, understanding to everyone's situation and very helpful. The camp sites were clean and always a favorite.
@KaylaS7171066 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #8
Outside of the miles of dirt road, we loved the quiet campground up against the river & entering Glacier from the empty Camas entrance.
@MaryBeth914242 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #15
Great campsite and campground. Scott was the site host and was very welcoming and informative. Gave us the lowdown on the wildlife to see in the area and how to conduct ourselves with possible bear interactions. Vault toilets were clean and stocked with materials, sites were well-taken care of.
@MichelleH23163 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #13
Loved my campsite. The cleanest bathrooms I have ever seen in all my time using outhouses. Camp hosts are top notch.
@JohnW4841416 · Camped on May 18, 2025 at Campsite #14
Camps hosts were great and the site was beautiful. We will definitely be returning. Thank you
@LisaE8884168 · Camped on May 15, 2025 at Campsite #3
This was one of the best camping experiences weve ever had. First, the hosts were very helpful, friendly, and accessible. The campground is beautiful, right on the Flathead River. Our site was really large and comfortable. The campground has easy access to Glacier NP. And don't miss the chance to visit Polebridge Mercantile and try the huckleberry bear claw!
@HowardC9792559 · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #4
What a great campground right on the river. very close to glacier park. vault style toilet clean and well maintained.Host was very personable. only drawback was the 7 mile dirt road in, but they did grade the road for the drive out.will definitely camp there again.
@TedS3671645 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #8
This is a great place to experience Glacier Park and not having to pay high prices for other campgrounds. We were right on the river with plenty of space between sites. The only problem was they don't have the length for the site's so the one we got was a little tight for our 34 ft 5th wheel and pickup.
@JulieNF9AD3649 · Camped on Aug 15, 2024 at Campsite #13
Clean, roomy, river front access. Great host!
@CoreyJ8103177 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #1
One of my favorite campgrounds. There are no amenities, but the views make up for it.
@SuzanneF371372 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #8
Could hear rapids in the creek from the campsite. There were a few paths back to the creek where you could get in the water, play with rocks, and fish. The sites were close but felt like you had some privacy and all were fully shaded.
@KaylaKFFCB0C25 · Camped on Sep 12, 2023 at Campsite #22
The campsite was quiet and dark. Sites were a good size with picnic tables and bear boxes provided. We enjoyed being so close to the creek.
@CortN5389907 · Camped on Sep 1, 2023 at Campsite #18
Nice campground with a helpful host. No issues getting our 30 5th wheel in and out of the spot. Easy access to Glacier via Camas entrance. ~5 mi dirt road with moderate washboarding as of Sept 23. No starlink service in our spot.
@MattR9175718 · Camped on Aug 20, 2023 at Campsite #8
Beautiful camping...clean restrooms...spacious sites. River lulls you to sleep
@RachelM2671399 · Camped on Jul 29, 2023 at Campsite #13
Great place
@whitneyg558533 · Camped on Jul 4, 2023 at Campsite #5
We chose to drive through Glacier NP on Camas road and avoid the 19 mile gravel road from Columbia Falls. This route included 2 miles of gravel. Because we did not have Going to the Sun passes, we entered Glacier NP after 3 pm, and needed to exit before 6 am. The campground itself was beyond our expectations, isolated, spacious sites, with a beautiful river running alongside. The host was available and helpful for any needs. There is water, no electricity, no dump. We camped in early July in a 25 ft Airstream.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
