Busy trailhead but small quiet campground. Nice host. Palisades Creek Trail is wonderful.
Perfect stop on our way up to Glacier NP. Host was welcoming and full of useful information regarding hikes and things to do during our stay. Nick is awesome and we will definitely be coming back.
It is an awesome trail to the Upper Palisades lake. It has many rocks and roots on the way there. The trail sometimes gets pretty narrow. There is many ups and downs on the way yet the whole road goes gradually up. We brought a wagon to carry our stuff which make it almost impossible to make it but we did it within 9 hours to get up and 7 to get down. Never take wagon there! Without it expect to get to the Upper lake within 4-5 hours.
I absolutely love this campground. I love that it doesn't have many camp areas and feels secluded. Very beautiful place!
Beautiful Upper lake, good lower lake, but absolutely stunning upper lake. Rocky roads, so shoe up your horses. Maintained trails, nothing across them.
