    Overview

    Big Creek Campground lies in the expansive Flathead National Forest in northwestern Montana, 2 miles south of the Northwest entrance to Glacier National Park. Visitors can enjoy access to the Flathead River as well as the countless other recreational opportunities provided by the surrounding forests. Big Creek Campground has 22 campsites, 12 of which are reservable and 10 are walk-up, first come, first serve sites. The stay limit is 16 consecutive nights.

    Recreation

    Visitors enjoy the ample fishing and floating opportunities provided by the river. Trout are a popular catch amid the calm flow of the water. Boating is also an excellent pastime, as the river is perfect for floating, rafting and canoeing. Across from the campground is the Glacier Institute's Big Creek Outdoor Education Center, which provides learning opportunities for visitors of all ages. Programs offered include seminars and guided hikes, which point out the diverse natural and cultural resources of the Glacier National Park and the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem.

    Natural Features

    In the heart of the Rocky Mountains, west of the continental divide and just south of the Canadian border, lies the 2.4 million acre Flathead National Forest. Home to lynx, grizzly bear, and bull trout and with numerous lakes, streams, and rivers to enjoy, the forest is a premiere destination for visitors. The campground sits along the North Fork of the Flathead River, which begins in Canada and joins a couple other forks before depositing into Flathead Lake. It is a forested area of mature pine and fir trees that provide a sparse understory at an elevation of 3,300 feet.

    Great potential!

    The location of glacier grizzly campground is perfect for visiting st Mary or east glacier. 17 miles either way. The bonus is taking star school road in from browning. So much easier in the monster rigs. Great set up for them at this campground. It is new and still getting there. But hot showers. Super quiet nights and beautiful views and night skies. This place is a winner. I can’t wait to return once the landscaping is complete. Colin and Lori were most gracious hosts. And fly fishing at the creek right there. Awesome. Also they have teepees. Glamping at its best. Stay at the far end for wi-fi😉

    Glamping!

    This is glamping. This is a resort with resort amenities and feels so vacation-y. I enjoyed the heck out of it. We stayed in a Deluxe Kamping lodge with a medium patio and full bath. Linens and bedding provided, partial kitchen (stocked), room for 6. KL3 is at the back of the campground away from the busy entrance and pools—feels nice and private. Beautiful grounds, two pools, and delicious steaks ($) for dinner at the Lazy Bear Cafe. Lots to do and 2.5 miles from the west entrance to GNP. Laundry available; showers and restrooms if you’re in a tent or RV. Busy, but everyone is chill. My kids think we’re in Disney and it’s nice to be able to relax a bit after a disastrous year. Note: Most amenities are outdoors, including the restaurant.

    West Glacier KOA Resort

    Only 4 star because they over-booked and because it is a KOA playground....

    So, its a KOA which is awesome for some and not for others. I have only been to a handful but they are way too managed and the stereotypical "glamping" situation. Reason we booked was because we were headed from a nearby camp on Flathead lake and wanted to get closer to Glacier before walking in for a permit. This KOA is less than 20 minutes from the Apgar permit office... We booked a primitive cabin online before the trip, and then the night of our arrival, about 1 hour till their general store/office closed, we got a phone call saying that they made a mistake and they over booked. How did they handle it? They put us up in one of their luxury full cabins! Now, that is not the experience we were looking for, but for us this was merely a one nighter to get to Glacier. So we accepted. Campfire ring, picnic table, private parking, and our own little cabin complete with flat screen tv and surround speakers in the ceiling. 2 other bedrooms one with bunks that went unused, a kitchen with coffee maker and mini fridge, and a bathroom with toilet, sink, and shower... While not the experience we were looking for it sure made it easier to pack up and get into glacier for that walk in permit. Although there was some mistake with their booking they owned it and gave us what would be considered a huge upgrade, and we made it to the permit office early without needing to worry about deflating our sleeping pads. Thank you West Glacier KOA!

    Yurt

    Stayed in a yurt for a week. Loved the vibe of the campground. Free coffee was a life safer for early rising to get into the park at 6am. Rented a ebike from rental place next door and was able to ride ebike to the park on a walking trail. Loved the yurt and stayed warm. They were very helpful to book us all side by side (2 yurts and a cabin)

    Liars Thieves

    Beware! The people running this business are con artists, liars with no ethics and no morals. I booked for a Glamp Tipi for 1 night for an overpriced $440. The evening of the reservation, they texted me and said that their "power is out" on all the furnished tipis and told me they have an RV instead. I said I did not want an RV because we already have one but really just wanted the tipi experience. Lori told me that she could only offer me what they have or we could just cancel. I said I will just cancel then if they can't provide what I booked for and then asked her if I will receive my refund within a few days. She said "yeah definitely". 3 week later, I noticed I still have not received my refund. I left her a few text messages, it shows that she read them but she did not respond. I called their toll-free number and Daniel answered. I explained to him what happened. He said that Lori no longer works there anymore and she probably didn't respond because she doesn't care. He said he will take down my name and number and check the system and call me back tomorrow morning. He never did. The next day, I called him back several times throughout day and he never answered the phone. This is such shady business practice. At this point, I got really worried that I'm a victim of fraud and that they have stolen my money and hiding now. I started to look up the online reviews and noticed all the negative reviews were similar stories to mine. I texted Lori again confronting her and she finally replied "I'll check back with the cancellation department and let you know when I hear about your refund." Obviously she is lying because Daniel just told me she no longer works there! And of course she never did check and never ever got back to me, even when I texted her multiple times to follow up after that day. How can they think that they can just steal innocent people's money and run off and get away with it?! I called my credit card company to dispute the charges because this business refuses to cooperate and refund me for a service that they could not provide. I called them a hundred times and through other avenues and they clearly are avoiding me. I know there are many others like me who have been scammed by them. We should all band together and take legal class action lawsuit because what they are doing is wrong and so that they don't keep doing this to more people! I found so many fake reviews they did for themselves to offset the ton of negative reviews they receive. There are obvious telltale signs that the positive reviews are so fake. They are a huge disgrace to the genuine Blackfeet Tribe community.

    Lots of money- no real peace

    KOAs can be counted on for having many sites available at about the highest cost ever. East Glacier/ st Mary’s is no exception.

    But, you can make a reservation and be assured of having a site in this remote area of Montana.

    The campground has a pool and a puzza parlor that delivers and a store and laundry,and lots of noise due to the hundreds of sites.

    Beautiful view of the Glacier National Park Rocky Mountains

    Yes it’s a new campground but it’s very close to all of the East Glacier attractions and it’s surrounded by Montana’s natural beauty. I stayed for 5 days and had an amazing time. I even got a chance to talk to the owner and he was extremely helpful. Also, he informed me on the rich history behind the land.  This place has a lot of history behind it. I feel like I can now say I have a great understanding of Blackfoot and Glacier Park history staying here.  I officially have checked off something that’s been on my bucket list for the longest time! Thank you guys!

    Glacier Campground

    Gorgeous!!!

    Montana is absolutely gorgeous! I may be biased because I go to college in Montana, but there is so many great outdoor activities. The mountains and scenery are my favorite. Some college friends and I have done a lot of camping over the years together, and Glacier Campground was one of my favorites. The campground is awesome, and is a few exits down from the Glacier National Park. Trees surround you within the campground, which was great because my friends and I had hammocks so those were easy to hook up with all the trees! One thing we really enjoyed doing was we did some horse back riding! There is a place nearby where you can go and do this. We had a blast!! There are many lakes and rivers too that are great. We enjoyed swimming in the lake, and also rented some kayaks at a local shop a few miles away. The campground does offer spots for tents, RVs and they also have cabins. We chose to tent because we are poor college students :). Maybe at some point we would try renting a cabin because they looked pretty fun. We didn't reserve our spot ahead of time, but we were able to get a spot still. It was in the spring time, so I'm sure if it was in the summer months you might want to call and make a reservation. Each campsite does have a table and fire pit which came in handy for us. We only stayed for the weekend, but wish we could have stayed longer to do some hiking. Because Glacier National Park is right around the corner, I know they have great hikes. If you are into hiking, I would definitely research hikes in that area. I can't wait to come back!!

    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.

    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.

    Glacier Campground

    Glad we came to Glacier!

    This is both a campsite review and a Dyrt Ranger product review.

    CAMPSITE REVIEW: We almost cancelled our trip to Glacier due to the current forest fires that have closed some of the park. We decided to take a chance on it though, and stayed just outside the west entrance of the park, at the privately owned Glacier Campground. We decided, given possible problems with smoke and haze, to rent one of their camper cabins instead of tent camping. Their camper cabins here are cozy and really nice, and much more reasonably priced than any others in or near the park! There were a lot of nice tent and RV spots for camping too, the whole place was like an upscale state park with many large, secluded shady campsites tucked into beautiful mature forest. There is a terrific indoor-outdoor cafe on site, and a central gathering area with playground and group picnic shelters. There are hot showers and regular bathrooms too. The campground is 1/2 mile to the entrance to Glacier National park, but 1/2 mile in the other direction is the new “Crown of the Continent” Geotourism and Education Center sponsored by the state of Montana and National Geographic. The folks at the campground can shuttle you over here to view the high quality environmental and geography education exhibits on display, to sample local foods and crafts, or to sign up for outdoor adventures like horseback riding, fly fishing, llama trekking and more. The campground itself is pet friendly, they even allowed our dog to stay in a camper cabin with us, which many dont. To our dismay, we discovered that dogs arent allowed on hiking trails within Glacier National Park itself, but we got advice at both the campground and at the Geotourism Center about National Forest trails in the area that dogs ARE welcome to hike on. So this a fabulous place to stay, with something for everyone, and an especially good homebase for dog families who want to get out on area hikes. Note: there is also an Amtrak train stop near this campground, and they have a shuttle to pick you up if you arrive by train!

    PRODUCT REVIEW (note: I made a video review that is in the photo gallery for this written review, but it seems to have uploaded in low-res format. For the high-def version, check this link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RSpe9dDicR0ICEPaS_JBpTlKqszY9kWa

    As a Ranger for the Dyrt, sometimes I get to test new products. This is a review for the OOmg women's low-rise sport shoe made by OOFOS. I was interested to try them out because they are billed as supportive "recovery shoes" for hikers or runners after a long trek. As I have plantar fasciitis and am also a few months post-recovery from a broken metatarsal, I wanted to try something that might help on an upcoming hiking and camping trip. After the shoes arrived, I thought I should break them in a bit so I wore them around the house and on dog walks around the neighborhood--so comfortable from the start that no breaking in was needed, but I also didn't want to take them off! Really comfortable and really supportive. I was really impressed--so impressed that once we started on our trip, I wore them on short easy hikes rather than just wearing them after hikes, and they held up well. In fact, they were more comfortable than my actual hiking shoes, so I ended up wearing them on all my hikes over the next week, more than 40 miles of action. They may not have the deep tread or the ankle support needed for really rugged or really steep and slippery mountain trails, but I tried them on easy to moderate trails in all kinds of conditions and they held up great, and so did my feet in them. I was really really impressed, more than I thought I would be. Through all the days of hiking, no pain, no arthritis, no trouble walking, these are not just great recovery shoes, but great overall walking shoes.

    One other aspect that really impressed me was this: prior to my trip, I discovered a crack in the sole of the shoe, about an inch long, which appeared just a few days after I got them while I was just doing casual walking around the neighborhood. Perhaps I somehow stepped on something sharp that cut into the sole but I didn't know it because the soles are so thick and comfortable? I was disappointed about that and mentioned it to customer service when they emailed to see how I liked the shoes. They informed me that they guarantee their shoes, that if there is a problem in the first six months they can be returned for replacement. That seemed like a good plan, so I thought I would see how they held out during the hiking trip and maybe return them when I got home. However, part way through the trip, I checked the sole and the crack appeared to be smaller, only a half inch instead of an inch. At the end of the trip, I checked again--no crack at all! It seems the sole is made out of some kind of self-healing material. Walking on it had therefore made the crack better, not worse. Wow! Amazing! Needless to say, I won't be returning this pair, and will surely buy more in the future. I can't say enough good things about these shoes! In sum:

    Pros:

    1. These shoes have great arch support. They would be supportive for anyone, but I need especially good arch support with my plantar fasciitis, and these are more supportive than any other shoes or orthotics I have.

    2. Good overall support. These shoes really cradle your whole foot with both support and shock absorption. I broke a metatarsal in my foot a few months ago, and wanted to go hiking anyway despite residual arthritis from it, but I found I had no pain at all when wearing these shoes, even on the one day when we hiked a fairly steep trail over 8 miles.

    3. Self healing material in sole. There was a pretty good sized crack in the sole before we left for our trip, it slowly closed during the trip and was "healed" by the end of the trip ten days later. Impressive!

    4. These shoes fit well right out of box, there was no need to break them in, the uppers are flexible and well fitting so they stay on nicely without laces, they also retain their shape without stretching out even while conforming to your foot. The order info recommends ordering a half size up as they run a little small, so I did that; I usually wear an 8 1/2 so ordered a women's size 9 and they fit perfectely.

    5. Despite the snug fit, I never developed any blisters even after more than 40 miles of walking in them. I also didn't get sweaty feet when wearing them without socks, so the uppers are breathable, but they are also comfortable with peddies or regular socks

    6. These are supposed to be recovery shoes for the end of the trail, after you have been hiking, but I found they were good ON the trail for both regular walking and fairly challenging hiking, and I tested them in a variety of conditions, in sun, rain, mud, on rocks, in forest shade and in the open, wading in water and sand, and they held up well through all of it. They seem to have good grip and traction on damp trails, though I am not sure about really steep or slippery trails

    7. Not waterproof, but they dry quickly when they get wet

    8. You can wash them if they do get dirty, I hand washed them with dish soap and so they look almost like new and dont lose their shape when they get really wet.

    Cons:

    1. These shoes aren't cheap, and some folks might be put off by the price. However, I would like to point out that I have paid more for supportive official orthopedic-type walking shoes, but these feel better and work better for me, so they would be worth every penny!

    2. These are great casual outdoor shoes and I wouldn't hesitate to buy more in other colors! They are such good shoes, though, that I wish I had some like them to wear for work or formal occasions; but they don't really have a supportive shoe like this one in a nice dressy style. Maybe that will change, if they do come up with any I would buy them.

    So, overall, wonderful shoes! Highly recommended!

    Not impressed

    The only thing worth the $25 is the location if you want to go to east Glacier, bc there’s nothing else around, not even for boondocking. The space to set up was an adequate field, but not worth the extra money for a lake-ish view. I was right across from someone who was there a while and very bothered that there was no rules against tying up her husky all day in the heat, with no water. The facilities are old and disgusting. The shower wasn’t even draining and filling up with slime. There was dirt, bugs, broken tiles and food residuals in the sink, making it nauseating to brush teeth. The staff was nice enough, but clearly management is not interested in making their bathrooms and shower facilities welcoming. They know you don’t have many options, so why should they care?

    Don’t risk it

    Booked online at Chewing Black Bones two days ago and showed up yesterday around 2 pm and get checked in and directed to our site. We set up our tent and chairs and headed to Glacier NP. Upon our return we found our things gone and a new group at our site. At the office they told us they had a computer glitch and assigned other people (walk-ins) the site after we had set up. I guess they forgot we had just checked in that afternoon? They must have assumed our gear was from someone who was supposed to check out. So they broke down our camping gear and had it in the office. An inconvenience for sure but fixable! Except because they didn’t know how to pack up a hub (pop up) tent, they completely destroyed our$450 Gazelle T4 tent. They did offer to give cash compensation of$350 based on the Amazon price for a new tent, and they said they’d put us in a teepee for the two nights we had booked. However, Amazon won’t deliver the tent for two weeks, and that leaves us homeless for the next two weeks of our road trip. The tent is available 5 hours away at REI for $400 but they aren’t willing to give us the extra $50 to purchase it there. The teepee is open to the air with foot-long grass on the bottom and full of mosquitos. There were a few really nice employees but management was unwilling to make this right after destroying our personal property due to a“computer glitch.” We saw some not great reviews but figured it would be fine but now we’re out potentially thousands on this trip because they won’t make it right and help us replace the tent ASAP. Don’t risk it!

    Great tent sites!

    One bathroom and most of the shower house isn’t working. There’s an electric fence in front of trash cans to deter bears so campers put trash next to bins.

    large, full facilities, reasonable price compared to nearby options

    Very personable and friendly folks at the front desk. Compared to campgrounds in the national park, the price is reasonable. Plus, the fees benefit the indigenous community who owns the land. Not very private, but a quiet spot, easy to drive in and set up, full facilities (though showers are in poor condition) with lake access and only a short drive from the East Glacier NP entrance.

    Pretty terrible

    Don’t even try to use the showers, you may catch something. The spots are all exposed. It is beside a highway. Try and go somewhere else. You don’t stay in those tipis. It is on Blackfoot land, so fishing costs additional to the tribe.

    Awesome Campground!

    Stayed here one night while visiting Glacier. Loved that there was lots of space between sites - even though other people were around, we felt like we had our own spot and could spread out and enjoy the scenery. Campground is on water, so there's beautiful scenery, and also has very clean porta potties in addition to the main restroom, which was very convenient so that I didn't have to walk too far. Kind staff. Would definitely stay here again.

    Loved this authentic, friendly Campground

    This Campground is only 10 minutes away from the St Mary gate for Glacier National Park. It is run by the Blackfeet tribe and they do a great job. The sites with services were taken but we were happy to boondock at their site near the lake. They had laundry and some supplies but mostly we just loved the warm vibe of the place. Bathrooms were a little rough but easy to over look with ask the positives. Watched otters and loons in the lake and successfully avoided the bear!

    Choose Your Spot Carefully

    So, I booked online, a lakeside electric & I thought, from looking at the website, I’d have a view of the lake- not so, I had a view of aspens. Only one working bathhouse & upon arrival I was told only cold showers. There are sites with views- I’d call & ask before booking. Staff seemed friendly- delivered firewood to my site. Learned after the fact that there is wifi at the office. This campground is between the St. Mary and Many Glacier entrances of Glacier NP.

    Great Location

    Great location , beautiful lake views and quite. Water is cold but doable for swimming if you can get acclimated. Huge open campground. Available canoes and kayaks for rent. We loved this campground and believe this could be a 5 star but the bathrooms are just horrible specifically the showers. Only one bathroom/shower house is open. I don’t believe they are making any attempts at making it better. The tiles are busted up in one of the showers both of them are pretty gross. Ventilation is nonexistent they leave the door open and the mosquitoes where pretty bad. If they were to fix this issue it would easily be a 5 star location in our book. As a family we could oversee these issues and still enjoy ourselves but if your wife takes selfies everyday and post them to instagram and Facebook these bathrooms may send you packing.

    Large open spaces

    We were there end or season so only a few sites occupied. The restrooms were being shut down, so we decided to stay elsewhere. The whole complex was clean, well manicured and cool to see authentic native American culture. We are heading back to Glacier next year and know where we will stay now

    TNC: totally nasty camping!

    We checked in and found our site half underwater due to deluge night before. Drove around CG before going back to office and noticed ours was only site like this. "Josie" at front desk supposedly had no other FHU sites, only electric only, so we went back to ours site to figure out how to deal with. Trailer next ours decided to plug into our 1 and only outlet ( a 30 amp) with his 50 amp step down adapter. Called Josie who said this is the 2nd time today people have done this who DID not pay for electric and to unplug the people who weren't around. We did and plugged in, hooked up water, ran swere line, all while standing in 6-8 inches of disgusting water. Found out water pressure was ridiculously low ( 6-8 lbs) and bathrooms had no tp!!!! Lawn also doesn't seem to EVER be mowed. This place needs to step up there game!!!! Drop them God Sam!!!!!

    Quiet cabins

    There are five dry cabins. They are equipped with small fridges, microwaves, coffee pots and Tv connected to DVR. Air mattresses are provided but no bedding. There are several portapottys. The cabins and portapottys were clean. The air mattresses were uncomfortable and noisy. Bring your own sleeping pads. Nice lake access.

    Amazing location and an awesome campground.

    We camped here over Labor day weekend 2019. The campground was on Blackfeet tribal land and the hosts were accommodating and friendly. We had site 15 and were surprised that we had no close neighbors and ample room for three large tents, a canopy, and our SUV. Quiet, serene, and other words come to mind. Sunsets by the fire were almost hypnotic.

    St Mary/East Glacier KOA

    Family friendly, convenient, beautiful views

    This campground is located just outside the eastern entrance of Glacier National Park and the Going-To-The-Sun Road. They have primitive camping, basic cabins, deluxe cabins (with a bathroom), and RV hookup spaces so there is something here for everyone. It sits in a valley and has some beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, especially at sunrise and sunset. The KOA has a nice store with food, drinks, camping supplies, and souvenirs. There is also an outdoor pool on site which makes it easy to relax after a long day of hiking. It is towards the northern end of the eastern side of the park so if Going-To-The-Sun Road is closed, it can make for a long drive to the western side of the park, which is what happened to us. I would still highly recommend this site.
