Big Creek Campground is managed by the USFS, and they do a great job. It's 50% reserved campsites and 50% walk-up campsites. Also, several group sites. The on-site hosts are wonderful, attentive and knowledgeable. The campground lies next to the beautiful North Fork of the Flathead River. It has launching for day use rafting and fishing. Spacious, level sites with gravel pads, good for RVs and ten... Big Creek Campground is managed by the USFS, and they do a great job. It's 50% reserved campsites and 50% walk-up campsites.

A picnic table and fire pit w/grill Available potable water, and multiple clean, well stocked pit-toilets. It's pretty much everything you could want!!!

Absolutely stunning area, with a fairly clear view into Glacier National Park depending on where you look. Be very careful of bears, though; you must keep in mind that you are in the middle of bear country. Also, don't drive too fast in the campground. The dry climate makes it so that driving too quickly causes thick clouds of dust. The camp host, who is very nice and super helpful, recommended th...

Be very careful of bears, though; you must keep in mind that you are in the middle of bear country. Also, don't drive too fast in the campground. The dry climate makes it so that driving too quickly causes thick clouds of dust. The camp host, who is very nice and super helpful, recommended that I even drive below the posted speed limit of 10 mph. 5 would be about perfect, if not even slower than that.

This place was out of the way, and you have to drive on some gravel road, which isn't that bad. You end up in this small, quiet, peaceful place.

Definitely recommend this place if your the type looking for basically an off grid camping spot. Bring your headlamps/flashlights and don't bother trying to use your devices there is no signal here which is great. A few people had generators. It's roughly half an hour from Apgar, which is where you can grab all you need and have some peaceful lake time on Mckenzie Lake Fabulous place
