Best RV Parks & Resorts near Babb, MT

Several RV parks near Babb offer varying levels of hookups and amenities for travelers visiting Glacier National Park. Heart of Glacier RV Park provides both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical hookups, water, and sewer connections on level gravel sites. Johnson's Campground & RV Park in St. Mary operates seasonally from May through October with full hookup sites. "While not perfect, we ended up staying 6 nights. We loved how convenient it was to St. Mary (1 block) and the Many Glaciers road turnoff at Babb (8 miles)," noted one visitor. East Side Glacier Park accommodates big rigs with both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service, though some sites have challenging sewer connections positioned several inches above ground level.

Within 30 miles of Babb, dump stations and potable water fill locations can be found at the entrance to Glacier National Park, though seasonal maintenance sometimes affects availability. Cell service varies dramatically throughout the region, with most RV parks offering limited connectivity—some provide WiFi hotspots near their office buildings to compensate. Pet-friendly policies are standard at most parks, though size and breed restrictions may apply. During peak summer months, advance reservations are essential, especially for larger rigs requiring pull-through sites. Winter access becomes significantly limited as most facilities close between mid-October and early May due to harsh weather conditions.

    St Mary Campground - Glacier National Park — Glacier National Park

    Dry Camping Surrounded by Magnificent Mountains

    Three large loops, some with modest shade, others in the wide open (the latter type with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains).  All a bit scruffy looking, but serviceable.  Low on amenities (no electricity, water faucets scattered about) and relatively tight pull-through spaces, but all have a fire ring and picnic table.  Well patrolled by rangers, with a daily evening program in the summer. As others have mentioned, timed entry tickets are not needed at the St. Mary entrance to the park, so you can head into the park any time you like.  Added bonus: if you are camping with a travel trailer (and thus not able to drive the Going-to-the-Sun road because of length limitations), you are allowed to park your trailer in the the RV section of the St. Mary Visitor Center parking lot for the day, and drive in with your car alone.  We were there in late June/early July: don't know if this option is  available when the very high season hits in later July and August.

    Fish Creek Campground — Glacier National Park

    Great sites, good location

    Fish Creek campground within Glacier National Park is a great place to stay on the west side of the park. It’s within a short walk to beautiful Lake McDonald. There are no electrical or water hookups available, but there is a dump station on the way out. The bathrooms have clean flush toilets and sinks, but no soap provided. Loop A showers have great water pressure and hot water. There are plenty of water spigots throughout the campground. There are several bear proof food storage sites as well. The Fish Creek amphitheater hosts fantastic ranger talks almost every night during the summer. Most if not all of the sites in loop A are pull through, but they can be very tight for a mid size travel trailer. During our stay sit was quiet and peaceful even though every site was full. Excellent National Park campground!

    Glacier Meadow RV Park

    The Meadows

    We booked this campgrounds so we could visit Glacier National Park. If that is your intent you need to get Go to the Sun Highway access tickets way in advance. We got luck and were able to visit the Highway by taking the bus trip.

    The campground is about 45 minutes from the Going to the Sun Highway. It is a beautiful drive.

    The campgrounds is on a meadow. It is very clean and well carried for. The showers are hot, sometimes too hot. 😃 Manager was very informative. It is a quiet campgrounds with a pleasant mix of seniors and families.

    My campsite, number 34, has water, 30 Amp, 50 Amp, fire pit, and a picnic table. There is lots of room to park additional vehicles.

    The only issue is there is no cellular service unless you use there Verizon booster in the pavilion. The wifi is weak. I have a booster which gives me enough wifi to check my phone and watch movies. I found nothing else to complain about.

    Heart of Glacier RV Park & Cabins

    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.

    Sundance Campground & RV Park

    Lots to be desired

    I reserved a site at Sundance when I couldn't find any other campgrounds close to Glacier National Park that had availability for our 40 ft Super C. It was reasonable in price compared to others, but...

    First the pros:

    1. We had a pull through site.
    2. Plenty of space for our towed Jeep to park.
    3. Beautiful trees and wild huckleberry bushes provided a peaceful setting and some privacy.
    4. It is minutes from the West Glacier entrance.

    Cons:

    1. No sewer at the sites. There is a dump station you can use on the way out.
    2. The sites are level, but just barely.
    3. Instead of a sturdy dumpster or bear-proof receptacles, there are old fashioned galvanized cans with unattached lids. All of them were completely full the three days we were there.
    4. The dog run is unkempt and has no doggie bags or even a garbage can for waste.
    5. Although the trees are nice, they are so close to the parking area that we were unable to extend our awning.
    6. The laundry room has 2 washers and 2 dryers, but only one of each works.
    7. The whole place is terribly unkempt. "Rustic" is being generous. "Junky and trashy" is more accurate.

    It is too bad that the owner, who was very nice but obviously trying to run this place all by himself, appears to have given up trying to make a nice place. There are junk cars and RVs surrounding the campground and I don't think a weed whacker has been used for years.

    I would have been okay with paying $50 a night for this place, not $90.

    Glacier Campground

    Laid Back Wooded Park Very Close to Glacier

    Lots of amenities, friendly staff, good cell service, and very close to Glacier NP. Only reason not 5 stars is the roads are a bit tight getting into sites. Not big rig friendly.

    West Glacier RV & Cabin Resort

    West Glacier RV Park

    This park is all about location and you pay a premium for that. FHU pull through sites, pretty good wifi and no OTA TV or cable for the times not in GNP. All facilities are clean and functional. Site layout is fair with the power pedestal way forward so it's either park your tow vehicle behind your trailer or have a lot of length for all your connections. Camp side is facing west so it's pretty hot in the afternoon sun.


Guide to Babb

The Babb area sits at approximately 4,300 feet elevation at the eastern edge of Glacier National Park, where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains. Summer temperatures range from 40-80°F with occasional thunderstorms, while winter brings sub-zero temperatures and significant snowfall. Camping facilities near Babb offer varying levels of accessibility to Many Glacier, with most sites operating seasonally from late May through September.

What to do

Hiking to Swift Current Lake: Just 8 miles from Babb on the Many Glaciers road, visitors can access stunning alpine lake views. "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!" notes a visitor at Heart of Glacier RV Park & Cabins.

Fishing at Hungry Horse Reservoir: The reservoir offers excellent fishing opportunities about 45 minutes from West Glacier. "Lid Creek is 15 miles off U.S. 2 on a very winding but paved road. The lake, Salish Mountains and Montana's big sky are all front and center here," explains a camper at Lid Creek Campground.

Steak dinner in Babb: The limited dining options in Babb include exceptional steaks at the local restaurant. "If you like steak, Cattlemen in Babb (the only rest.) makes the best steak and lamb per hubby. Avoid the Salmon, though," recommends a camper from Heart of Glacier RV Park.

What campers like

Mountain views from campsites: Many RV parks near Babb feature panoramic mountain vistas. "Heart of Glacier RV park had an awesome view of Gun-site ridge. Its just awesome to wake up in the mornings, walkout side and see Gun-site Ridge," notes a visitor at Heart of Glacier RV Park.

Privacy in tent camping areas: Some campgrounds offer more secluded tent sites compared to RV sections. A visitor at Johnson's Campground & RV Park commented, "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 whereas the RVs were more in the open."

Natural settings at smaller parks: Less developed campgrounds maintain native vegetation and wildlife viewing opportunities. "This park is all about location and you pay a premium for that. FHU pull through sites, pretty good wifi and no OTA TV or cable for the times not in GNP," notes a visitor at West Glacier RV & Cabin Resort.

What you should know

Road conditions to camping areas: Some campgrounds require navigating unpaved or challenging roads. "The road down to the campground is gravel, lots of tight turns but generally in good shape; we did just fine towing our 30 ft travel trailer. Double-check the campsite length when you reserve - some sites are very short," advises a Lid Creek Campground visitor.

Wildlife precautions: Bear activity requires proper food storage at all campgrounds. "There are bear-proof food boxes - there are definitely bears in the area. Keep pets close by and please store food in the storage boxes," warns a camper at Lid Creek Campground.
