About
Doris Creek Campground is a scenic destination on the west side of Hungry Horse Reservoir in Flathead National Forest, Montana. Located just 14 miles southwest of Glacier National Park's West Glacier entrance, the campground provides access to spectacular Rocky Mountain scenery west of the Continental Divide. The 27,750-acre reservoir, created by the 10th highest dam in the United States, serves as a stunning backdrop. The campground has 9 sites available for tent and RV camping, with 5 sites reservable through Recreation.gov and 4 sites available first-come, first-served. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring with grill. An accessible vault toilet is provided, but there is no potable water on site. Campers must bring their own drinking water and pack out all trash. A food storage order is in effect due to grizzly bear activity in the area. Boating is popular on the reservoir, with a concrete boat ramp at Doris Point Boat Launch just above the campground. Anglers can expect to catch cutthroat trout. The forest is home to lynx, grizzly bear, and bull trout, making it a premiere destination for wildlife enthusiasts.
Directions
Turn off U.S. Highway 2 at West Side Hungry Horse Reservoir Road (Forest Road #895) and follow the road across the Hungry Horse Dam. The campground is 3 miles south of the dam. The road is paved to the campground.
