Ever heard of The Night of the Grizzlies? I wouldn't be surprised if this campground develops a bear problem. We arrived to find the hard bear-resistant food storage boxes plum full of festering hot garbage. Garbage truck day seemed to be Thursday so you'll be lucky if there is enough bin space Tuesday/Wednesday. Campsites left food, alcohol and trash out over night. But the ground squirrels and hares love that. Vehicles move barriers to be able to drive where they want. Two of the sites' occupants included a large number of children that were left unattended to play. (Great). The kids were probably 1.5 to 13 years old. Several times the toddlers were down by the water by themselves without life jackets. I nearly had a panic attack. One of the older kids told us they'd been there for 5 weeks. At the time I took the comment with a grain of salt, but it became clear that might be true as our stay continued. This campground is basically a sun-baked free for all. The Forest Service and local law enforcement seem pretty incompetent to enforce posted rules and protect patrons and wildlife.

Shame the trees had to all be cut down, pesky beetles. Still, at this elevation and right on the water, heat wasn't really a problem. Well water and bathrooms handy, close to the water, just be advised if you want to try taking a swim, the bottom near the main part of the campground is pure muck, easy to sacrifice a flip flop or worse if you're not careful. Might be better over near the boat ramp, didn't try it.

Reservations on all spots and mostly empty. Would be great little spot without the reservations. Reservations for camping spots is stupid.

Great Campground. Not a ton of shade, but with our own shade tents, we didn't feel we needed more. Lots of space between spots so we didn't feel right on top of our neighbors. The host was awesome! We had a small storm burst come through that scared our two little ones. So while we were battening down the tents and making sure things didn't fly away....thanks to some help from neighbors... she brought our little kids to her trailer and entertained them through the 15 minute storm. There is a beach access. Its a little walk. And the boat launch is the next outlet down the road. The water was a bit cold. But that's to be expected in the northern mountains.

Great place , the hosts were so very awesome. The water is perfect. The boat launch is not very far away and you can bring your boat right to the camp, and if you don't want to leave it in the water there is room for it at your camp site.

Nice views of lake. Sparse vegetation. Guy in site next to me constantly telling obscenities at his dog and played his radio outside until 1am. Seemed to be friends with camp host, as they chatted for about a half hour the day before. Maybe that camp host should be around the camp a bit and do a stroll at 10pm to see if people are following quiet hours.

We just stayed at piney Campground by Georgetown lake in anaconda and had a great week. Camp host was outstanding! Bathrooms were always clean and camp host was very friendly and accommodating. He made several rounds a day checking on campers and if there was anything we needed he was very helpful. Would definitely stay here again and recommend this campground. We also enjoyed seeing 2 bull moose nightly in our campground as they were in the lake swimming

Concessionaire operated site in the summer by Big Sky Recreation. Is a favorite site for fishing and boating. Open campground with no trees because of beetle infestation. Easy access to a boat ramp

Nice big sites with plenty of space between them. Nice access to the Lake. Moose wandered thru our site and into the water twice the day we were there. Most of the trees are gone so there is little shade right now.... (I'd give it 5 stars otherwise) No power or water here so come prepared.

We camped here on a roadtrip from Yellowstone to Glacier. It was really nice and the lake is beautiful. A bunch of spots were reserved but no one was in them and the host let us have one right on the lake. It's called Piney but it is open and grassy because they took out all of the lodgepole pines due to disease. It wasn't too hot when we were there so it was actually nice to be in the sunshine. We wished we had a kayak or boat. Everyone we met there was really friendly.
