Oldman Lake is a remote backcountry wilderness campsite in Glacier National Park, perched at approximately 6,646 feet in a glacially carved cirque beneath Pitamakan Pass and Flinsch Peak. Four individual campsites accommodate small parties in this alpine setting, reached via a 13.2-mile round-trip hike originating from the Two Medicine area North Shore Trailhead. A vault toilet is on-site, but no treated water is provided — campers must filter or treat water from natural sources. A wilderness use permit is required for all overnight stays, with advance reservations available through Recreation.gov. The campground typically opens in mid-July once winter snowpack clears from the high terrain.
