The Cut Bank Campground is located on the east side of Glacier National Park and provides a sense of peace and quiet that may not be found in larger campgrounds within the park. The campground is accessed by a 5 mile dirt road off of highway 89. The campground is located among trees, providing shade and privacy for tent campers. RVs are not recommended due to the nature of the road and campground layout. Trailheads are near the campground for day hiking use or extended trips in the backcountry.
Welcome to your campsite on Duck Lake, famous for it's world class trout fishing and minutes from Glacier National Park! Enjoy the sounds of the loons around the firepit on the beach after a long day hiking in the park. Or catch sunrise over the lake while pulling in 18-20" Rainbow Trout. Get a few hours of work in with the stable and fast Starlink wifi. Have dinner at the picnic table under the string lights that decorate the back yard, patio, grill, and horseshoe pitch. Relax and enjoy.
Roughly a quarter acre, this property has an existing 1963 2bd/1ba camper (available through Airbnb as well) and three campsites with power and water. This site has is to the right of the existing camper and has a clear view of the lake.
You will have access to the yard, deck of the existing camper with gas grill and picnic table, and stairs down to the lake. You will not have access to the old dock (it doesn't reach the water) for safety reasons, inside the existing camper, or the shed on the property. If there are other campers on the property, you will not have access to their campsites.
Bears are often spotted in the area. While we have never seen one at the property, please do carry bear spray when outside. DO NOT leave food or trash outside. If you need bear spray, we can normally provide it with advance notice.
There is very limited cell service in the Duck Lake area and most areas east of Glacier National Park. Expect to only have service when using wifi. Verizon has slightly better service here than T-Mobile or AT&T.
Need wood for the firepit? Our property on the north shore has plenty of down trees and I'd be happy to meet you there with a chainsaw if our schedules permit.
$99 / night

Great park. Good sites, full hookup, propane available, the best WIFI we've ever gotten in a rv park. Run by a very nice, competent couple.

Started on our way home from glacier national park at midnight. We couldn’t find anything that was open (including hotels). Randomly stumbled upon this campsite at 2:00 am.
Luckily the sign read: IF YOU ARRIVE AFTER 9:00 PM PLEASE SET UP CAMP AND WE WILL ACCEPT PAYMENT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. THANK YOU.
Flat, grassy campground with some nice little trees for some shade. 6 tent spots (I’m sure they would accept more, plenty of room). Other spots for RVs. Nice clean bathrooms. Shower was good too, except the lack of curtains. Bring your own soap. They have a massive dumpster to leave all your trash in.

We spent two nights at this campground. Campground was quiet even for being in a railroad town. Hardly heard any train noise. Bathrooms appeared to get cleaned everyday. Sites have electric to them. Campground person came through every morning and talked to use. The local sheriffs office went through multiple times. Most water spickets did not seem to work so had to haul water from the spicket behind the RV dump station. This campground has issues with gophers and gopher holes. One camper got kicked out after six weeks of not paying while we were there according to the campground attendant. Lot cheaper than getting a hotel room at the cheapest hotel in town. Will stay again when we visit family in town.

We stayed in Many Glacier campground to the north before coming south to Two Medicine for two nights. Heads up: when we were on 89, there was a sign at the entrance to 49 saying that vehicles over 21 ft not advisable (or not permitted? Don’t remember). We looked at google maps and decided that 49 between 89 and the campground did look pretty winding and decided to add the 15 miles to our trip by going out to Browning, down 2, then back up 49 from the south. Not a huge deal, but it kind of sucked and would have been nice to know this in advance.
We stayed in 49C our first night and boy is that a terrible site for RVs. The sites are all these pull through curves, and some are on these gnarly hills. 49 was not only on one such a hill, but it was narrow as well, so we had a really hard time fitting. Luckily we had spent the day along Going To The Sun Road and had arrived fairly late and just needed to sleep and move to our next site the next morning. Day two we stayed in 83 B and this site was nice and flat and open, with a view of the lake. Basically, if you’re in an rv and flatness is important to you, I’d try and get a site along the edges. Those sites were flatter and wider than the sites in the center of the campground. No cell service anywhere here. Nice hikes directly from the campground. There are trash bins and plastic bottle and aluminum can recycling bins. Out on the road (not in the campground) there was also a propane cylinder recycling bin. At the St Mary’s visitor center there’s a standalone glass recycling bin in the parking lot. Dump station and potable water fill at the entrance to the campground. The first day we arrived there were sheep literally all over the campground, and we never saw them again after that.
GuideThe campground was mostly empty on July 3rd & 4th. A pay ($25 a night) station is on the honor system. Bathrooms and showers are old but in working order. A few sketchy looking campers here that look like from the movies breaking bad. If you know what I mean. Good for a night or two only.

Great in crowded campground 90+ sites and only maybe a dozen filled. Glacier NP was full. Primitive facilities but very clean and quiet
TravelerWe were staying at Two Medicine and found this campground. We drive through to see if it would be an option to not stress about jumping through the horrific reservation process to stay at Glacier. They have 95 spots, all lot of shade but also some sunny options if you have solar panels and require recharging. Porta-potties on,y and no running water, we carry 40 gallons so big deal for us. The staff was super nice and looks really laid back with very few people there. Next time I come to Glacier staying here.
LegendThis campground is located in Glacier National Park. The views of the lake and surrounding mountains from this campground are spectacular. Make sure you reserve early. No cell service
Ranger$25 a night. Restrooms and showers but did not need them. 30amp and water at some sites. Several spigots around the campground . Back in sites are small. Pull throughs are big rig friendly.
RangerWe got here on Sunday and the campground was empty except for one other camper. Lots of sites with electric some have water. Plenty of spigots otherwise around the grounds. Still $25 but a great deal. Glad the town supports it. Police patrol often.
TravelerI camp in my vehicle. The campground has great bathrooms and showers.

Right in town with all the basics and great owners!
GuideFirst come first serve. This was my favorite campground. From the different campsites to the sun setting over the lake, to the people I met. I've never seen so many camp cats on leashes. I think I counted 7 cats out with their owners enjoying nature. Plenty of restrooms, and lots of different loops to choose from.
At the time of my visit, there was heavy black bear activity. No soft side camping aloud. You had to stay within reach of your food to be able to quickly grab it and retreat into your vehicle if the black bear was in camp. There was a dead moose on the other side of the lake, so the hiking trail was closed. We did see the bear along the trees, but it didn't come into camp that night.
RangerThe views are gorgeous! It was a great last minute choice after not being able to explore going to the sun road. Reservations were fully booked but so glad I took a chance with two medicine. Was able to take a dip in the lake. One of the trails were off limits due to bear activity. The site was clean, the bathrooms were also clean, a bit outdated but still functional. I strolled in around 9:30 am and there were plenty of spots to choose from. They are first come first served. The rangers were really friendly, the camp host was knowledgeable.
TravelerSmall dispersed sites, half primitive half with electric. Clean porta potties available. Only 25$ a night, 50$ with electric. My wife and I found this campground to be beautiful and super convenient!
GuideNot the most scenic spot, but for a safe spot to sleep for the night it was perfect. $10 for tent camping, +$5 for the showers. Showers/bathrooms were very clean and the campground staff was very polite. No laundry for some reason, but they did have ice for $2 a bag. We camped here for two nights because it was so close and cheap, couldn’t really ask for much more. Would reccomend calling ahead for a spot, as they were pretty full the second night especially.
GuideJust the basics. Dirt lot with picnic tables and a small fire ring
GuideAfter not getting a reservation to Going to the Sun Road for the first day of our trip, we decided to go to the East Side of Glacier for the day where no reservations are required. We did a little research before heading to the campground for the night. It historically doesn’t fill all the way up. You cannot reserve a spot online— it’s just first come, first serve. We pulled in around 7:00pm and there were still quite a few spots. (For reference.. this was a Friday night on the last week of a July— so during busy season.) $20/night. Bathrooms are available. The lake is BEAUTIFUL. I highly recommend watching the sunrise from the benches around the lake. A colder night because of the proximity to water but a beautiful site. Would absolutely recommend to everyone visiting Glacier!!
ScoutVery awesome atmosphere. Rangers are friendly and very helpful. Close and short hikes if you have kids. Canoes, boats, kayaks for rent. Boat tours. Had an incredible time fishing. It’s awesome.
ScoutGreat price for the quality of amenities the hosts offered. Excellent bathrooms and showers. Kind of a bummer that you can’t have bonfires with wood, only gas fire pits allowed here.
TravelerThe views, oh my goodness, the views@ Arrived mid afternoon and found a site, there were a ton!to pick from! We had a nice view, close to bathroom and bear box. Only downside was that it rained on our first night and we woke up to our tent in about 3 inches of water. Thankfully there were sites still open so we could move. If there is rain in the forecast pick carefully. Was able to fish in the lake and it was convenient to have the store close by.
ScoutThis campground was amazing! very chill and friendly staff. Repairs on electric mentioned in previous reviews is finished! $25 for non electric sites and $45 for electric. still no water or bathrooms but clean porta potty’s provided. We stayed in our camper at a non electric site (to save $$) and they allowed us to run our generator. Yes the road there is bumpy but our camper did just fine just drive slow. Very quick drive to the park! also please visit 2medicine grill just down the road on the way there for THE BEST breakfast ever!!! there was a bear near camp one of the nights and the staff was on top of the situation, monitoring and making sure we were safe. highly recommend!

It's a nice place, I got pleasure
GuideWe camped here for 1 week at the end of July. The views were absolutely breathtaking. We rolled in around 5:30 AM and waited to find a good site where someone was packing up. We finally found a location close to the water so the kids could easily access and cool off. It was right next to a parking area for the water but it really wasn’t too bad. The campsite was fairly private. We were there mostly at night anyways and everyone seemed to respect the quiet time hours. Would definitely camp here again.

The RV sites all had electric hookups and they had good space between each. Not a lot of shade, though. Would be nice if there were walkways down to the water so you didn't have to beat through the trees and shrubbery. There is a playground for kids. The lake has lots of open shoreline. There is tons of local traffic. A lot of the same vehicles that just drive through 10-20 times a day. It's a bit annoying. Lastly, they do have port-a-potties around the grounds but they are all riddled with large spiders and generally out of TP.
GuideTraveling Hwy 2, we were looking for a quiet spot. Clean bathrooms with showers, electrical hook up and water near by. “Lake” is small and silty. Perfect spot for a good night sleep, though. $25
ScoutThis is a clean respectable camping area. No privacy between sites, but they are level and a good deal for $25/night. Our site had electric hookups with water nearby. I don't think there was a camphost. Some large pull throughs and smaller back ins. Playfields are nearby and we heard the happy sound of kids playing in the background. Bathroom/showers were basic but clean.
