Sprague Creek Campground

About

Sprague Creek Campground sits on the northeast shore of Lake McDonald, approximately 9.5 miles from Glacier National Park's West Entrance along Going-to-the-Sun Road. The heavily forested campground provides shade during warm summer days, with some sites offering direct views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The campground is designed for small-footprint camping. All vehicles and vehicle combinations must be under 21 feet in length and 8 feet in width. No towed units of any size are permitted, and generators are prohibited at all times. Each of the 25 sites includes a fire ring (no grate) and picnic table. Flush toilets and potable water are available on site, though there are no showers or hookups. The historic Lake McDonald Lodge is about a mile away, offering a camp store, restaurant, gift shop, boat tours, and ranger evening programs. The park's free shuttle system stops at this campground, providing access to other destinations along Going-to-the-Sun Road.
