Best Tent Camping near Cut Bank, MT

Not 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.

If 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.

This 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.

Compared 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.

The 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!

I'm really glad we heard about this place. The views are gorgeous - quintessential mountains and lakes. We did the Sun Tours bus from East Glacier after getting off the train, which let us see all the touristy views north of here. Then we took the Glacier Park Inc shuttle from the lodge to this campground.

We wanted to be in the backcountry, but forest fires didn't allow for that. We camped in site 40, which is the backpacker/biker site. The ranger said it's rarely used. It's kind of a free for all site, in that it's never considered "taken" - you just add more tents as necessary. However, it's small. We had two small tents and pretty much took the whole space. A couple of bicyclists arrived later and had to make do.

The tent spots aren't quite level, but I've seen worse. The ground is very rocky, so definitely bring your sleeping mat.

There's potable water and a bear-bin for storing food near every site.

We hiked around Two Medicine Lake, and having lunch at Twin Falls made the 8 mile loop well worthwhile. The trail is mostly easy (rocky in some areas). My family (the youngest is 10) enjoyed it, but it was about as far as we would want to hike in a day.

If we were doing it again, we'd try to reserve a larger spot even though we didn't have a car. I'm glad they had the site we stayed in though!

We camped here over Labor day weekend 2019. The campground was on Blackfeet tribal land and the hosts were accommodating and friendly. We had site 15 and were surprised that we had no close neighbors and ample room for three large tents, a canopy, and our SUV. Quiet, serene, and other words come to mind. Sunsets by the fire were almost hypnotic.

Two Medicine never disappoints. I bring my waders and float tube and love to fish in the lake. The campground is at the base of a mountain where bear sightings are not uncommon! In true Montana fashion, the weather can change drastically in minutes. Wind can come through really strong here! Warning! I suggest hiking Scenic Point...pictures just don't do it justice.

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.

The 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.

Took my brother to Montana for the first time. We did an epic road trip. 5000 miles all over the west. Stayed in two medicine camp ground for a week. We hit some great trails out there. Twin falls, was a nice hike. I haven't been back there in 15 years. So much fun. Planning another trip there soon. The hike to hidden lake was a good hike. We're not in the best shape but we made it and it was so worth the trip. Had a little encounter with a black bear down by the lake but nothing to bad. Looking forward to the next trip.

Glacier National Park campgrounds fill up quickly -- but if you're coming to the park from the south east -- you might have a chance to get a site at the lovely Two Medicine. The entrance to the Two Medicine section of Glacier is separate from the main entrance, and it seems that many people miss this option until all the other options run out.

The campground is beautiful, and sits right on the lake with two mountains as a backdrop. Sites are spacious, however, there isn't a lot of privacy between sites. Some sites connect to others- which can be a bonus if you're traveling in a larger group.

We camped at Sites #72 & #73 -- two connecting sites one row back from the lake view. Each site had a fire pit, picnic table, tent pad, and access to toilets without a long walk. This site pair also had a nice trio of trees that we were able to use for our 3 hammocks (and hang them with a lake view).

To access other portions of the park like Going to the Sun road, the drive back out to the main entrance was an extra 10-12 miles. At the campground there is access to a number of short to medium hikes as well as a ranger station and lake tours by boat.

The owners are wonderful people. He is a wealth of knowledge and willing to share.

Listen to him. He saved us from taking things to Canada that we shouldn't take but

were going to. The border patrol WILL search your motor home. They know all the

hiding places. We got searched for over an hour. Luckily, I listened and took his advice.

We will always stay at Lewis and Clark when in MT. We had a wonderful trip to Alaska

via Canada. It could have turned out much different had we not stopped in Shelby at

Lewis and Clark RV Park before crossing the border, and listened to this wonderful mans advice.

He saved me from fines and maybe jail. I am forever grateful.
