Visitors planning extended stays should consider bringing food supplies from larger communities like Cut Bank or Browning. Firewood is typically available for purchase at most campgrounds, though some restrict outside firewood to prevent the spread of invasive species.

      Johnson's Campground & RV Park

      Location was the only truthful description

      Advertised 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.

      Choteau Mountain View RV Campground

      This is the place we needed.

      After 3 days crossing the high plains, this nice campground with clean bathrooms and hot showers was just the ticket. I didn’t hear any traffic, very peaceful. All kinds of services a short distance into town: food, fuel, auto repair, dinosaurs.

      St Mary/East Glacier KOA

      Nice RV Park, ok staff

      We 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.

      St Mary/East Glacier KOA

      Nice destination campground

      This works for a great stay that’s super close to Glacier’s east entrance. The property is huge, and has a wide variety of sites. Everyone we interacted with was pleasant and welcoming. The amenities are many - from a pool/hot tub, large laundry, well-stocked camp store, many (clean!) bathrooms, a lovely nature trail leading to Lower St Mary lake, and ice cream and a mini restaurant. The views of the mountains are impressive. There’s not much shade on the RV sites, but the tent sites are very secluded and wooded. It was the perfect location for starting each day’s adventure in Glacier. Minus 1 star for the fact that the internet didn’t work for the entire 4 days we were there.

      Duck Lake Campground

      Overall an ok stay

      This place was extremely buggy and idk about who runs it cause I never saw any staff. My gf booked on Hipcamp and never got a response but we showed up anyway and I reserved a spot on their website when I got there. Site 1B idk where it was cause they had spots on the lake labeled 1-20 then at the entrance 3 cement pads with no markings at all. The site labeled 1 had a camper van in it so I take it the ones by the lake are A sites? On the website they had A and B labeled sites but I saw no A’s or B marking on any of the sites. I just took one of the pads for the night with electric by the entrance there was a dude already on the closest one which if those are the B sites when I reserved they showed 3 B sites available so I don’t even know if those are the B sites or if he had reserved. No one bothered me at all through the night or in the morning I did pay online and all and didn’t check the office before I left to see if anyone was even there. Also on the white board at the office the last written date was 6/26 so it seemed like no one staffed the grounds for 2 days. Bathroom was alright typical pit toilet. Aside from have the motorhome swarmed with mosquitos I slept well. Good view of glacier mountains in the distance.

      St Mary/East Glacier KOA

      Nice KOA near Glacier Park east entrance

      Very large park, has all the expected anemities and more. Spots are close together given how large the campground is and only about half full. Expensive is my only complaint.

    Guide to Heart Butte

Located at an elevation of approximately 4,600 feet, the area experiences warm summer days and cool nights with frequent mountain winds. The cabin camping season typically runs from May through September with some facilities extending into October depending on weather conditions.

    What to do

    Wildlife viewing at St Mary entrance: Located just 1 mile from Johnson's Campground & RV Park, the east entrance to Glacier National Park provides excellent wildlife spotting opportunities. "We were able to see a moose walking through the woods right next to our site," notes one camper at Johnson's.

    Mini-golf and games: Choteau Mountain View RV Campground offers family activities on-site. "They have a small mini-golf area, picnic tables at the sites, and full hookups. They also have laundry facilities," reports a visitor who appreciated the amenities during a hot summer spell.

    Hiking nearby trails: Cabin stays provide a stable base for exploring the region's trails. "It was good proximity to hiking within the park," explains a visitor about the small cabins at St Mary/East Glacier KOA, while another recommends "Swiftcurrent pass and Cracker lake hikes" that can be accessed from the Many Glacier trailhead.

    What campers like

    Riverside privacy: Divide Creek Campground offers secluded spots along the water. "The river side campground that we stayed at was private and stunning! We would stay here again in a heartbeat," shares one tent camper who spent 5 days there in July.

    Mountain views: Cabin locations provide scenic vistas of the surrounding landscape. "Heart of Glacier RV park had an awesome view of Gun-site ridge. Its just awesome to wake up in the mornings, walkout side and see Gun-site Ridge," writes a reviewer about their stay at Heart of Glacier RV Park & Cabins.

    Clean facilities: Many cabin locations maintain high standards for shared amenities. "Level sites, spotless bathrooms and showers, laundry room, camp store and even mini golf. We would absolutely stay here again," notes a camper who extended their single-night stay to three nights at Choteau Mountain View RV Campground.

    What you should know

    Token-operated showers: Some facilities have pay-per-use shower systems. "Showers are on token base, 1 token for 6 minutes. It's either really hot or really cold, no in between," explains a camper about Johnson's Campground. Another notes, "I will say it was annoying to pay an additional $5 per shower, but I get it."

    Variable cell service: Connectivity can be limited at cabin locations. "Zero ATT coverage. Verizon is just ok. Only internet is at office, you have to be sitting just outside the office to get 1 bar of WiFi reception," reports a camper at Johnson's Campground.

    Early season access: For cabin campers wanting to beat crowds, timing matters. "I love staying here because I can get up early and get into the park, up to Logan's Pass, before the crowds begin to filter in," shares a visitor about the convenient location of Johnson's Campground.

    Tips for camping with families

    Book multi-room cabins: Larger family cabins offer more space for groups. "We have a large group of 24 in 1 group site and we had plenty of space," notes one visitor about accommodations at a nearby campground.

    Look for cabin amenities: Features vary significantly between properties. "The cabin had a nice porch with swings. While small on the inside, it had everything we needed," reports a cabin camper.

    Consider pet restrictions: Divide Creek Campground and other facilities may limit certain dog breeds. "They have dog breed restrictions which is a bunch of antiquated, BS thinking," notes one potential visitor who decided against staying there.

    Tips from RVers

    Site spacing varies: At many locations with both cabins and RV spots, the latter can feel cramped. "Sites are TIGHT! Can't even open canopy without hitting next door unit," warns an RVer about Johnson's Campground.

    Road conditions: Mountain roads can challenge larger vehicles. "Make the trip to Many Glaciers! Be aware, there's a few miles of dirt road that's bumpy and some large ruts. You'll be paid off when you reach Swift Current Lake," advises an RVer who stayed at Heart of Glacier RV Park, but was hesitant about driving their RV on the dirt road.

    Power supply considerations: Some electrical connections may cause issues for sensitive equipment. "We used a 30 amp reducer and on the 3rd night, our power relay switch fried. They couldn't be sure, but think it may have been a power surge, not a lose wire," warns a guest at Heart of Glacier RV Park & Cabins.
