Two Medicine Campground — Glacier National Park

Love this campground- the sites feel private and tucked away. We lucked out with a spot right across from the water. You can access trails right from the campground, and it’s just a short drive to the lake to rent canoes. Absolutely beautiful!

Beautiful and serene

Everything in Glacier in summer is crowded, and Two Medicine is no exception. It is a first come, first served campground with running water. The sites are all within a 100 years of the lake=beautiful. In the winter, the road into two medicine are closed. These are car/RV camping sites. Many great trails off of this campground. Warning, the east side of the park can be very windy. 

Nice campground in Glacier, does fill up

Two Medicine is in a "wilder" part of the park. It just feels a little more primitive and wild than the other campground I've been to in Glacier (Apgar). Plus, the trial head for (in my opinion) the most beautiful hikes in the park, Dawson- Pitamakan. Most all the campsites are right on the lake and there is a ranger station nearby as well. Such a great part of the park, highly recommend! It gets crowded but not as bad as Apgar.

Some of the most beautiful parts of the park!

What to create memories that years to come will put a smell on your face, then go to Two Medicine. We went there all the way from Georgia and worth every mile driven. 

Memories

I normally prefer backcountry sites when I'm in our National Parks to get the best experience possibly, but Two Medicine Campground is as good a campground as you can get.  With plenty of woods surrounding each site, you get the feeling of privacy and the views can't be beat.  From mountains to lakes the scenes surrounding the campsites are amazing.  There is also a general store that is a log cabin and a great spot to get supplies and souvenirs.  There was also a wonderful ranger program.  One of our favorites that we have ever seen and we have been to a lot.  In my opinion this is the best campground in Glacier National Park. 

Two Medicine is Great Camping

Two medicine was recommended to us for a less "touristy" campground. We found an open campsite getting there after noon hour, but don't get there too late they'll eventually fill up. But great variety of trails, beautiful scenery. Saw a female moose the first day, we definitely kept our distance though! Campgrounds were very clean with nice amenities, make the east side of the park your next stop! Also, not a far drive back towards Many Glacier area! We'll be back.

Don't miss this area!

Glacier National Park campgrounds fill up quickly -- but if you're coming to the park from the south east -- you might have a chance to get a site at the lovely Two Medicine. The entrance to the Two Medicine section of Glacier is separate from the main entrance, and it seems that many people miss this option until all the other options run out.  

The campground is beautiful, and sits right on the lake with two mountains as a backdrop. Sites are spacious, however, there isn't a lot of privacy between sites. Some sites connect to others- which can be a bonus if you're traveling in a larger group. 

We camped at Sites #72 & #73 -- two connecting sites one row back from the lake view. Each site had a fire pit, picnic table, tent pad, and access to toilets without a long walk. This site pair also had a nice trio of trees that we were able to use for our 3 hammocks (and hang them with a lake view).

To access other portions of the park like Going to the Sun road, the drive back out to the main entrance was an extra 10-12 miles. At the campground there is access to a number of short to medium hikes as well as a ranger station and lake tours by boat. 

You may actually find a spot after 10 am!

Campgrounds are on the outskirts of Two Medicine but the hike is absolutely beautiful and scenic! Lots of wildlife and flowers to see. Its a main hiking spot of Glacier. Lush and green you will find it mixed with Glacier snow and water cascading from the mountain. The experience is worth this stop on your trip through Glacier!

Two Medicine

Two Medicene Campround, which is located in the Glacier National Park is a beautiful place to stay! You honestly can't go wrong with any campgrounds in the National Park. I would say this campground is definitely less busy then other sites in the Galcier park. I went mid August and didn't have a problem finding a campsite. You can't call ahead of time and make reservations, it's on a first come first serve basis. I got to the campground around noon and was able to get a great spot, site 87 which was tucked away. I had enough space and privacy which is always nice! I love this place because it has great views, scenery and awesome hikes. I also loved that the ranger on site was helpful and knowledgable. He directed me to a few great hikes! The hikes were awesome, and had some pretty great views! My favorite hike was Cobalt Lake, it was about 6 miles total and definitely worth it. The campground itself was clean and well kept. The campsites do have a picnic table and fire ring. Just FYI, they do not have showers available but they do have flush toilets and running water. If you are only staying a few nights, a shower isn't really needed :). I would definitely recommend coming and staying here, it's a great place to stay!

5 stars, beautiful place to stay!!

Two Medicine never disappoints. I bring my waders and float tube and love to fish in the lake. The campground is at the base of a mountain where bear sightings are not uncommon! In true Montana fashion, the weather can change drastically in minutes. Wind can come through really strong here! Warning! I suggest hiking Scenic Point...pictures just don't do it justice.

All Time Favorite!

Took my brother to Montana for the first time. We did an epic road trip. 5000 miles all over the west. Stayed in two medicine camp ground for a week. We hit some great trails out there. Twin falls, was a nice hike. I haven't been back there in 15 years. So much fun. Planning another trip there soon. The hike to hidden lake was a good hike. We're not in the best shape but we made it and it was so worth the trip. Had a little encounter with a black bear down by the lake but nothing to bad. Looking forward to the next trip.

Epic trip 

Two Medicine was the first campground we went to in Glacier. It is on the southeastern part of the park and there were significantly less people there. There are plenty of campsites and there is a good amount of privacy for each site. The camp store there is great too!

The best part of this place is there were plenty of fantastic trails leaving right from the campground. I highly recommend the hike to No Name Lake.

A less crowded area of Glacier.

One of my favorite places to camp because it’s secluded off on East Glacier and has about 30-50 campsites available. Again, summer is crowded but worth it to stay here a few nights. The hiking is challenging with Dawson/Pitamakan Pass which is around 20-22 miles round trip but one of the best views being up at the top of all the mountains. Bear frequenting so bring bear spray! 

Absolutely stunning campground on Two Medicine Lake. It’s first come, first serve and we were able to score a site in July midweek. The ranger was super helpful and informative and the campground host couldn’t have been nicer. She came around in the evening to remind people to keep everything safe from bears and told us all about the area and her love for it. Many campsites sit along the water with views of the mountains, however ours was more inclosed in the trees which was nice and private. We neglected to buy firewood in time and the hosts just gave us some from a pile of firewood left behind by prior campers. One of our best camp spots to date, and the bathrooms were a bit rustic but clean and I was happy there were numerous little bathrooms so you were never too far!

Great location and stunning views!

This is a remote campground on the east side of Glacier Park. The sites are tight, and if you have a large RV, it may be tricky to get in and out. The campground usually fills by about 8:30 in the mornings, so be aware and be there early. You'll meet folks from around the country, and the hiking opportunities are some of the finest in the park. Even just strolling around the camp area and Two Med Lake, you'll be happy you came!

Views to Die For!

There are fewer tourists in this part of the park, so you can really enjoy your time in the wilderness. We spent the first part of the day visiting waterfalls and hiking a couple of trails, we didn't run into too many people. Numerous day hiking options and a great way to start enjoying GNP!

Campsites are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The campground is mostly shaded by trees which offer a bit of privacy. Flush toilets and access to running water is available. There is a Chalet that was built by the railway that now serves as a camp store and gift shop. Very “rustic” camping but it’s totally worth it.

Great introduction to Glacier National Park

This campground has 3 separate loops. The loop we stayed at did not allow generators. This was campground is walking distance to the Ranger Station, Camp Store and best of all the lake. The sites are very roomy and included fire pits and picnic tables. The rangers do patrol the campground often to ensure guests are practicing best bear safe practices. You will see and possibly encounter wildlife. This is a great campground that allows you to visit some of the“less” busy parts of the park with ease.

Beautiful Location and great campsites!

Compared to other campgrounds in Glacier, Two Med is quiet and low key. Definitely more of a chill vibe, read: no one here was partying loudly. We stayed in a reserved site that is designated back country as we finished a back country trip with the last night at Two Medicine, where we parked our car. Many people who use this site are not on a loop, but on the many are on the CDT and use this as a great place to bathe (the lake) and see a few humans. This site is tent only, designated with wood pilings and has small rocks/sand as the floor - it was very hard as no rain lately and difficult to get in tent stakes. It fits a large tent - maybe 12'? We used our car as our 'bear box', be very bear aware here and use clean camping. Black and Brown bears can frequent the area. Bathrooms clean, no showers (but there is that nice lake!) The boat ride across the lake is worth it for the commentary and views, make advance reservations.

Quiet and low key

We camped here for 1 week at the end of July. The views were absolutely breathtaking. We rolled in around 5:30 AM and waited to find a good site where someone was packing up. We finally found a location close to the water so the kids could easily access and cool off. It was right next to a parking area for the water but it really wasn’t too bad. The campsite was fairly private. We were there mostly at night anyways and everyone seemed to respect the quiet time hours. Would definitely camp here again. 

Picturesque Views

The views, oh my goodness, the views@
Arrived mid afternoon and found a site,  there were a ton!to pick from! We had a nice view, close to bathroom and bear box. 
Only downside was that it rained on our first night and we woke up to our tent in about 3 inches of water.  Thankfully there were sites still open so we could move. 
If there is rain in the forecast pick carefully.
Was able to fish in the lake and it was convenient to have the store close by. 

Amazing views!

 Very awesome atmosphere. Rangers are friendly and very helpful. Close and short hikes if you have kids. Canoes, boats, kayaks for rent. Boat tours.  Had an incredible time fishing. It’s awesome. 

Lots to do

After not getting a reservation to Going to the Sun Road for the first day of our trip, we decided to go to the East Side of Glacier for the day where no reservations are required. We did a little research before heading to the campground for the night. It historically doesn’t fill all the way up. You cannot reserve a spot online— it’s just first come, first serve. We pulled in around 7:00pm and there were still quite a few spots. (For reference.. this was a Friday night on the last week of a July— so during busy season.) $20/night. Bathrooms are available. The lake is BEAUTIFUL. I highly recommend watching the sunrise from the benches around the lake. A colder night because of the proximity to water but a beautiful site. Would absolutely recommend to everyone visiting Glacier!!

Good for last minute plans!

The views are gorgeous! It was a great last minute choice after not being able to explore going to the sun road. Reservations were fully booked but so glad I took a chance with two medicine. Was able to take a dip in the lake. One of the trails were off limits due to bear activity. The site was clean, the bathrooms were also clean, a bit outdated but still functional. I strolled in around 9:30 am and there were plenty of spots to choose from. They are first come first served. The rangers were really friendly, the camp host was knowledgeable. 

The views! 

First come first serve. This was my favorite campground. From the different campsites to the sun setting over the lake, to the people I met. I've never seen so many camp cats on leashes. I think I counted 7 cats out with their owners enjoying nature. Plenty of restrooms, and lots of different loops to choose from. 

  

At the time of my visit, there was heavy black bear activity. No soft side camping aloud. You had to stay within reach of your food to be able to quickly grab it and retreat into your vehicle if the black bear was in camp. There was a dead moose on the other side of the lake, so the hiking trail was closed. We did see the bear along the trees, but it didn't come into camp that night.

My favorite campground

This campground is located in Glacier National Park. The views of the lake and surrounding mountains from this campground are spectacular. Make sure you reserve early.
No cell service
