Great place that's not too far away. Easy to get too, and you can almost always find a camping spot.

Absolutely love this area. M-k campground specifically has large fire pits in every spot associated with it and about half of them also have metal bear food storage containers. Most of the sites are pretty large. The site pictured here doesn't have one (bear container). All of them have huge tables. Room for 12 or so. 2 out houses to choose from. Most days it's really not bad. Some days its ROUGH.... Absolutely love this area.

Still beats pooping in the woods I say. Bring bear spray/.40 cal pistol or larger for bear protection. Been going here for 20yrs now have only ever seen 2 bears from miles away but have heard many stories. Parking for 2 trucks or possibly 3 cars designated for each spot. Good chance of seeing deer/moose in the summer. Camping is free. Camp sites are far enough away to provide adequate privacy as well. Additional camping spots all along the road that leads to m-k even up to the top where glacier lake trial is. Some up there but way more bear danger.
