Story

Great spot to spend time on Flathead Lake! This state park has a few short trails, a boat launch, a great stretch of lakeshore, and nice campground. Scenic views of Flathead Lake, the Mission and Swan mountain ranges, and Goose Island. Campsites have vault toilets and are reservable in advance in a 6 month rolling window.

This campground does fill up regularly in the summer, so it's a good one to plan ahead on. Reservations can be made here: https://montanastateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/west-shore-unit--flathead-lake-state-park/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=MT&parkId=630119

Some of the campsites are suitable for boating up to, and the boat launch is great even for just a day paddle. Fantastic spot to put up a hammock and enjoy a peaceful lake day!
