Doris Creek Campground is located on the Hungry Horse Reservoir, high in the Rocky Mountains, west of the Continental Divide and just south of the Canadian border. Spectacular views and ample opportunities for recreation surround the campground. Here, we have 9 sites, 5 for reservations and 4 that are walk-up. The stay limit is 16 consecutive days.
Boating is popular on the 27,750-acre reservoir, and a concrete boat ramp is accessible at Doris Point Boat Launch above the campground which also provides ample parking. Swimming and fishing are also popular pastimes, and anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish, including cutthroat trout.
The campground offers 9 overnight sites for tent and RV camping. Each is equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. There is no water at this campground. Please bring your own drinking water. An accessible vault toilet is provided. Campground roads and parking spurs are gravel. Campground host is available to answer any questions about the campground and surrounding area. The campground also offers first-come, first-serve sites as well.
The campground is situated along the massive Hungry Horse Reservoir, which was dammed to provide hydroelectric power and flood control to the area. It is the 10th highest dam in the United States and provides a stunning backdrop. Home to lynx, grizzly bear and bull trout, the forest is a premiere destination for visitors.
Doris Creek Campground is approximately 14 miles southwest of the West Glacier entrance to Glacier National Park.

I fished here a few weeks ago....it was really nice...didn't catch any fish but caught lots of mosquito bites.
Noisy neighbors and people showing up near midnight to set up. The reservation system stinks because they can make you move after you setup and paid the fee because the reserved sign mysteriously disappeared then blame you for the sign disappearing. I will never go back again.
We loved the location and views. However, we think it is inappropriate for park hosts to display their political flags and opinions on our public lands. Flying a flag that states “no more bullshit” is not appropriate.
