Johnson's Campground & RV Park

Johnson's Campground is conveniently located near the east entrance of Glacier National Park. Campsites are spread out and some do have electric available. Two coins are given for each campsite reservation. The showers are decent, but small. It is near restaurants and stores in St. Mary. It is typically my last stop before crossing into Canada. I love staying here because I can get up early and get into the park, up to Logan's Pass, before the crowds begin to filter in.

Near East Entrance of Glacier National Park

Whether you're needing a tent space, are car camping, or have an RV/camper, Johnson's of St Mary's has you covered. No matter your plans, schedule 1 meal of your stay to check out the cafe, which has some excellent food, decor, and family history.

The tent sites come with a picnic table and a fire pit. I noticed from walking around not all have a grill, so if that's important to you I'd specifically ask during reservations.

The grounds are located very close to the national park, and given how quickly the national park campgrounds reserve each year, having this oprtion close by and available was a life saver.

If you're looking to do some backcountry in the park but don't have a permit, you are well advised to show up to the backcountry offices as early as possible, and this place is nearby a station, so I liked having this option for arriving late the night before with a guaranteed spot. It was nice to be able to fill up the water bladder with potable water before all the excursions as well.

It's got token operated showers, and you get 1token/person/day with your reservation, which should be fine. Showers last 6 minutes. From the offices you can also purchase ice and firewood.

WiFi is free at the office and cafe, and available for a fee at your campgrounds. I had full bars of service at my site. It will take you 5 minutes to get to the National Park entrance, gas stations are down the road. Views from the grounds are OK, and shade is plentiful.

Reservable campsite close to Glacier NP with great cafe and shady spots

This is a well loved for family owned campground. We stayed in the tent camping area and felt like it gave great privacy vs. the typical rows of RVs. There is tons of shade in the tent camping areas were as the RVs were more in the open but have the opportunity to have gorgeous distant lake views. We would stay here again as the location is perfect for getting into the park while being family owned and **responsible priced**.

Great location and reasonably priced!

Excited they had a spot available when we couldn't find anything else. No water or electric sites were pretty good. Site was level. Bathrooms were clean but smelled weird.

NIce sites

As close to glacier as you can get without being in it. We stayed in the tent meadows for one night. It was pretty busy and close together tent spots. Everyone was friendly. They have showers and bathrooms for guest use and even a place to eat. Rv spots are really tight together. We enjoyed staying here though, cool views of glacier and going to the sun road is strait across the road.

Close to glacier

We were supposed to stay at the KOA, but they had water damage issues and told us of this campground, right around the corner. 
Small close together spaces for each site, but they are required with a fire ring. 
The showers and toilets worked well, but there was no hot water that lasted longer than a few minutes. You get limited tokens for showers and they are the only way to turn them on. 
They have a restaurant, which is very delicious. It has a very nice home town feel. Good service as well. 
They sell firewood, but it is very expensive, I would recommend driving half a mile to the grocery store in the town to get wood for less than half the price. 
Wildlife passes through frequently, and we were able to see a moose walking through the woods right next to our site. 
The staff is very friendly. 

Good alternative

Stayed in a primitive site with no hookups. Rv sites are close together.  Tent sites are nice. We were in a little circle area with one other camper. Was a nice stay.  Has dump station, laundry. 5 minutes from East Glacier entrance and 20 min to Many Glacier. 

Close to Glacier east and many glacier

The campground is about as close as you can get to the east entrance of Glacier NP! The views from our site were amazing. The RV sites are on top of a hill and it got very windy when the Chinook winds hit with gusts up to 65 mph. The sites are a bit close together but we were expecting that in a place like Glacier.

The campground also has a laundromat and bathroom/showers. Propane fill was $4/gal. You shouldn't count on any sort of internet while you're there though. Verizon and T-Mobile will say full bars of 4G but the data speeds are non existant. The campground has wifi but it is equally slow.

Also note that there are only 2 gas stations in St Mary and are both VERY expensive ($6/gal in Aug 2022) so we planned around it and either filled up in Browning or West Glacier.

Awesome view of Glacier NP!

I really want to give this campground 5 stars but the tent sites left something to be desired. The sites with the views that sit on top of a hill are for RVs (even for RVs, they are pretty tight spots). The tent sites sit in a field and like a previous review states, have little privacy. However the sites are flat which is a huge bonus. We were lucky and the tent sites were not very busy so we were not terribly disturbed. Site 68 is decent as there is an opening set back in the trees for your tent. Most of the fire rings and picnic tables are set pretty close together. The bathrooms were nice and there was always plenty of hot water, even when showering during the busy evening times. The restaurant is fantastic and we ate there 3 nights in a row. The night time stars are fantastic and the location is great for east glacier and many glacier (30 minute drive to many glacier). The campground is VERY clean and staff is super friendly.

Great location, amazing restaurant, ok tent sites

We were in site 14. We had water and electric. The shower house was old and outdated. Our electric hook up was on the wrong side. There was no wifi and no cellular service except at the office. There was also a lot of road noise. No dog facility.
