Site 89. Huge site. Very wide and long. Needed leveling boards driver side but no big deal. Full hookups. Nice campground.

By luck of a cancellation we camped only 2 nights on the water. If this back in site fitting our 35’ 5th wheel, Montana High Country would not have been reserved we would have stayed extra nights. Quiet, beautiful hiking trails & looks to be very nice cabins to rent, secluded. We are hopeful our journeys will take us back there! Highly recommend it!

This campground is quite nice. There are multiple sections. The guard gate area is very large for accommodating multiple vehicles for sign in along with two dump stations. Pull through spots in sections are very well sized, back in sections are varying sizes with varying views. Some have lake views/access for beaching. There are jungle gyms. There is a picnic area past the boat ramp. The areas are usually kept clean and there are many bathrooms. Boat ramp is easy to use but there is a fair amount of traffic near it so there are a lot of waves ( not a large no wake area as in a cove). Mostly flat so great for kids to ride bikes, roller skate, etc.. Camp store prior to entering. Close to Sullivan if supplies are needed. Close to North End bar and grill (located on the water with land access) which has good food, good amount of indoor/outdoor seating, ice and fuel.
