Swan Lake Trading Post sits on Swan Lake and is close proximity to Glacier National Park, Black Tail Mountain Ski Area, Flathead Lake State Park, and Wild horse Island.
We booked this campground for our family reunion. After seeing the sites in person we decided we needed more tent space on softer ground so the hosts were happy to help us out and refunded part of our RV site fee and gave us more tent space. The hosts were so friendly and happy to help. Bathrooms and showers were clean and RV campsites had full hookups. The Trading Post kept us well supplied with ice, internet service and ice cream. We spent time boating on Swan Lake and also visited nearby attractions such as the Northwestern Montana Fair & Rodeo in Kalispell and the Columbia Falls Waterslide park. It was a great home base camp spot to come back to. Quiet and small so we didn’t feel overcrowded. Thank you for a great stay!
Close to bigfork and conveniently close to the lake! The hosts were very friendly me accommodating. The bathrooms were also super clean! We were road-tripping and had stopped here for the night, since we’d been camping so many nights in a row we wanted to just go to a hotel, we ended up saying goodbye to the hosts and their beautiful campground. They refunded us even though we basically canceled last minute, which was EXTREMELY kind of them.
4 day reservation at this campground because we prefer a smaller quiet campground versus the "trailer park style."
This is by far the best campground we've ever stayed at. The hosts are friendly and were more than accommodating our entire stay. Anything we needed they were able to help. The guy even helped us back out rig into our site the first night as it was late.
The hosts were exceptionally friendly, brought firewood right to our site, opened the laundry room later than stated hours for us, and let us get a few necessities in the store (even though it wasn't officially open). If we ever come back out to Glacier area, we will definitely be staying here again!!
No service at campsite but didn't bother us any because, after all, that's not what camping is about!!
10/10 highly recommend 😊
Wonderful location and such amazing staff! The trading post was clean and organized. An incredible deal for the little cabin, great privacy. I wasn’t quite prepared to unload and walk my items to the cabin, but it was a short walk I didn’t mind. The mosquitos were fairly bad, which the small pond nearby probably didn’t help that. But our family will definitely return.
Having just purchased my RV, I needed some help figuring out how to hook everything up. The staff at the trading post was so friendly and helpful, and I felt totally safe as a solo traveler. The facility is gorgeous, and you can’t beat the views. Surrounded my mountains and pine trees, right across the street from beautiful Swan Lake. The store has everything you’ll need from groceries, beer, merch, camping gear, fishing gear, and even the toiletries you forgot to pack. The fresh food counter has a ton of delicious fare to choose from, including huckleberry milkshakes! In case that wasn’t enough, the campsite has showers, laundry, full RV hookups, campsites, and YURTS. And the cherry on top? It’s affordable! Loved my visit, can’t wait to come back.
