About
Lost Johnny Point Campground is situated on the massive Hungry Horse Reservoir, high in the Rocky Mountains west of the Continental Divide and just south of the Canadian border. The reservoir was dammed to provide hydroelectric power and flood control, creating the 10th highest dam in the United States. The surrounding forest is home to lynx, grizzly bear, and bull trout, making it a premier destination for wildlife enthusiasts. The campground features 21 sites spread along the reservoir shoreline, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring with grill. Paved campground roads and parking spurs accommodate both tent and RV camping, though trailers are limited to 22 feet maximum. Drinking water is available from a hand pump (jug-fill only), and accessible vault toilets are provided throughout. Boating is exceptionally popular here, with a concrete boat ramp directly accessible from the campground. Anglers target cutthroat trout in the reservoir, while swimmers enjoy the mountain lake waters during warmer months. The proximity to Glacier National Park makes this an excellent basecamp for exploring the broader region.
Directions
Turn off U.S. Highway 2 at milepost 144 and follow the West Side Hungry Horse Reservoir Road (Forest Road #895) across Hungry Horse Dam. The campground is 6 miles south of the dam on paved road.
