    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 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.

    Glacier Campground

    West Glacier

    All the camp sites have Electric, and water hookups. Some have sewage as well.

    There is a dump station, and propane fill up on site. It’s $25 to dump. The sunset cafe in the campground is is nice and has covered and out door seating. The food was lovely.

    They have a small gift shop/store on site too!

    Make sure you bring an extension cord to hook up your electric just in case you have a short standard cord on your camper.

    There are several shower/bathroom station through the campground and kept very clean.

    The campground is about a mile away from the main entrance to Glacier Park (West Entrance)

    Overall, we loved our stay and will be back!


Guide to Bigfork

Glamping near Bigfork, Montana offers visitors convenient access to both Glacier National Park and Flathead Lake, Montana's largest freshwater lake at 197 square miles. The area sits at approximately 3,000 feet elevation in the northern Rocky Mountains, characterized by cool nights even during summer months when temperatures can fluctuate 30-40 degrees between day and night. Winter camping options remain limited with most facilities closing after Labor Day due to snowfall potential starting in October.

What to do

Hiking from campgrounds: At Glacier Campground, located just outside the West entrance of the park, campers find accessible trails for all skill levels. "There are hiking trails surrounding the campground, with a public beach on Swan Lake just half a mile away," notes one reviewer. This location provides an ideal base for exploration without the crowds.

Water activities at Flathead Lake: Big Arm State Unit features direct lake access with stunning views of Wild Horse Island. "If you're looking to sleep at the lake, this spot can't be beat. The sites are close together but everyone has enough space," shares a visitor. The park offers opportunities for swimming, fishing and kayaking directly from campsites.

Wildlife viewing excursions: West Glacier KOA Resort features educational programs about local wildlife. "My wife really enjoyed the fact that it had an electric fence around the perimeter to try and preclude wildlife from entering the park area. It keeps everything out, so you won't see deer walking through your campsite," explains one camper who appreciated the safety aspect.

What campers like

Quiet retreat settings: Murray Bay Campground offers remarkable seclusion despite being relatively close to Glacier. "Midweek is good. Like 5 other campers there. I stayed in spot 12, awesome," reports a visitor who appreciated the tranquility. The campground provides primitive facilities with vault toilets and limited amenities.

Alternative glamping options: While yurts get mentioned frequently, there are also distinctive cabins worth considering. "Grinnell Cabin is set on the eastern edge of the campground and on the edge of a beautiful meadow. The full moon rose over the meadow and the sunrise was magical the next morning," describes a visitor to Rocky Mountain Hi Campground.

Community atmosphere: Many campgrounds foster social connections. "There's live music, pool, ice cream shoppe, Gaga ball, hiking trails and so much more," explains a visitor about the family-friendly environment at West Glacier KOA Resort. This proves particularly valuable for solo travelers or those seeking to meet fellow outdoor enthusiasts.

What you should know

Road conditions vary significantly: Some campgrounds require patience to reach. "The road to get there was so rough that we were afraid we were going to pop a tire getting there," warns a visitor about Murray Bay Campground. Four-wheel drive vehicles handle these roads more comfortably.

Reservation requirements: Campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. A visitor to Moose Creek RV Resort advises, "We chose blindly online and was moved to a better site once we got there. They also offer Military and First Responder discounts."

Varying levels of privacy: Site layouts differ dramatically between campgrounds. "Our site is one of the better ones. We have a separate fire pit area, with kind of a split level effect," notes a camper at Glacier Campground, highlighting the importance of researching specific site numbers when booking.

Tips for camping with families

Look for dedicated play areas: Children need entertainment options between outings. "Great place to camp with children because of the large, grassy playground and swimming area. Showers and a laundry are on site," recommends a visitor to Rocky Mountain Hi Campground about family-friendly amenities.

Consider noise factors: Highway proximity affects some campgrounds. At La Salle RV Park, a visitor notes, "While there's nothing stand-outish about the tent area, at least it's furthest from the highway, tree-lined and secluded from the RVs." Request sites farther from main roads when traveling with light sleepers.

Check shower facilities: After outdoor adventures, clean facilities become essential. "The bathrooms/showers were seriously palatial and very tidy/clean, way better than many hotels I've stayed at," reports a La Salle RV Park visitor, noting the importance of quality facilities when camping with children.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: At Big Arm State Unit, an RVer advises, "Nice campground, a bit tight if you are a bigger rig but doable in the right spot, 2-3 bars of AT&T 5g, good enough to work, and quite all night."

Hookup placement matters: Bring extension cords and hoses. "Make sure you bring an extension cord to hook up your electric just in case you have a short standard cord on your camper," suggests a visitor to Glacier Campground, pointing out a common oversight among newer RVers.

Consider seasonal timing: Rollins RV Park offers extended season options. "We enjoyed our stay so much that we ended up asking if they could extend their service past October 1st and they said YES!" shares a pleased camper, demonstrating flexibility some parks offer during shoulder seasons when most facilities close.
