About
Doris Creek Campground is located on the west side of Hungry Horse Reservoir, high in the Rocky Mountains west of the Continental Divide and just south of the Canadian border. The campground sits along the massive Hungry Horse Reservoir, created by the 10th highest dam in the United States, which provides hydroelectric power and flood control. This area is home to lynx, grizzly bear, and bull trout, making it a premiere destination for wildlife viewing. The campground offers 9 overnight sites for tent and RV camping, with 5 sites available for reservation and 4 sites available first-come, first-served. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. The campground has gravel roads and parking spurs, and an accessible vault toilet is provided. A campground host stationed at the nearby Doris Point Boat Launch is available to answer questions. The stay limit is 16 consecutive days. Boating is popular on the 27,750-acre reservoir, with a concrete boat ramp accessible at Doris Point Boat Launch just above the campground, which also provides ample parking. Swimming and fishing are popular activities, and anglers can expect to catch cutthroat trout and other species. The campground is approximately 14 miles southwest of the West Glacier entrance to Glacier National Park, making it an ideal base camp for exploring the area.
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.
