1 campground with availability next weekend
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.

TravelerWe camped in October so there was no access to water. No electricity for the campsites, but for $20 by Glacier it was perfect. 5 min from the visitor center. Sites are pull thru but pretty un-level so bring lots of stuff to level. We camped with our 27ft. travel trailer and was perfect.

If you are planning an epic trip to explore Glacier National Park, your choice of home base can make or break your trip logistics. We stayed four nights at Moose Creek RV Resort in West Glacier, Montana, and it served as the ultimate launchpad for exploring every corner of this iconic national park.
Location & West Glacier Access
When visiting Glacier, proximity to the park gates is everything. Moose Creek is super close and remarkably convenient to the West Glacier entrance, allowing you to beat the morning rush onto Going-to-the-Sun Road without spending hours in transit beforehand. (Still arrive early at park entrance!)
Campground Vibe, Grounds & Amenities
The park has that authentic, rustic Montana feel while providing all the modern comforts you need after long days on the trail:
Starlink Performance Under the Pines
For RVers who work remotely or rely on satellite internet like we do, camping under heavy pine canopies can often be a connectivity nightmare. However, even with dense pine trees surrounding our site, our Starlink dish locked onto signal and worked reliably throughout our entire four-night stay—a massive plus for staying connected in the Montana backcountry.
Glacier Park Routes & A Must-Do Tow-Vehicle Loop
During our four days, we were able to make the jaw-dropping drive across the Going-to-the-Sun Road twice round-trip, plus an additional one-way trek on our final day.
For your tow vehicle or passenger car, here is a scenic driving loop you should not miss:
The Hitched4fun Verdict
Moose Creek RV Resort is everything a national park gateway camp should be: clean, quiet, scenic, and packed with practical amenities that make traveling easy. Whether you are looking for reliable Starlink connectivity under the pines or quick access to the best drives in North America, this park delivers. We highly recommend it to anyone heading into Big Sky Country!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars— Highly Recommended by the Hitched4fun.com crew!
GuideWe usually use KOAs for full hook ups, showers and laundry this KOA is probably the nicest and cleanest one I have been in. There are trees which most are in flat fields. I think 4 or 5 pools which are heated because it is now October and kids were in the pool. It has a nice store. The ice cream shop and restaurant are closed. The thing I like is it has grass between sites so my dogs can pee. It also has 2 dog runs a walking path it is outstanding if you like clamping to the fullest. It also has many cottages. Some sites also have their own patio and gas grills. The ladies in the office are the nicest people. I would stay again.
GuideWe stayed in site A27 for 5 nights. The site was great other than the auto headlights as we were across from the only 2 showers in the campground. There was plenty of room for our 17’ trailer and truck and a large tent area and sitting area. Deer came through often and the squirrels were entertaining. We could walk to the visitor center and village. The time of year was great. GoingToTheSun road was fine warning but we had to arrive at Logan Pass at 7 pm to get parking. Great paths all attorneys and access to the lake. It was a good first experience.
RangerRight outside of town, down a pretty easy road to get to the spots. Good cell signal.
ScoutAdvertised starting at $38, we paid $56 for a spot in a meadow with a fire ring, not even a picnic table. No WIFI, no reception,bathroom was old and dirty along with waiting line for use of toilet. Location was great property was nice but you don’t get much for your money. I would not recommend.
GuideNice spot close to glacier national park. Decent service and relatively flat. There was lots of gunfire though up until sundown.
GuideDecent low key commercial campground...pull through sites...full hook up...fairly priced...nice location...a little tough to see entrance in the dark....Highly recommended especially for folks like us that need a decent place to base out of.....easy check in...online reservation.....friendly onsite owner..would stay again
GuideDecent commercial campground....close to East entrance to GLACIER NP...nothing overtly fancy but clean restrooms, showers...friendly staff..onsite restaurant
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.
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.
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.
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.
