Campground clean and well kept. Attendants are helpful and friendly and a pleasure to be around.

Gorgeous view of the lake. We enjoyed our stay
@NathanielCB3D8 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #27
Nice quiet campground. The pictures made it appear that you would be camping on the lake shore but after visiting the campground none of the campgrounds are on the lake so a bit misleading, otherwise no complaints, easy to check in check out.

We stayed at site 38 and it was a great site. It was very private with a good mix of shade and sun. All the site were large and looked very private except some of the site in the middle of the loop. There was a large grass area in the middle, which was great for games. We have a RV and didnt use the restroom. The walk to the beach was a bit of a ways. You would need a beach cart if you were bringing more than a chair or towel. The beach it self was rocky but beautiful area. We were very glad we brought SUP because it got busy. The camp host were always around cleaning up, we saw them multiple times a day making rounds. The fresh water available was also a nice touch to fill up tanks. I would definitely stay again.

About 1 hr from Glacier West entrance. Got in about 8 pm and host was nowhere to be found. We got confused and lost to find our spot but when we did it we settled right in. Very secluded and nice to be across the street from swan lake. No service FYI
@CourtneyB98483 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #20
Camp sites are clean, spacious, and private. The host maintains the property well. Loved the availability of fresh water for handwashing and dishwashing.
@patrickc406034 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #G1
We love the group loop. We come here every year with up to 30 family members every year. Great place to unplug from phones and spend quality time with family.
@KristieS710981 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #32
Spotless facilities. Diligent, helpful hosts.
@SeanB1801420 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #26
Beautiful campground, clean restrooms, we were away from the highway so quiet, day use by lake area has lots of parking and picnic tables!
@ScottD5141264 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #27
Super clean and well kept.
@ChrisA3029244 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #38
Fantastic whos ever taken care of that place?there was amazing
@KeithM1093EDD2 · Camped on Sep 23, 2024 at Campsite #2
Campground hosts were helpful in moving us to a more quiet location away from the highway. The campground was clean and the camp spots were positioned with lots of space between campers. No WiFi!
@BradO18C674DB3 · Camped on Sep 10, 2024
We only stopped for the night, and wished we had more time to stay. Everything was great!
@PattyG9118726 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #19
there are no pull though sites - website says there are several. We had to switch our site to a walk-in because of this. My RV would NOT fit in the original site.
@ReneeC2425718 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #32
The campground is well maintained and each spot has lots of room. The camp hosts are wonderful and super friendly. There is no cell service at camp which is nice if you are trying to get away from it all.
@Anneliese2EA97 · Camped on Aug 15, 2024 at Campsite #24
Nice quiet campground with extremely large sites and lots of trees between sites. More than half of this site is paved for RVs, which was a minus for us because we had a tent, but there was plenty of room between the pavement and the trees for our tent and probably a couple more. There's a small trail behind this site that leads down to a little stream. Easy walk from the campground across the street to Swan Lake.
@SAWD11788602FE · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #11
We love it at Swan Lake Campground. Big Shady sites. Friendly hosts. Water to fill your R.V. is available at the entrance. There is no dump station however. The beach is right across the street, which is awesome. If you are relying on Starlink, obstructions can be challenging. There is zero cell service.
@AndreeL42FC00A · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #24
Terrific campground directly across the highway from Swan Lake and the day use area there. Only thing better would be if the campground were lakeside. Great fine dining at Laughing Horse Lodge (less than a mile away) in the beautiful courtyard filled with flowers if you want a break from cooking camp food. Bring bug repellant! No cell service at campground but there is a pull-out along the lake about 3/4 mile north where you can get cell.
@rosew5858906 · Camped on Jul 8, 2024 at Campsite #15
Good hostsMake your experience very enjoyable
@JamesH5225020 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #38
Swan Lake Campground was a Jewel, off the beaten path. Our only regret is that we didnt get to stay another night. If like beauty Peace & serenity , this is a place youll really love! Happy Trails!
@DennisB9968665 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #4
Location is very nice but found by using recreation.com my senior pass of 50% discount is charged a reservation fee thereby almost negating the discount. Not right!!!
@Destannie6649D · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #1
We have camped here previously and had a blast. We still had a very good time this trip. Just one downside.I booked online for 1 site, 2 vehicles, 4 people, one tent and one trailer. The day after we arrived we had a note from the camp host stating we owed for the tent. Unsure if this is new as we've camped here previously at 1 site with multiple tents and never been charged $20 per tent per night. Just a heads up that not everything you put in your reservation online is paid for apparently.
@CherS0659EC320 · Camped on May 27, 2024 at Campsite #27
The campground was very clean.
@SabrinaW804820 · Camped on Aug 28, 2023 at Campsite #27
Site is better suited for a trailer or RV, not tenting. The grassy area where the picnic table and fire pit are is small but not a problem for trailer/RV. The "driveway" is fully paved, wide and long. A trailer with a porch could be set up and there would still be room to park a vehicle either next to or in front of the trailer.
@SharonD4417162 · Camped on Aug 18, 2023 at Campsite #2
My only objection to my stay was; one of the camp host had dogs locked in a car all day. They appeared to be aggressive breeds and put up quite a commotion when we passed with our dog. Its not right to have two large dogs penned in a car all day. Should not be allowed and borders on animal cruelty.

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.
