I just wanted to say thank you to Black Chewing Bones Camp and staff for offering such a peaceful space to camp. The sites were spacious, quiet, and so peaceful on the water. Staff welcomed us and shared information about the area. The bathrooms were clean and the entire campground was well kept.

Great campground. The staff was awesome and helpful. We reserved a spot (B18) ahead of time and luckily the campground was only about 1/2 full so I asked to move to a more scenic spot (G21). We moved campsites easily and ended up with a little path to the lake; it was awesome. The location is great for Many Glacier hikes. Quiet at night which was nice. The bathrooms were fine, nothing amazing but the shower was hot, so that was a win. Views are awesome. Definitely nice to get away from the crowds at the NPS campgrounds.

I really loved my stay here. The people were so nice, and the campground was really peaceful and beautiful. Set right on Lower Saint Mary Lake, my site had a beautiful sunset view of the sun going down past the mountains that head into Glacier National Park. It was nice to have a hot shower after several days back packing. It was even more nice contributing to the Blackfeet Tribe by staying on their reservation. Thank you so much for our stay and making it a great two nights for us.
