2 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Several cabin accommodations surround Coram, Montana, providing convenient access to Glacier National Park. West Glacier KOA Resort offers deluxe cabin lodges with partial kitchens, bathrooms, and linens included. Glacier Campground features cabin units with mini-fridges and microwaves. "The cabins are rustic (think summer camp) but clean. They have very limited outlets! One in the main room, used for the fridge and fan, and one in the bathroom, so don't plan on charging your devices after being in the woods camping!" North American RV Park & Yurt Village and Mountain Meadow RV Park also maintain cabin options with varying amenities. Lake Five Resort provides cabins directly on the lakeshore, some with bathrooms and kitchens.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Basic cabins typically include beds with limited furnishings, while deluxe options feature bathrooms, kitchenettes, and climate control. Most properties require advance reservations, especially during peak summer months from May through September. Pet policies vary by location, with many cabins being pet-friendly. A visitor noted that one property "put us up in one of their luxury full cabins" when they experienced an overbooking situation, highlighting the range of accommodation types available. KOA cabins often include additional amenities like private patios, picnic tables, and fire rings.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. As one guest advised, "Make sure you bring towels—while there are sheets on the bed, there are no bath towels." Kitchen facilities vary widely, from no cooking facilities to full kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves. Many cabin sites include outdoor fire rings and picnic tables for cooking and dining. General stores at West Glacier KOA, Glacier Campground, and other locations stock basic provisions, firewood, and ice. Most cabin locations are within 15-30 minutes of grocery stores in Columbia Falls for more extensive supplies.
"The real attraction is Glacier National Park. I was lucky enough to visit when Going to the Sun Road was closed to cars and we could ride our bikes to the top. It was the highlight of my trip."
"Level, campground was convenient to the visitor center(.5miles) and Apgar village(1 mile), and McDonald Lake. Bathrooms convenient but old and not as nice."

"I have only been to a handful but they are way too managed and the stereotypical "glamping" situation."
"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."
"Glacier Campground is just a few miles outside of the west entrance of Glacier National Park. The campground is clean, and the hosts are friendly."
"I was driving down from Alberta and didn’t get to the East entrance of the park until about 3:30."
from $45 - $120 / night
"We ended up doing 2 nights at the bed and breakfast and 1 night at one of the campsites. The bed and breakfast was fantastic; nice clean rooms and shower and a tasty breakfast."
"At one time, I could see this might have been the KOA "back in the day" playground. Common areas. Fresh baked goods."
"Pet friendly! Kid friendly! Adult friendly! Great dog park, kids area ok, walking distance to store. Driving (15 min) to Glacier National Park. Restaurants close, wonderful fire pits!"
"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."
from $60 - $80 / night
"Sites are shaded and fairly private. Bathroom/showers are some of the best I’ve ever seen. Very nice. WiFi is poor due to area/tree cover but WiFi works near the main building."
"Spacious campsites nestled in the trees with full hookups or electric and water only. Firepits and picnic tables gives you the authentic camping feel."
"This is a nice, new RV and Cabin park built in 2019. The sites are fully equipped."
"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."
from $105 / night
"We stayed in a cabin at Lake Five 28 years ago so when planning this trip, we decided to stay again particularly since it put us as close to the campground in Glacier NP that we hoped to snag a site at"
"As with most of the parks in this area, it is well established. There are 3 levels of pricing. Hookups on the lake. Hookups in the tree covered area not on the lake and no services. w/e only."
Available next weekend
from $70 - $363 / night
"Nice gravel and grass area with picnic table. Check in was very easy and friendly! I mistakenly booked us and showed up a day early and they were able to accommodate us with no hassle."
"Easy in/out, clean, spotless bathrooms/showers. Close quarters, especially if you and your neighbor have slide outs. Has an RV parts store, helpful!"
from $100 - $180 / night
"This was such a beautiful campground filled with rustic natural beauty. What you’re not going to find here: nearly manicured lawns, pretension, or resort-like amenities."
"The sites are in trees with dirt or grass parking areas. Some sites are level, some will require a little work."
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.
RangerReviewed by: The Crew at Hitched4fun.com
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.
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.
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
GuideWe really enjoyed this campground, especially the welcome center and The Sunflower cafe. There's only one dump site on the way out but it wasn't busy so that was easy. It's in the woods but our site wasn't difficult to level. It felt private and quiet even with folks right next to us. It is 3 miles from the Apgar entrance but took us 35 minutes with traffic, so prepare for that.
LegendWe stayed here overnight after Labor Day. They were nice and let us leave our bikes locked up before we could check in so we could fold our bike rack and not violate the 21’ length limit on Going to the Sun road. But when we came back to check in the person checking us in was not so nice or welcoming. Maybe it is end of season tiredness, but for the price, I would have liked a warmer welcome. Typical KOA amenities. Main bathrooms attached to the office very good with nice hot showers. Pretty views of Glacier mountains from the site we were in. We’d come back and hope that the staff would be more welcoming.
Camping cabins near Coram, Montana provide convenient access to Glacier National Park with most locations less than 15 minutes from the West Entrance. At an elevation of 3,215 feet, Coram experiences warm summer days with temperatures averaging 75-85°F and cool evenings that can drop into the 40s. The surrounding Flathead National Forest creates a buffer zone that offers additional camping opportunities beyond the park boundaries.
Kayak on Lake Five: Lake Five Resort offers direct lake access with kayak rentals available on-site. "Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains were in site #6, extra landscaping and they are so private and nicely cared for," reports one Lake Five Resort visitor. The lake provides a refreshing swimming spot with a diving platform.
Bike the area trails: Several campgrounds offer bicycle rentals or easy access to trails. "They also rent ebikes at super reasonable rates," notes a guest at Moose Creek RV Resort and Bed & Breakfast. A bike path runs for miles in front of some properties, making car-free exploration possible.
Visit the Geotourism Center: Located near Glacier Campground, the "Crown of the Continent" Geotourism and Education Center offers environmental and geography education exhibits. Visitors can "sign up for outdoor adventures like horseback riding, fly fishing, llama trekking and more" while learning about local ecology.
Private wooded sites: Mountain Meadow RV Park offers secluded camping spots that feel removed from crowds. "We lucked out with site #50 though, it was very secluded and the picnic firepit area was like our own little cubby in the woods," notes a visitor to Mountain Meadow RV Park and Cabins. The campground maintains wooded sites with natural landscaping.
Community gatherings: Many campgrounds organize evening social events. "They light a group campfire at 7 PM every night for great conversations about what folks saw each day," explains a camper at West Glacier RV & Cabin Resort. Some properties also feature "live music available each night in a very open inviting area that looks out at the mountains."
Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness receives consistent praise across most properties. "The bathrooms/showers are some of the best I've ever seen. Very nice," reports a repeat visitor to Mountain Meadow RV Park. Most cabin accommodations include access to shared shower facilities regardless of whether the cabin has its own bathroom.
Reservation timing: Peak season (June-August) requires booking 6-9 months in advance for cabin accommodations. Shoulder season (May and September) offers more availability and lower rates while still providing access to most park features.
Train noise considerations: Railroad tracks run through the area affecting multiple campgrounds. "Every park has the same issue. Ear plugs and or white noise machine and you are all good," advises a guest at Beargrass Lodging & RV Resort. Sites farther from the tracks experience less disruption.
Outlet limitations: Many basic cabins have minimal electrical outlets. One visitor notes, "They have very limited outlets! One in the main room, used for the fridge and fan, and one in the bathroom, so don't plan on charging your devices after being in the woods camping!" Bring power strips if you have multiple devices.
Wildlife precautions: Some properties feature electric fencing for protection. "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."
Pool access options: Several properties offer swimming pools for children. "There is an adult pool, family pool and hot tubs!" notes a repeat visitor to West Glacier KOA Resort. The campground also features "a playground is nice. Fun to have dinner and ice cream one night. Cool activities for kids and adults."
Look for family-friendly amenities: Properties vary significantly in their kid-focused offerings. "There is a store and other facilities onsite... There is a playground. Clean restrooms with showers," reports a visitor to Sundance Campground. Compare amenities when booking to ensure appropriate entertainment options.
Consider cabin size for larger groups: Family-sized cabins typically accommodate 4-6 people. "Cabins 1 and 2 are the best with full lake views but these are larger cabins and better suited for families," notes a Lake Five Resort guest. Larger units often include more storage space and separated sleeping areas.
Check hookup locations: Some campgrounds have unusual utility arrangements. "Watch out for electric hookup, we were all set up and couldn't close out hatches due to large solar top on electric pole," warns an RVer at West Glacier RV & Cabin Resort. Another visitor notes "the hookups are fairly close to the front of the site" at some properties.
Extend your hoses: Be prepared with extra connection equipment. "Some of the sewer inlet locations are a bit wonky... Bring extra sewer hose, 90 degree elbows, and a sewer grommet or 'donut' to help with connecting," advises an RVer at Lake Five Resort who appreciated the historic nature of the property.
Consider site dimensions carefully: Many RV sites have specific limitations. "The sites are level, but just barely," notes a visitor with a 40-foot vehicle. Others mention "We had a pull through site that was plenty big for our 32" TT. Utilities were well placed and worked well."
