Overview
Bowman Lake Campground is located close to the shore of Bowman Lake and camp sites are within trees for shade and some privacy. Tent campers looking for peace and quiet will enjoy Bowman Lake for it’s serenity and remote location. Be sure to pack bug repellent or headnets though, as mosquitoes often take residence at Bowman Lake. Potable water is available through water spigots in the campground, and there are pit toilets nearby. A picnic area provides day use visitors with the opportunity to enjoy a peaceful lunch, and there are day hiking opportunities near Bowman Lake for hikers eager to experience Glacier’s wilderness. Fisherman, canoers, and kayakers will enjoy the recreational opportunities Bowman Lake offers. Motorized vessels are allowed on Bowman Lake, but are limited to 10 horsepower or less.
Limited amenities can be found in Polebridge.
RVs and truck and trailer combinations are not recommended at Bowman Lake due to the nature of the long, narrow, and windy dirt road to the campground. Turning vehicles around (3-point turns) is difficult.
Sites are on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Primitive camping is available (9/14 - 10/31), depending on weather and road conditions. Primitive camping is $10.00 per night. During the primitive camping season there is no water available and campers are advised to bring their own drinking water.
