There’s something special about those Rocky Mountains. Come experience the best oat Lid Creek, a delightfully scenic campground in the heart of the rockies and along the gorgeous Hungry Horse Reservoir. While visitors return to this special area year after year, there’s one attraction 23 miles away that’s quite tempting: the West Glacier entrance into Glacier National Park. Don’t head over there too soon, though. Take some time to enjoy the majestic views, great fishing, pleasant mixed forest, huckleberry bushes, diverse wildlife, hiking and biking trails, swimming, and more. Let’s be real, the only thing you won’t find here is drinking water, so come prepared!

The Mooseshroom

11mi from Lid Creek Campground · 15 sites · Tents, Lodging · Coram, MT

The Mooseshroom is an awesome camping community that is just 7 miles from the west side of Glacier National Park. Community fire pits near the Commons are a short walk from whichever tent spot guests are assigned. The Commons also houses the bathrooms and inside/outside kitchen areas. There is plenty of seating, hammocks and picnic tables for guests to use as well. We also have two yurts available for booking on our property. The Mooseshroom is a licensed business that is limited to hosting 18 guests per night. Guests should expect a quiet, peaceful camping experience with plenty of room to enjoy their surroundings. ***This property is adjacent Highway 2 and there is a fair amount of road noise. There's also a train that's fairly close. The noise kinda comes with the territory, guests are also 10 minutes from the west entrance to the park. The noise does tend to subside considerably at night, but for those bothered by this type of noise, you might consider an alternate location. Most guests are truly fine with it.
