We have stayed at a lot of campgrounds, this one was awesome. The campground hosts were always around, super friendly and super helpful. The bathrooms were clean and they kept up on picking up garbage. All in all, I would highly recommend!
Went camping and love this place but the darn squirrels close to the lake are ruthless...they will chew up your electrical lines under your hood. Ugh, not good.
I never imagined us camp hosting this year. But when we saw the ad that Tally Lake Campground needed a couple to finish out the last 6 weeks of the season, we simply could not resist. And here we are in one of the most beautiful campgrounds and the second largest lake in Montana. The people who hired us have years of experience and know how to train and treat their staff. They have made our first camp hosting gig a wonderful experience. A day has not gone by that a guest has not thanked us and told us their stories of coming to this Campground for years. They tell us we are doing a great job, but really the grounds and bathrooms and boat rental day use area have always been well cared for. Only a couple weeks left in the season and we will miss the guest, management and all the wonderful nature that surrounds Tally Lake Campground. Come on out... we would love to see you before the camp closes and we move on for the winter!
Will be coming back. Very quiet, plenty of restrooms, water spickets, the fire-pit reasonably sized, and plenty of bear-proof tras bins. Great staff, explained the fee process, it is 18.00 a night.(the night I stayed) Thank you very much, I will be coming back soon.
