Heart of Glacier RV Park & Cabins

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Hiking to Many Glacier, driving Going-to-the-Sun Road, and reaching Swift Current Lake are all within range of Heart of Glacier RV Park & Cabins, a small private campground in Babb, Montana, positioned about 2.2 miles from the east entrance to Glacier National Park. Sites run $32-$58 per night and include full hookup options with electric, water, and sewer, making this a functional base for RV campers working through the park's east side over several days.

The layout is compact. Sites in the big rig section are level and graveled with grass areas and picnic tables, though they sit in open sun with no shade. Tent and 30-amp sites along the perimeter are tree-shaded but tight, with some spots reportedly only six feet apart. Several sites have open sightlines toward Gunnsite Ridge. Cell service is essentially nonexistent at the campground, and WiFi reaches only as far as the office. The on-site laundry room has received consistent praise from reviewers, with one noting the "laundry room clean with a new large front loader washer and dryer," per Love4travel T.

Access roads around the campground are dirt and can be rough. Campers planning to drive to Many Glacier should know the road includes several miles of bumpy dirt with large ruts, which gives some RV owners pause. Johnson's of St Mary Campground & RV Park sits just northeast for those comparing nearby options. Reservations are available and worth making in summer, when the park entrance corridor fills quickly.

Heart of the Glacier

Have spent several days here. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Close to the park entrance and local shops. Costs around 70 a night. Only criticism is some sites and very close together, like 6 ft apart.

Loved the location - RV sites are snug

Loved the location to Glacier. It’s a small park and a tight squeeze between campsites. Our awning nearly touched the neighbors window shade. We really didn’t mind since we were inside while it rained and exploring the park when it was sunny. We had #1 which was on the end under trees. We prefer shade rather open exposed spots. Staff was sweet as could be! Laundry room clean with a new large front loader washer and dryer. Many tent sites tucked along the perimeter.

Make the trip to Many Glaciers! Be aware, there’s a few miles of dirt road that’s bumpy and some large ruts. You’ll be paid off when you reach Swift Current Lake. I felt transported to Switzerland! Absolutely beautiful! Wish we knew sooner so we could have camp there for a day or two. Although I’d be a little hesitant on bringing the RV over the dirt road.

Came for a couple of nights, stayed 6

This is a small, family owned native American campground. While not perfect, we ended up staying 6 nights. We had no reservations and called around. They were very accommodating. We loved how convenient it was to St. Mary (1 block) and the Many Glaciers road turnoff at Babb (8 miles). Some sites so have mountain views. Although only 2 bathrooms with showers (1 each for men & women) they were very nice with current decorating. There are new power poles in the big rig section for 50 amp. However, there is no breaker on the pole. We used a 30 amp reducer and on the 3rd night, our power relay switch fried. We had to go to Great Falls for repairs (Martin's RV Repair is the bomb). They couldn't be sure, but think it may have been a power surge, not a lose wire. The roads around the campground were dirt and not smooth. Not too bad though. The big rig section was level, gravel sites with grass area and picnic tables. No shade. The other areas for 30 amp and tent/car camping are tree shaded. The wifi could only be reached at the office. No cell at all. They do have 2 washers and 1 dryer. $2 each. This is definitely not a resort. They do try hard to accommodate. Would we go back. Yes, but only if we could get a 30 amp (our rig usage) site.

Awesome scenery and hikes close by. Going to the Sun road is amazing. Hidden Lake Overlook is not to be missed. PRO NOTE: If you like steak, Cattlemen in Babb (the only rest.) makes the best steak and lamb per hubby. Avoid the Salmon, though.
