Both locations feature comfortable canvas structures with full amenities, including electricity and private fire pits. Kiowa Frontier Yurts and Cabins offers 11 well-appointed sites with electric hookups and picnic tables for luxury outdoor stays. "The campground was clean and well cared for and well run. We had a back-in full-hookup site that faced the mountains," noted one visitor at St. Mary KOA. The glamping yurts at North American RV Park & Yurt Village provide upscale canvas accommodations with comfortable bedding, climate control, and proximity to park attractions. These eco-friendly glamping options blend rustic charm with modern comfort while maintaining sustainable practices.

    Glacier Campground

    Perfect for Glacier

    This was a cozy campground with AMAZING staff. Spots are a bit small wouldn’t recommend larger than a 30ft trailer. Water and electric (30amp only). Because wall the spots are nestled in the trees you definitely feel like you’ve got you’re personal space. Nice clean showers and laundry. They even have a cute cafe that is open for breakfast and dinner. A hidden gem! Less than a mile from West Glacier entrance. Currently reservations are only by phone but the owner said they were going to online soon. Would stay here anytime we visited Glacier.

    West Glacier KOA Resort

    Beauty, nestled against the mountains

    9/13/19 West Glacier, Montana 

    West Glacier KOA Resort

    Most beautiful location of the KOAs I've stayed at. Nestled against the mountains and less than 3 miles to Glacier National Park. 

    Lots of sites to choose from. Ours was a pull thru with nice vegetation between. Fire pit with benches and picnic table. Some sites are close together with no privacy. Some have gas grills and patio furniture. There are cabins and tent sites as well. Bathhouse was average. The cafe was open for breakfast and dinner.Ice cream shop closed for the season. Amazing pool! Nice play area, dog parks. Really nice camp store, firewood available. KOA Workshop on site. RV wash and dog grooming by appointment.

    West Glacier KOA Resort

    Crowded but not bad

    West Glacier KOA

    Nice campground, not surprisingly very crowded. Typical KOA, the sites are right on top of each other. Teenagers rudely cutting through your site. The next sites fire pit was 2 feet from my vehicle, I left that window closed so the smoke would not come in. One lane road with vehicles speeding both ways and inexperienced travelers backing ....trying to back into small sites. It was hectic, loud and crowded, though not horrible. There was shade on my “lane”, an adequate trail to walk, though watch out for bikers. A very nice dog park. Two food vendors, one ice cream, (cash) and a “grill” with outdoor seating and grill master. Two pools. One for families and the other adult only (yeah!) with hot tube. New shower house and laundry room. Close to Glacier and other tourist attractions. Reserve WAY ahead!

    Glacier Grizzly Resort- RV, Tent Site & TIPI - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

    Class A RV

    Just stayed for 4 nights, we checked out on July 14th. We're long time RVrs and were surprised at the 50 feet wide RV sites. Full service. Hooked up our 50 amp but never used our air conditioning. We had our heater on at night.

    Glacier Campground

    Great Wooded Spot

    We typically avoid private campgrounds. This one though was different. Amazing proximity to the west entrance of Glacier NP (but west side of Glacier NP is basically closed until July 1.) and a 1.5ish hour drive to the East gate and Two Medicine. We have a 25ft camper and the site was more than big enough. The camp sites were very well maintained but still felt like you were out in the woods camping. Good space between sites. Sites have a fire pit(only allow fires in their ring) and we did a water and electric hook up site. Dumping is free or you can pay them to come and dump your tanks on site. There is also a laundry room. We were very impressed.

    Sundance Campground & RV Park

    Rustic tent sites

    Not the most luxurious camp site, but was great for tent camping. Had a water spiket and electricity on site. The bathrooms and showers were nice. The owner was great. Loved that it was close to Glacier but also close to town for easy access to groceries and gas. Was only going to stay for one night but ended up staying for 5.

    Glacier Campground

    Quiet little Campground

    Nice campground off of Hwy 2 a few miles south of West Glacier and the entrance to Glacier NP. Spaces vary from tent sites up to a few that can accomodate 25-30’ trailers. Laundry and shower facilities are clean. Dogs are welcomed, but no specific areas are set aside to let dogs run. Water and electric hookups, and a dump station is located near the entrance. This is bear country, so leave no garbage or food outside during your visit. Owners are friendly and will do everything possible to try and make your stay enjoyable.

    North American RV Park & Yurt Village

    Great location, convenient, clean and friendly!

    We stayed here for 4 nights. Only 5 minutes away from West Glacier Park entrance. Close by is a zip line attraction with a blow up slide in water for the little ones and bounce house obstacle with a slide. Also an adventure park that has go karts, bumper cars, lazy river etc. Great location with so much to do outside the park. We had a corner spot which I really liked for some privacy. Each site has its own fire pit which was nice. Wi-Fi in my opinion worked great. Has a dog park and a little playground for kids. Laundry room and bath houses were very clean. Also has an arcade and loved how they use honesty policy during closed hours where you can pick up firewood or ice and pay the next morning:) I definitely recommend and will come back for another Montana adventure.

Winter temperatures can drop to -40°F, while summer days typically range from 60-80°F with cool nights. The area's unique positioning means campers often experience strong winds across the plains leading into the mountains, especially in spring and fall.

What to do

Hike to mountain lakes: At Red Eagle Campground, just 15 minutes from Two Medicine Lake, visitors find multiple trail options. "This campground is right outside the Two Medicine entrance to Glacier National Park, just as you turn off of Highway 49 onto Two Medicine Rd," notes one visitor. The location provides quick access to alpine lakes with fewer crowds than other park areas.

Enjoy riverside camping: Big Creek Campground offers riverside sites with water activities. "Nice tent campsite on the waters edge protected by trees for shade," explains a Chewing Blackbones visitor. The campground provides access to both swimming areas and paddling opportunities on calmer sections of water.

The area offers shopping opportunities in Columbia Falls (about 20 miles away), restaurants, and outfitter services for guided activities.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Chewing Blackbones Campground offers spacious campsites with natural separation. "Huge open campground. Available canoes and kayaks for rent," mentions one camper who appreciated the layout. Aspen groves provide natural screening between many sites.

Amenities for extended stays: Many locations offer conveniences for longer visits. "Nice to have full hookups," mentions a visitor to North American RV Park & Yurt Village. Facilities like laundry, shower access, and nearby stores make extended camping more comfortable.

One camper at Big Creek Campground noted: "Watched otters and loons in the lake and successfully avoided the bear!" Wildlife sightings commonly include foxes, moose, and various bird species, particularly during morning and evening hours.

What you should know

Weather preparation is essential: Temperatures fluctuate dramatically, even in summer. "The water is cold but doable for swimming if you can get acclimated," mentions a Chewing Blackbones visitor, highlighting the region's cool water temperatures even during hot days. Pack layers and rain gear regardless of season.

Reservation requirements vary: St Mary/East Glacier KOA and similar established campgrounds require advance booking during peak season (June-August). "We decided to take a trip to Glacier National Park with only a few weeks to plan. First off, don't recommend," advises one KOA visitor who struggled with last-minute arrangements.

Limited services in some areas: Facilities differ significantly between locations. At Red Eagle Campground, a visitor noted: "No services, but plenty of spaces... There was a sign posted saying there were no services. Also, no alcohol was allowed." Many sites have seasonal restrictions on water availability, particularly early and late in the season.
