Best Glamping near Heart Butte, MT

The location of glacier grizzly campground is perfect for visiting st Mary or east glacier. 17 miles either way. The bonus is taking star school road in from browning. So much easier in the monster rigs. Great set up for them at this campground. It is new and still getting there. But hot showers. Super quiet nights and beautiful views and night skies. This place is a winner. I can’t wait to return once the landscaping is complete. Colin and Lori were most gracious hosts. And fly fishing at the creek right there. Awesome. Also they have teepees. Glamping at its best. Stay at the far end for wi-fi😉

Beware! The people running this business are con artists, liars with no ethics and no morals. I booked for a Glamp Tipi for 1 night for an overpriced $440. The evening of the reservation, they texted me and said that their "power is out" on all the furnished tipis and told me they have an RV instead. I said I did not want an RV because we already have one but really just wanted the tipi experience. Lori told me that she could only offer me what they have or we could just cancel. I said I will just cancel then if they can't provide what I booked for and then asked her if I will receive my refund within a few days. She said "yeah definitely". 3 week later, I noticed I still have not received my refund. I left her a few text messages, it shows that she read them but she did not respond. I called their toll-free number and Daniel answered. I explained to him what happened. He said that Lori no longer works there anymore and she probably didn't respond because she doesn't care. He said he will take down my name and number and check the system and call me back tomorrow morning. He never did. The next day, I called him back several times throughout day and he never answered the phone. This is such shady business practice. At this point, I got really worried that I'm a victim of fraud and that they have stolen my money and hiding now. I started to look up the online reviews and noticed all the negative reviews were similar stories to mine. I texted Lori again confronting her and she finally replied "I'll check back with the cancellation department and let you know when I hear about your refund." Obviously she is lying because Daniel just told me she no longer works there! And of course she never did check and never ever got back to me, even when I texted her multiple times to follow up after that day. How can they think that they can just steal innocent people's money and run off and get away with it?! I called my credit card company to dispute the charges because this business refuses to cooperate and refund me for a service that they could not provide. I called them a hundred times and through other avenues and they clearly are avoiding me. I know there are many others like me who have been scammed by them. We should all band together and take legal class action lawsuit because what they are doing is wrong and so that they don't keep doing this to more people! I found so many fake reviews they did for themselves to offset the ton of negative reviews they receive. There are obvious telltale signs that the positive reviews are so fake. They are a huge disgrace to the genuine Blackfeet Tribe community.

This small campground packs a tremendous punch! RVs (if I had to guess, accommodates 8-12 total), rustic cabins, two yurts, and pondside tent sites - there are no defined tent sites; anywhere along the pond perimeter is fair game.

We stayed just one night in one of the yurts ($35 summer 2021), which is equipped with two cots and a battery-operated lantern. After checking in with the camp hosts (who are lovely!), we got a key to the showers, bathrooms, and laundry room. The hosts keep these areas immaculate, cleaning often. There's also very limited wifi on the porch just outside the bathrooms/showers.

The campground has a great vibe and everyone is very friendly. Between the pond and Swan Lake just across the street, it is buggy, but you cannot beat the location! 

The general store is still closed due to flooding last summer, but new construction is well underway.

For full disclosure we were compensated for this trip for testing the Dyrt's reservation system.

Our trip to Swan Lake Trading Post & Campground started out by reserving the campground through The Dyrts's new reservation system. Reserving the site was extremely easy and fast to use, way better than other systems we have used before. We had a confirmation from the campground with in a few hours of using the reservation system.

Now for the campground. We were highly impressed by this small campground. The tent camping area was located around a small pond/lake. The site has picnic tables and fire rings as well as plenty of chairs available for siting around the fire or along the little lake. The campground has 8 RV sites, 3 cabins and 3 yurts (the yurts had not been set up for the season during our visit). The trading post has all your basic camping needs and anything you need if you forget something, they even have Ice Cream. If you don't want to cook breakfast the trading post will take care of that for you by cooking up a breakfast sandwich for you. The campground provides clean restrooms and showers. Tent sites were very reasonable at $20, just two more dollars than the Forest Service campground down the road which does not have flush toilets or showers. The camp host are very friendly. We were provided with the camps wifi password, but you do have to be on the trading post back porch to use it. The porch has plenty of table an chairs for sitting at. They also have games you can use to pass the time, we didn't use them but was nice to know they were available. It was nice and quiet at night with very little traffic on the highway, plus the creek running by really muffled any noise from vehicles driving by. This campground will definitely be on our list to stay at the next time we visit the Swan Valley and Swan Lake.

Yes it’s a new campground but it’s very close to all of the East Glacier attractions and it’s surrounded by Montana’s natural beauty. I stayed for 5 days and had an amazing time. I even got a chance to talk to the owner and he was extremely helpful. Also, he informed me on the rich history behind the land.  This place has a lot of history behind it. I feel like I can now say I have a great understanding of Blackfoot and Glacier Park history staying here.  I officially have checked off something that’s been on my bucket list for the longest time! Thank you guys!

Small 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!

This campground is right outside the Two Medicine entrance to Glacier National Park, just as you turn off of Highway 49 onto Two Medicine Rd. It is operated by members of the Blackfeet Tribe on their ancestral land and the hosts were friendly and welcoming. When we stayed there, all the campgrounds in the park were overflowing and there were long lines at 6:30 am for first-come sites, but this campground was basically empty. We found ourselves a lovely site next to a creek that flows into the Two Medicine Reservoir, it was quiet and peaceful and just isolated enough to feel private without feeling dangerous. The site was pretty well maintained, although there was some broken glass to be aware of. The portapotties were clean and well maintained, and while there appeared to be only one spot for water, it too was clean and tasted great. While we didn't see any wildlife while we were there, (old) bear scat was near our site. It is bear country, after all, so make sure to keep your food in your car and only burn wood in the firepits (if burning is allowed.) This was by far the best campground both in and out of the park that we found near Glacier.

Glad we found this campground everything else was full. The owners are working to get all the hookups repaired. 93 sites lots of different types of sites. All the workers are very nice Electrical sites are 48$ non are 28 they are using portapottys until they get the water and bathrooms repaired.

PSA: 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.

Great Location On the East Side. Was easy to get to Many Glacier, Two Medicine East Glacier entrances. The staff was helpful and had plenty of tips on how to get in the Park and told us about tours we could to take. We stayed 6 nights in our Motorhome.

Wrecked enroute to campground a week before our reserved stay. Tried to cancel and was told by owner he would have to call back with cancellation number. He never called and refused to answer phone or emails.

He has since told me he will not honor refund policy on his website. 

Do yourself a favor and spare yourself headaches and dealing with your credit card companies to report a fraudulent merchant!

Stay away! Also have heard reports that photos on his site are BOGUS! 

We have camped all over the country. Our first wrecked RV and our first encounter with a fraud and a crook campground owner!

What a great stay and beautiful mountain views. My wife loved this place. It was nice and peaceful. The facilities were clean and we used the laundry services for the kids clothes. Had a great experience. Will definitely be back.

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.

Booked with Glacier Grizzly about a month ago. However, two days later a site opened on the east side of the park that we were lucky enough to get. I have been trying for a month to get a refund with no success. I keep hearing I’ll get a refund, but it’s been over a month. I am starting to wonder if this business is legit, or if they are brand new and just have some serious customer service issues to work out…

This RV site is still under construction, I dont know why they don’t make that clear and make it seem that it’s almost done. There is nothing here yet but a mere construction site, but they try to charge you a lot!

This place is under full construction. Huge mud and gravel pit

 No 50 Amp service at all. Not as advertised. It's awful. Nothing like pictured on web site. Do not book this place it is awful. Open electrical on the ground, a burn pit and open sewer pits. Not ready for occupancy. Owner was rude and wouldn't give discount for lack of amenities and construction noise. No 50 Amp service on site at all which we paid for.

This campground is in a great location. My husband loves that he can fish on site the bathroom/shower are clean and spacious. Very friendly and accommodating will come back, also full hook up and lots of space

The campground’s location is a 15/10. The owner came up to my husband and I, and went up to others around the park. We talked to him for 20 minutes or so. Really nice guy. He’s Blackfeet, the campground itself is on Blackfeet land and mainly has Blackfeet natives working there which I find really powerful.

The campground itself is brand new, seems like they are still working on the small details. Definitely not muddy, mainly gravel and some grass. I really can’t imagine building a campground when the working seasons are so short here, considering this campground is right next to Glacier. So I gotta say, the views, hospitality, and easy access to the park… worth it. We stayed in the passport travel trailer and it was clean, seems brand new, and really comfortable. We’re both super excited to come back and visit again. Wish we could’ve stayed longer.

We booked here for a week and only stayed 3 nights! It's basically just a big open construction pit. It could be nice in the future but I would not waste your money on this until later on when it's fully done. Theres only one available shower right now, no 50 amp even though it's advertised, no laundry facility even though it's advertised. The owner told us he would deliver us a picnic table and make us a fire pit by 10 am on the second day we were there and neither of those things ever happened. We had to go get our own picnic table from a big dirt pile and we had to build our own fire pit with rocks that were scattered around the construction site. Once again, I will say maybe in the future this place will be nice BUT I would not go right now as it is a Full blown construction site still. I should also add the construction noise is loud and annoying. The whole reason we went to Glacier was to enjoy the peace and quiet not construction noise. So we packed up and left and went camping elsewhere.

Lori the manger was excellent. Always available. The R.V. site is brand new with a little construction going on. Great location and spots have a lot of space. No problems with any of the hookups with everything provided

We arrived to this brand new campground and stayed for a week at the tent site. We were a group of 11 and it was such an amazing experience! There was still some construction going on, and a few advertised details were not up and running, BUT it did not deter our group at all. There were 2 fully working bathrooms with showers, picnic tables, and a fire pit. The tent site was very open with soft dirt and grass, which was very comfortable for us, and gorgeous views of Glacier park! The nearest grocery store and gas station were about 15 minutes away. The east entrance to Glacier National Park was about a 15-20 minute drive! We will definitely be back here again in the future when it’s 100% completed, because I know it’s going to be PERFECT!

Very clean facility, beautiful views, and easy access to Glacier Park. We enjoyed our stay. The best part is that it is owned and operated by a Blackfeet Indian!  Our stay was quite and peaceful.

The surrounding atmosphere is so breathtaking it almost feels like its straight out of a National Geographic documentary. I loved the fact that there was a river right next to where I stayed with the view of the mountains. Its a new campground...I noticed they were a little understaffed but the management was still able to accommodate my husband and I. If you're looking for something quiet and peaceful this is definitely a great campground to try. I also noticed their storefront is brand new and they're still stocking the shelves, but there is a local grocery store about 10 miles away in St Marys if you're looking to stock up on food. Overall, I really enjoyed my time here and it was a perfect little getaway. Thank you guys, until next time!
