Apgar campground is the largest campground in the park. It is situated in trees and provides tent and RV campers with shade and some privacy. Evening sunsets on Lake McDonald are only a short stroll, and you won't want to miss evening programs with a ranger at the Apgar Amphitheater. Many trails are located within a short drive of the campground. Five Group Sites are reservable in advance. All sites require a reservation. Most sites have a 6-month booking window with a good handful having a 4-day booking window. Hiker/Bicyclist sites A10, C144, and C146 are available through the Recreation.gov…
