Minutes away from Glacier National Park, this camp ground has it all. From cabins to RV sites to tent camping, there is something for everyone. We stayed in a tent. The bathroom's we're not too far away. It was nice to have a restaurant on site (that doubles as a coffee bar). The play structure is great for kids. We did not use the pools, but they looked nice from a distance.

ScoutSuper close to Glacier National Park, amazing views and amenities! Wifi worked great for majority of it. But there is still some service with Verizon if it isn’t working well.
I honestly wish I was staying a little longer to enjoy it more. I will definitely come back!

West Glacier KOA Resort
Most beautiful location of the KOAs I've stayed at. Nestled against the mountains and less than 3 miles to Glacier National Park.
Lots of sites to choose from. Ours was a pull thru with nice vegetation between. Fire pit with benches and picnic table. Some sites are close together with no privacy. Some have gas grills and patio furniture. There are cabins and tent sites as well. Bathhouse was average. The cafe was open for breakfast and dinner.Ice cream shop closed for the season. Amazing pool! Nice play area, dog parks. Really nice camp store, firewood available. KOA Workshop on site. RV wash and dog grooming by appointment.
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!!
ScoutConvenitly close to Glacier National Park. This KOA is in beautiful setting and has all the amenities of a hotel, but in the beauty of nature. The staff couldn't be more cordial or excited to share recommendations with you. all the facilities are top repair, and the sites although close by each other are separated by trees. Very lovely place to stay.
RangerWe had a beautiful site with a view of the mountains. Our dog Bentley loved the spacious while we enjoyed the delicious cinnamon roles from the bakery at the General Store! 😋
The Resort is located a short 2.5 miles from the entrance of Glacier National park. So it doesn't take long to get out to you favorite hiking trail or lake for boating or swimming.
GuideThis was a great place to stay for us! The lots are well maintained and even though spacing is close, it doesn’t feel that way due to the row of trees and shrubs separating the spaces. There is a store and other facilities onsite. The hosts are very kind. This campground is located very close to the Glacier National Park Entrance. I would highly recommend this place.
Guide
This is one our our families most memorable campgrounds that we have stayed at due to the view of Glacier National Park.
The campground was clean and well cared for and well run. We had a back-in full-hookup site that faced the mountains. The only negative was, we were right next to the main entrance so we did have a lot of traffic next to our site, but it didn't spoil our time. We enjoyed spending time outside watching the sun set and even when it rained we enjoyed the view from our RV.
The campground is very conveniently located to Glacier Park, which we would highly recommend. Very beautiful, great hikes, and the "Going to the Sun Road" is an amazing drive. We would definitely stay here again if we were going to stay on the east side if Glacier National Park. Highly recommend this park.
We would suggest coming to this area fully stocked with food for your visit. Food selection is very limited in the local stores and coupled with outrageous prices. Prices for groceries are inflated by four to five times above what you would find in most local grocery stores.
ScoutGlacier Campground is just a few miles outside of the west entrance of Glacier National Park. The campground is clean, and the hosts are friendly. We stayed in a cabin that had one twin bunk bed and on twin over queen bunk bed. It also had a mini fridge and microwave. You need to bring your own bedding, but the cabins are new and really cute. Worked perfect for us.
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.
RangerWe stayed here while on a hiking trip to Glacier National Park. We stayed in one of the small cabins, but they had RV and tent sites as well. They had a small shop with snacks/food, and souvenirs. We didn't use the pool but it looked nice. The cabin had a nice porch with swings. While small on the inside, it had everything we needed. It was good proximity to hiking within the park.
GuideSpacious and clean sites. They have many different size spaces all listed on their website. The restrooms have showers, there is a laundry area, they have a little store, and serve food at the cafe. There is a hiking trail, but we didn't get to explore it. This was right outside Glacier National Park. We stayed here to start the Going to the Sun road. At the site, you can opt to have electrical and water hookups if you need them.
Travelervery convenient to glacier national park and true back to nature campground. Easy to check in with friendly customer service. Sites are in alot of trees without any lights. Hills and rocks on your walk to the showers and restrooms. Very busy here , be prepared to wait for showers.
Rained every day here and some mud in campground. Peaceful here and quiet at night. Camping for all ages and campers. Price was reasonable and they have laundry facilities.
The location was excellent to glacier park and food.

Sure, I have a bias against tent camping in RV Land. There's usually no tree coverage, all the spaces are the same, and you have to deal with fumes, motors and people who are, essentially, driving around large living rooms. That said, there are some good folks to meet, colorful camphosts and extreme ease of setup. This spot, while not the sexiest, checks off a lot of boxes. You have lots of mountains, lakes, the glorious Glacier National Park nearby and some cute cabins.
Guide
We were there 5 nights. Very clean and quiet. Reasonably priced. Convenient to shopping and Glacier National Park. Laundry room was spotless. $1.50 for washer and 50 cents for 8 min on dryer. Nice dog park. Sites are nicely spaced. All hookups worked. Didn’t use bathrooms or showers. Trash dumpsters were conveniently placed around the park. Small store seemed to have all the essentials. Owners weren’t too awfully friendly and seemed to be inconvenienced when you came in for something. But would definitely stay again.
ScoutWe decided to take a trip to Glacier National Park with only a few weeks to plan. First off, don’t recommend. But as far for places to go, this KOA is great!! We are in our tent and they have private tent spots that are in trees and away from the main KOA stuff! Pets are allowed and wasn’t an issue to have our 90 lb Rottweiler with us. The KOA itself is very near the park entrance and a lake and has a river running right by it!
Guide
This 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!
TravelerWe stayed here so we could leave our trailer and drive the Going-to-the-Sun road in Glacier National Park. Worked Great.
Park was very noise with road noise since its on the highway. Not unlike most RV parks.
Little fenced in dog area was a nice place to let the pooch run around without a leash.
Laundry and Shower facility was great, they give you a code at check in and so you can use the laundry or shower whenever its convenient. Felt very clean and secure.
GuideThis popular campground is only one mile from the entrance to Glacier NP which makes it a good base camp when exploring and day hiking in the park. There are lots of trees which made it feel private, at least in the spot we had. The management team were extremely nice. There’s a restaurant on the property where we had breakfast one morning. There is a mix of tents and RVs, bikes, etc. There is water and electricity, but not full hookups. They do have a dump station though. Also the cell service was very good. We would stay here again when visiting Glacier National Park.
GuideThis was the perfect place for us during our visit to Glacier National Park. The hosts were very kind and there is a gift shop onsite. Other amenities included playground, dog park, restrooms/showers, and I think there was a laundry room, too. The WiFi was excellent! Spots are rather close, but it doesn’t feel so as the trees and shrubs between the spots provide a little privacy and separation. It is located near a busy road and train tracks, so you will likely hear traffic noise, but it did not bother us. I would recommend this place and would definitely choose them if we come back to this area.
GuideWe enjoyed our time at space #H10 for two reasons there was no one right next to us and it was the close of the season so very few fellow campers. Also due to Covid they were spacing everyone far apart, if this wasn’t the case each campsite would have been too close. The sites on Forest do provide more privacy. We will request one of these next time. All in all, it was a nice campground in the woods. There is not a lot of sunlight so it can get chilly. Bathroom was clean, dump station and other amenities were nice too. Best part, perfect location to get to Glacier National Park.
Traveler
We have stayed for a few nights over the 4th of July, 2023 at this place to visit Glacier National Park. The only good about this place is that the campground(not a resort by far) is relatively close to the East side entrance of the park(~20 miles). There are really not many choices to camp on the East side of the Glacier National Park, but I strongly recommend KOA St. Mary's over Glacier Grizzly campground if you are able to find availability at KOA. The pictures on Glacier Grizzly's website do keep changing constantly and most of the pictures are taken of some other places and not theirs. I am attaching few pictures of what it is really over there. The place is all gravel with water, sewer and electric hookups. They used to advertise 50amp hookups(they have stopped doing so since), but there were only 30amp hookups available at the time of our stay and I really doubt anything changed since. The sites are indeed fairly spacious, though fire pits are simply hole dugouts in the gravel. There was only one, recently built shower house available for the whole campground(2 showers and 2 toilets), but upkeep of it was lacking- no toilet paper, no hand soap, no way to dry your hands after using a restroom, nobody cleaned shower house during our entire stay! As an icing on the cake, one of the toilets got clogged and nobody had bothered taking care of it for a few days. Furthermore, there were only a couple locations for a garbage disposal that were overflowing with garbage. For around$130/night, we have definitely expected more. All the negative reviews are fairly accurate about the campground and the service(or lack of the service) provided.
