★★★★★ 5.0 Patrick Tanguy · Jul 2025

We stayed on site 6 for 2 nights. Very nice place, quiet with a creek flowing just behind our site. No services but amazingly clean pit toilets! The hosts are very friendly and they work hard to keep the campground tidy and clean. Love that the lady host (sorry forgot her name…) sings while working to clean sites and facilities. Wood at 6$/ bundle, very reasonable and sites have fire pit with a grill and a table. Potable water stations at every 2-3 sites. The only downside is that there were a lot, a lot of flies (but no mosquitos) but hey this is camping!

Decent place, but not for long trailers! It's a tight squeeze for our 32' horse trailer with living quarters, some of the spots are not long enough for a trailer this size, and because of the single lane with trees/boulders/log fences on either side you have little wiggle room when backing. Spots have picnic tables and fire rings. The toilets were clean. The well is under construction so all the water is off for now. A short walk to the creek is nice. Some road and train noise, didn't bother us but just know you can hear it

Beautiful park, small but nice. Reserved and walking sites. On rt 2 outside Glacier National park.

★★★★★ 5.0 I.Rogers · Aug 2020

Halfway between Glacier East and Glacier West along state route 2 south of the park. The custodians are a lovely couple and zoom around in an adorable golf scooter. The place is tidy, easy to get to and around. The bathrooms are well kept and smell good. Everything is clean. No lights anywhere at night and it is pitch black. If you need to use the bathroom make sure you bring a flashlight. Otherwise a beautiful campsite. I highly recommend starting there. East side entrances are closed to the park for the 2020 season and it is 34 miles to the west gate.

Devil Creek CG Flathead NF, MT 4400’ $22 Great place for an overnight or extended stay while exploring the Glacier National Park area as it’s in the middle of East Glacier and West Glacier right next to the road at mile marker 190 on highway 2. 13 sites all paved and each has its own bear box, picnic table and fire pit. Well water is available, 2 vault toilets and a dumpster. The campground is kept clean by the hosts Gavan and Barb taking care of the campground. Very clean!
