Verizon speeds were 44 Mbps download and 6 Mbps upload with a roof mounted Pepwave antenna. AT&T was 143/12 with a smartphone.
The big draw for this place is the waterside sights with great views of the lake. The loop road is very narrow and many of the sites are parallel to the road to facilitate the view. Our site was very unlevel - 5+ inches off side to side. The sites are also very close together. They're essentially bumper to bumper near the water.
I would stay again for the view. The low site qualify drops it a star.

Our campsite was A6 right on the water. It was small but quite lovely. Just enough beach for reading and fishing..

Steps away from the lake. Beautiful view, but sites are close together. Clean and comfortable campground.

This campground has breathtaking views of Flathead Lake and Wild Horse island. The campsites are just steps from the water, picnic tables and fire pits for most sites are just 10 yards from the waterS edge. This campground is pristine. Very well kept, very clean facilities, very attentive and accommodating hosts. We stayed in the off-season, Sep 24-25, which meant the showers were closed. But it was super easy to find a good spot by the lake, campground was at maybe 30% capacity. My one gripe was that the off season rate of $24 seems high if they are going to close the showers, but at the end of the day it was worth it. Highly recommend. Great cell service too!

It’s a pretty sweet spot. Esp the lakeside sites. You can book them online and in advance. Could spend a week here easy.

our site is so close to the shore and had an amazing view! Most sites are parked parallel and very little privacy between fire rings. No dumpsite but have potable water, pay showers. Full att signal. But all in all this place is beautiful, peaceful and rustic!

We could only snag a waterfront site for one weekend night in July but would have happily stayed longer.
The sites are huge and well spaced with plenty of privacy and you can be right on the water.
The bathroom was super clean but it was a pay shower so we skipped that.
There are no hookups so you are essentially boondocking in paid spot with some conveniences. We hiked and SUP’d and enjoyed the outdoors.

The pit toilets right in the A loop were nice and clean, and there was a plumbed bathroom with great showers as well. Highly recommended.

Easy access, good cell with 4 bars on Verizon, nice volunteers. Our site, B13, is parallel to the road, grassed area, picnic table, fire pit and a lovely little beach. The site is level. There are at least 4 tent sites a bit off the road at the B curve that looked nice and had their own little beach as well. The A loop says that if you are longer than 20’ you shouldn’t consider it. That road is narrow and has low clearance. Sites didn’t seem particularly level. There are also 2 or 3 yurts available. There is some road noise but we weren’t bothered by it. You could hear it in the A loop, though. I read somewhere that buying a non-resident annual pass for $35 is a good deal if you are going to be in Montana state parks for more than a few days. Out of state daily rate is $20. With a pass it’s $14 and the annual pass is $35. Since we’re traveling around the state for another 10 days, at least, it makes sense to get the pass. Just may end up coming back in the fall!
