We loved the Hosts as many people have said. It's the cleanest Pit Toilet ever. Very pretty campground. Yes road noise and train but whatever it was very nice.

The camp hosts, Karen and Randy, are the best we have ever had. Clean campsites and pit toilets. They work hard to maintain the campground and are visible walking around several times a day.

Pitches were large (2 ppl + tent) and flat and felt private. Randy and Karen were super friendly and very attentive and helpful. No water available. Toilets were clean!! No cell service but we're international and piggybacking on T-Mobile. Good location between west glacier and two medicine but with driving in the park it does make it a long day once you head too/from entrances, I guess this as good as it gets unless you stay in the park?! I think we paid $18 a night. Frequent and long trains passing near by and also v close to the main road - the noise didn't bother us too much but you're aware of it.

Randy and Karen are the nicest camp hosts we have met yet, and keep a spotless campground. Only 2 negatives - the sites at the front had a lot of road and train noise (which didn't bother us) and the flies were absolutely terrible (which did bother us). We will definitely be back!

I’ve stayed in many a Forest Service campground but this place was definitely one of the very best. The FS has obviously done some major updates recently with new pit toilets, tables, and bear boxes. Very well maintained by two incredible camp hosts Karen and Randy. Karen was actually wiping down and cleaning the table at our site when we pulled in. The toilets were immaculate. The loop and sites are all paved and pretty level. The night skies viewing was awesome. We came in without a reservation midweek in the afternoon and several sites were available.
There is a train track across the valley but the noise is just the rumbling of the cars and was easily overlooked considering how great everything else was. Close to Glacier NP.

Randy and Karen are great camp host and keep a very clean Campground. The sites are level and well spaced. There's a stream behind the site which is very relaxing to listen to. It's a great base camp for exploring East or West Glacier National Park. There are numerous trains that are about 3/4 of a mile from the Campground so there is some noise. No horn blowing but rumblings up and down the tracks. Lots of trails not far from the Campground that you'll see no one on. We would stay again. No cell service in this area.

Devil Creek is a quiet beautiful primitive campground set amongst the trees. Sites are spacious with black top pads. The vault toilets are very clean. The hosts were very kind and friendly.

We wasted a couple of hours looking for camping at Hungry Horse Reservoir when we decided to make the “trek” down to Devil Creek campground. I had made a reservation for one night, but didn’t think we would be in the area since East Glacier was closed. I’m so happy I didn’t cancel it! We arrived after 8pm and were met with the most gracious camp hosts you could ask for. Don and Bonnie are an amazing team with a wealth of knowledge, great stories and kind hearts. We were able to move into another spot for the 2nd night, which was a lifesaver. Finding camping around Glacier had turned out to be quite the headache. The campground itself was very clean, has a trailhead to a small waterfall and farther, if you choose, into the wilderness, walk to river across the street and only 30 minutes from west Glacier. I can’t wait to go back and chat it up with Don & Bon...they rock!!

Great place for the price. Camp host was awesome very well taken care of. Clean restrooms, the only negative is that it is smack in the middle of Hey 2 meaning a 30 drive either way to town 60 round trip!

Very nice and well maintained I noticed as I walked over from the Devil's Creek Trailhead/Horsecamp.
