Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies a glacially carved valley where dramatic limestone cliffs and exposed sedimentary layers frame the reservoir. Dense stands of Douglas fir, western larch, and lodgepole pine surround the sites, and the eastern shoreline position offers sunrise views across the water to snow-capped peaks. The reservoir fills a valley shaped by ancient ice flows, and the surrounding geology reveals prehistoric seas in its rock strata. Osprey and bald eagles fish the coves. Black bears and mountain goats appear on distant slopes.

Lodging & AccommodationsNo lodging accommodations are available within the campground.

Peter's Creek Campground

SUMMER PHYSICAL ADDRESS: 52 miles south of the intersection between US Highway 2 and FS Road 38, Hungry Horse, MT 59919

Peters Creek Campground sits on the shore of Hungry Horse Reservoir in Flathead National Forest, offering six primitive sites at 3,600 feet elevation. The campground is remote. No cell service, potable water, or fee collection. And attracts visitors looking for fishing access and solitude. Some sites work better for tents as the forest reclaims them.
