The practical picture is dry camping with a 40-foot RV/trailer maximum. FWP does not include Wayfarers on its list of state parks with electric campsites, so arrive ready to run on batteries and tanks; no Flathead Lake state park unit has sewer at the site. Fees run $4 to $34 a night depending on season, site type, residency and pass treatment, and the current booking page shows a rolling three-month reservation window through the Montana State Parks system or 855-922-6768. Peak-summer walk-up availability is poor. The trade-off is simple: this is the Bigfork-and-showers choice, not the electric one; if you need power, look at Finley Point or West Shore instead.

Our verdict
Book Wayfarers if you can dry camp and want showers, swimming and a short hop into Bigfork. Skip it if you need electricity or sewer at the site.
No. FWP does not list Wayfarers among Montana state parks with electric campsites, and there is no water or sewer at the site. For an electric site on Flathead Lake, look at Finley Point or West Shore.
Montana FWP lists campsite fees from $4 to $34 per night, varying by season, site type, residency and pass treatment. The exact figure shows at checkout.
40 feet for RVs or trailers, but open the individual site record because driveways can be shorter than the park-wide maximum.
Yes for summer. The current booking page shows a rolling three-month window through montanastateparks.reserveamerica.com or 855-922-6768, and peak-season walk-up availability is poor.
Yes. FWP lists showers at Wayfarers, which makes it the shower-equipped choice among the Flathead Lake state park units.
