Kintla Lake Campground
Directions

Located in the secluded North Fork area of Glacier National Park, Kintla Lake Campground offers primitive camping right along the water. Visitors can enjoy hand-launched canoeing, kayaking, and hiking with sweeping wilderness views far from the main park crowds. Reaching this quiet spot requires driving down a long, rough dirt road.

Quick tip: Bring non-motorized watercraft like a kayak or canoe, and ensure your vehicle can handle long stretches of unpaved gravel road.
