We stayed at B89, the very end of Loop B, for two nights—August 23 & 24. A couple sites next to us stayed empty. I could see the headlights and brake lights of cars through the trees, waiting for their turn to take the one lane construction zone road into the park at 5:30am and could hear louder vehicles at times. The second night we got better at finding a flat spot on the site for the van.

Fellow campers were very quiet all the time. The bathroom was clean and a short walk away, although there was no soap. We had to drive to the shower in Loop A and wait in line (not everyone knows that 20 minute showers when there are only 3 is not very courteous). The showers were hot and really big (could’ve made 6 showers out of that building).

The road along Lake McDonald as others have said is entirely under construction. A bumpy ride that I remembered to be so peaceful and beautiful the previous several times I was here. It’s exactly one hour from Apgar to Logan Pass where parking filled up around 7:40am.

There were fire restrictions during our stay meaning there was no way to cook food, no way to enjoy a campfire which was a bummer. But we spent our second day renting a motorboat (we saw a bear on the shore!) and eating at Eddie’s Cafe which were both great experiences.
