"The park is situated on the east side of Glacier National Park - the perfect launch site for a visit to the Park and yeah incredible scenery."
"If you need a nice quiet car-campery campground at Glacier NP that is secluded, you can't go wrong with Cut Bank."
"This is a dirt entrance to Glacier National Park. The campground is small (14 sites) and only provide a vault toilet."
TravelerThe campground is very beautiful located by Two Medicine Lake and between large mountains. There are many campsites which offer different views and allow for different types of campers (rvs, cars, walk-ins). The sites had water spickets, dumpsters, and bear boxes near by, but not all sites have them. If you use a tent be prepared to not put your anchoring spikes in to hold the tent down as there is a thick rock layer just under a thin layer of dirt. Another downside to the campground is the road to get there is very rough. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. There was a park ranger who held camp gatherings which was a fun option to have. The wife and I really enjoyed utilizing the numerous trails around the campground. One of our favorite campgrounds we have gone to!
RangerCompared to other campgrounds in Glacier, Two Med is quiet and low key. Definitely more of a chill vibe, read: no one here was partying loudly. We stayed in a reserved site that is designated back country as we finished a back country trip with the last night at Two Medicine, where we parked our car. Many people who use this site are not on a loop, but on the many are on the CDT and use this as a great place to bathe (the lake) and see a few humans. This site is tent only, designated with wood pilings and has small rocks/sand as the floor - it was very hard as no rain lately and difficult to get in tent stakes. It fits a large tent - maybe 12'? We used our car as our 'bear box', be very bear aware here and use clean camping. Black and Brown bears can frequent the area. Bathrooms clean, no showers (but there is that nice lake!) The boat ride across the lake is worth it for the commentary and views, make advance reservations.
ScoutIf you need a nice quiet car-campery campground at Glacier NP that is secluded, you can't go wrong with Cut Bank. It's a short drive away from the popular Going-to-the-Sun-Road allowing escape from busy roads and fellow tourists. The Cut Bank Creek drainage is also a fantastic place to embark on some great hiking and it provides some of the best of Montana's Rocky Mountain Front scenery and wildlife viewing. Grizzly bears are dense in this drainage and seeing a track on the trail in the morning gives you that feeling of true wildness we all yearn for. Don't overlook this often overlooked gem in Glacier NP.
RangerThis is a dirt entrance to Glacier National Park. The campground is small (14 sites) and only provide a vault toilet. Here is the Glacier that is a little bit wild, a little bit remote and everything I ever wanted from the Park. After years of the Going-to-the-Sun I finally found the Cut Bank entrance and it's perfect to me. Not for RVs.
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.
LegendPSA: The road into the campground is rough and the bridge you have to cross is equally as rough. S.L.O.W. We rode through today looking for a place for a couple of nights. There was only 1 camper in the entire CG. There was a sign posted saying there were no services. Also, no alcohol was allowed.. There was electrical boxes and water spickets. One of the previous reviews stated they were trying to get then repaired, though. We chose to see if Two Medicine has any sites. Thankfully, we found a beautiful one on the lake.
GuideTwo Medicene Campround, which is located in the Glacier National Park is a beautiful place to stay! You honestly can't go wrong with any campgrounds in the National Park. I would say this campground is definitely less busy then other sites in the Galcier park. I went mid August and didn't have a problem finding a campsite. You can't call ahead of time and make reservations, it's on a first come first serve basis. I got to the campground around noon and was able to get a great spot, site 87 which was tucked away. I had enough space and privacy which is always nice! I love this place because it has great views, scenery and awesome hikes. I also loved that the ranger on site was helpful and knowledgable. He directed me to a few great hikes! The hikes were awesome, and had some pretty great views! My favorite hike was Cobalt Lake, it was about 6 miles total and definitely worth it. The campground itself was clean and well kept. The campsites do have a picnic table and fire ring. Just FYI, they do not have showers available but they do have flush toilets and running water. If you are only staying a few nights, a shower isn't really needed :). I would definitely recommend coming and staying here, it's a great place to stay!
RangerNice pull through spots. The ones to the west have more shade. Not every spot had a bear box but the spots were well maintained.
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.
