Lid Creek Campground lies on the Hungry Horse Reservoir, in the heart of 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, keeping visitors coming back to the area again and again. Here, we have 22 rentable sites with 13 of them being reservable and 9 for our walk-up visitors. The stay limit is 16 consecutive nights.
Visitors to the area enjoy a variety of biking and hiking trails that begin near the campground and wind around the reservoir.
Boating, swimming and fishing are excellent pastimes on the 27,750-acre Hungry Horse Reservoir. Anglers can expect a catch of cutthroat trout and other varieties.
The campground offers 22 campsites, several of which are first-come, fist-served sites for tent and RV camping. Each site is equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills.
Vault toilets are provided, but drinking water is not available at the campground.
The campground is located along the Hungry Horse Reservoir within the Flathead National Forest in northwestern Montana. It is nestled in a mixed forest of conifers at an elevation of 3,600 feet. The area is popular for its plentiful huckleberry bushes.
Home to lynx, grizzly bear, and bull trout and with numerous lakes, streams, and rivers to enjoy, the forest is a premiere destination for visitors.
Lid Creek Campground is just 23 miles southwest of the West Glacier entrance into Glacier National Park.

Free boat launch! Awesome hosts! Frank & Mechelle are fantastic & really know the area.
This campground is off the beaten path and that's exactly what it should be. The hosts were really nice and even helped us get situated. The negatives are things I'm fine with but you might not be; bathrooms less than stellar, no potable water, not much level ground for big tents. HOWEVER, I don't care. The lake was great, and it was beautiful and quiet. Score!
Stayed in spot 21. Excellent little location, beautiful trees, little creek running through down to lake. (Camped while a tad colder so no mosquito issue, or else this spot would likely have mosquitoes. We were private only due to off season, if it was busy, we'd be able to view two other campsites from this spot. Has vault bathrooms, picnic tables, and fire ring with moving grill rack. Most spots cater to RV, as there is not much room to place a tent. Except spot 21 😊. Quick walk to the water.
