Campground Camping
The Flathead Forest has 31 developed campgrounds. The campgrounds vary in development; some offer expanded services such as Wi-Fi, paved roads and cell phone service; others are more primitive with limited services. Of the 31 campgrounds 12 are under management by a concessionaire.
The Forest's concessionaire campgrounds are hosted, offer water, picnic tables, fire rings, common areas; some have pavilions, boat launches, horseshoe pits, sand volleyed ball courts, and garbage service. The concessionaire managed campgrounds include: Big Creek, Emery Bay, Doris Boat, Doris Point, Holland Lake, Lid Creek, Lost Johnny Camp, Lost Johnny Point, Murray Bay, Swan Lake Day Use, Swan Lake, and Tally Lake Campgrounds. For more information on Forest Service campgrounds managed by Flathead Valley Campgrounds, call (406) 752-7924, or visit their website.
All developed campgrounds and dispersed campsite are required to adhere to the Forest's Special Order for Food Storage. Food and garbage must be stored in a bear resistant container, in a vehicle, or inside a hard shell locked camper. Your cooperation will help keep you safe and keep the wildlife alive.
