"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."
"Yes the road there is bumpy but our camper did just fine just drive slow. Very quick drive to the park!"

"The campground is about as close as you can get to the east entrance of Glacier NP! The views from our site were amazing."
"I noticed from walking around not all have a grill, so if that's important to you I'd specifically ask during reservations."

"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."
"Great place tucked away from the road. Sites are smaller. Place was clear even the showers. Hot water in the morning not so much at night."
"We found a nice spot close to the challenge cabin up in Summit that was close to the creek. I the area was big enough for multiple people to camp in."
"It’s very close to the West entrance to Glacier National Park. We found fun things to do in nearby Hungry Horse, CowY, and Columbia Falls."
"Campground was relatively quiet despite its close proximity to the highway. Everything was very clean and organized. Camp host was friendly."

GuideMontana 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!!
GuideWe loved this campground. The staff were helpful and they had a variety of sites. We had an asphalt pad, but some were gravel. There were tent spaces as well. The store was nicely stocked and the bathrooms were typical. There were games for the kids and a sauna for the adults. It’s very close to the West entrance to Glacier National Park. We found fun things to do in nearby Hungry Horse, CowY, and Columbia Falls.
GuideGreat campground nestled in lodgepole pines. Campground was relatively quiet despite its close proximity to the highway. Everything was very clean and organized. Camp host was friendly. It is very close to the West entrance of Glacier National Park. If you need a day to relax outside of the park there are plenty of fun activities for the kids to do. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone.
GuideThis 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!
TravelerThe campground is about as close as you can get to the east entrance of Glacier NP! The views from our site were amazing. The RV sites are on top of a hill and it got very windy when the Chinook winds hit with gusts up to 65 mph. The sites are a bit close together but we were expecting that in a place like Glacier.
The campground also has a laundromat and bathroom/showers. Propane fill was $4/gal. You shouldn't count on any sort of internet while you're there though. Verizon and T-Mobile will say full bars of 4G but the data speeds are non existant. The campground has wifi but it is equally slow.
Also note that there are only 2 gas stations in St Mary and are both VERY expensive ($6/gal in Aug 2022) so we planned around it and either filled up in Browning or West Glacier.
LegendWhether you're needing a tent space, are car camping, or have an RV/camper, Johnson's of St Mary's has you covered. No matter your plans, schedule 1 meal of your stay to check out the cafe, which has some excellent food, decor, and family history.
The tent sites come with a picnic table and a fire pit. I noticed from walking around not all have a grill, so if that's important to you I'd specifically ask during reservations.
The grounds are located very close to the national park, and given how quickly the national park campgrounds reserve each year, having this oprtion close by and available was a life saver.
If you're looking to do some backcountry in the park but don't have a permit, you are well advised to show up to the backcountry offices as early as possible, and this place is nearby a station, so I liked having this option for arriving late the night before with a guaranteed spot. It was nice to be able to fill up the water bladder with potable water before all the excursions as well.
It's got token operated showers, and you get 1token/person/day with your reservation, which should be fine. Showers last 6 minutes. From the offices you can also purchase ice and firewood.
WiFi is free at the office and cafe, and available for a fee at your campgrounds. I had full bars of service at my site. It will take you 5 minutes to get to the National Park entrance, gas stations are down the road. Views from the grounds are OK, and shade is plentiful.
TravelerGreat place tucked away from the road. Sites are smaller. Place was clear even the showers. Hot water in the morning not so much at night. If you plan to spend the days in the park this is great spot. Grocery store in 8-10 min drive west into town.
TravelerThis campground is right outside the Two Medicine entrance to Glacier National Park, just as you turn off of Highway 49 onto Two Medicine Rd. It is operated by members of the Blackfeet Tribe on their ancestral land and the hosts were friendly and welcoming. When we stayed there, all the campgrounds in the park were overflowing and there were long lines at 6:30 am for first-come sites, but this campground was basically empty. We found ourselves a lovely site next to a creek that flows into the Two Medicine Reservoir, it was quiet and peaceful and just isolated enough to feel private without feeling dangerous. The site was pretty well maintained, although there was some broken glass to be aware of. The portapotties were clean and well maintained, and while there appeared to be only one spot for water, it too was clean and tasted great. While we didn't see any wildlife while we were there, (old) bear scat was near our site. It is bear country, after all, so make sure to keep your food in your car and only burn wood in the firepits (if burning is allowed.) This was by far the best campground both in and out of the park that we found near Glacier.
ScoutThat’s the only reason to stay here. Unkept sites , weeds knee high. Up on hill beautiful view if you get one facing that way. Very tight. 30 Amp only. Very dusty hard to sit outside. People drive to fast. Kick up dust. The KOA looks better. Very close to st Mary entrance
