A local radio DJ is gaining traction on social media after he expressed frustration about campsite reservations on Flathead Lake. We did our own research to find out what’s going on.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks allows reservations to be booked six months out for all state park campgrounds, and Flathead Lake is booking up quickly.

Officials said the reservation system follows the lead of national parks and helps avoid issues with first-come, first-served campsites.

NBC Montana looked into FWP's booking website and found that campgrounds around Flathead Lake were mostly booked but with some availability depending on dates.

There will be a few options available for those spontaneous campers, as FWP sets aside a small amount of campsites as first-come, first-served.
