If you love camping, Montana is definitely the right home for you. Whether you prefer to park your RV next to some hook ups or you simply grab your tent and head deep into the woods, the Treasure State has the perfect spot for you. In fact, there are over 500 campsites in our state parks alone.

But when you’re ready to go all-in with the rustic camping experience, we highly recommend making a pilgrimage to our very own Kintla Lake. Not only is the lake absolutely breathtaking, but you can camp in any of the 13 rustic campsites you can find for a mere $15.

Kintla Lake is located in the northwest corner of Glacier National Park.

This part of the park is extremely remote. In fact, you'll be pretty close to the Canadian border.
At 1,698 acres, Kintla Lake is the fourth largest lake in the park.

And since it's surrounded by towering mountains and rolling hills, you'll feel like you're in your own world when you're here.
The Kintla Lake Campground isn't easy to reach, but it's certainly worth the effort.

You'll drive slowly down many long dirt roads, and the winding dirt road that leads to the campground might have you questioning your choices. That being said, the scenery along the way is spectacular.

There are 13 campsites here, and they are for tents only.

The campsites are all first-come, first-served, but due to the extremely remote location, they're hardly ever all full. A hand pump is available for potable water, and pit toilets are located in the campground as well. You'll also be fairly close to Polebridge should you need supplies.
The lake is an absolute paradise for kayakers, canoers, and other paddlers.

No motorcraft is allowed in the lake, so it stays peaceful. If you fish, bring your gear and try to catch some lake trout.
Although there are hardly any amenities at this campground, diehard camping fans will still have an amazing time.
