"The lake, Salish Mountains and Montana’s big sky are all front and center here. Lid Creek is 15 miles off U.S. 2 on a very winding but paved road."

Sites are on the small side, and most are not very flat."

GuideThree large loops, some with modest shade, others in the wide open (the latter type with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains). All a bit scruffy looking, but serviceable. Low on amenities (no electricity, water faucets scattered about) and relatively tight pull-through spaces, but all have a fire ring and picnic table. Well patrolled by rangers, with a daily evening program in the summer. As others have mentioned, timed entry tickets are not needed at the St. Mary entrance to the park, so you can head into the park any time you like. Added bonus: if you are camping with a travel trailer (and thus not able to drive the Going-to-the-Sun road because of length limitations), you are allowed to park your trailer in the the RV section of the St. Mary Visitor Center parking lot for the day, and drive in with your car alone. We were there in late June/early July: don't know if this option is available when the very high season hits in later July and August.
GuideWe booked this campgrounds so we could visit Glacier National Park. If that is your intent you need to get Go to the Sun Highway access tickets way in advance. We got luck and were able to visit the Highway by taking the bus trip.
The campground is about 45 minutes from the Going to the Sun Highway. It is a beautiful drive.
The campgrounds is on a meadow. It is very clean and well carried for. The showers are hot, sometimes too hot. 😃 Manager was very informative. It is a quiet campgrounds with a pleasant mix of seniors and families.
My campsite, number 34, has water, 30 Amp, 50 Amp, fire pit, and a picnic table. There is lots of room to park additional vehicles.
The only issue is there is no cellular service unless you use there Verizon booster in the pavilion. The wifi is weak. I have a booster which gives me enough wifi to check my phone and watch movies. I found nothing else to complain about.
Guideeasy to find. nice views. nice showers with hot water. pull throughs were level and nice and long. Came with picnic table and fire pit. Guests were quite and had great camp ground etiquette. Had a nice big dog run. the Store was great with food, souvenirs, and ice cream!
It is expensive but was 6 mins from east gate glacier. Had great Glacier views. Lots of dumpsters around for easy access. close to gas and shops. nice big hot tub and pool.
We enjoyed ourselves here.
LegendThis is a small, family owned native American campground. While not perfect, we ended up staying 6 nights. We had no reservations and called around. They were very accommodating. We loved how convenient it was to St. Mary (1 block) and the Many Glaciers road turnoff at Babb (8 miles). Some sites so have mountain views. Although only 2 bathrooms with showers (1 each for men & women) they were very nice with current decorating. There are new power poles in the big rig section for 50 amp. However, there is no breaker on the pole. We used a 30 amp reducer and on the 3rd night, our power relay switch fried. We had to go to Great Falls for repairs (Martin's RV Repair is the bomb). They couldn't be sure, but think it may have been a power surge, not a lose wire. The roads around the campground were dirt and not smooth. Not too bad though. The big rig section was level, gravel sites with grass area and picnic tables. No shade. The other areas for 30 amp and tent/car camping are tree shaded. The wifi could only be reached at the office. No cell at all. They do have 2 washers and 1 dryer. $2 each. This is definitely not a resort. They do try hard to accommodate. Would we go back. Yes, but only if we could get a 30 amp (our rig usage) site.
Awesome scenery and hikes close by. Going to the Sun road is amazing. Hidden Lake Overlook is not to be missed. PRO NOTE: If you like steak, Cattlemen in Babb (the only rest.) makes the best steak and lamb per hubby. Avoid the Salmon, though.
Ranger$25 a night. Restrooms and showers but did not need them. 30amp and water at some sites. Several spigots around the campground . Back in sites are small. Pull throughs are big rig friendly.
ScoutWe found this campsite on our way to Glacier National Park when we needed a tent site for the evening. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Only $22 for a site without electric hookups or $24 for one that does. The campground is very clean and offers showers, restrooms, laundry, dishwashing station, picnic table, cooking grill, fire pits, and WiFi included.
TravelerNot at all what owner Daniel promised us when we booked in February of 2023.
The Good: Convenient place to park with a pretty view near the east entrance of Glacier National Park.
The Bad: As of the end of July 2023, it's under construction (although no work was done the entire time stayed 6-days). It's a dirty, gravel, dust-bowl parking lot. No shade- ZERO. Couldn't use our awning because it was constantly windy. Could only use 1 AC unit because we saw no evidence of 50 amp, only 30 amp electric, despite what employee confirmed on telephone (prior to our arrival) and what's listed on the website booking page. Filthy, fly-infested, nearly unusable bathroom/showers. Construction materials scattered all over. Overflowing garbage dumpsters that said Do Not Use, the entire time of our stay. A little dead grass & weeds, but generally speaking this is a gravel parking lot. As others have said, the sewer pipes are 6-8" above grade and many flow uphill from where the camper sits, making the flow challenging. We disputed the premium rate we were charged in February and Daniel agreed to a credit. That was two weeks ago with no credit applied. We have since filed a dispute with our credit card company. We camped at Glacier Grizzly Resort- RV, Tent Site& Tipi in a Fifth Wheel.
RangerWe’re currently staying at St. Mary’s Campground, located right inside the east entrance of Glacier National Park, and the Going-To-The-sun road. One of the biggest perks this summer (2025) is that you don’t need a park entrance reservation to access the park from this entrance—unlike most of the other entrances, which are still under the reservation system. That alone made it worth booking here.
The campground is surprisingly well-equipped for a place with no hookups. There’s a dump station and water fill-up right at the entrance, but I also spotted a few water spigots scattered throughout the campground itself. Bathrooms are clean and have sinks, and even better—there are showers! There’s also a wash sink station for doing your dishes and a greywater dump area inside the campground. Definitely not your typical dry camping setup.
Bear lockers are available (not one per site, but they’re around), which is important considering the local grizzlies. We’re in Loop C, and it’s pretty balanced—half the loop has nice, small pull-through sites with picnic tables, tent pads, fire rings, and some much-appreciated shade. The other half of the loop is much more exposed—no trees or bushes, so you’ll be out in the open if you end up on that side.
The campground hosts have been super friendly and helpful, and there’s even a ranger talk in the evening, which is a nice touch. I haven’t had a chance to check out Loops A or B yet, but if I do, I’ll update this review with more info.
Overall, it’s a great base for exploring the east side of the park and super convenient if you’re heading to Many Glacier. Definitely recommend.
LegendNo issues getting to this campground (CG)— it’s right off I-15, making access simple and straightforward. There’s plenty of RV parking at the office, and check-in was friendly, quick, and easy. We were escorted to pull-through site 31 with full hookups (FHUs). All sites in this CG are pull-throughs, arranged in a large outer and inner circle layout. Utilities are centrally located on the pad, making it easy to position them to suit your setup. Water pressure was strong— we used a pressure reducer. The picnic table and yard are on the driver’s side, but it works well in this setup. We had solid connectivity: 4 bars on both T-Mobile and Verizon. The CG’s 5G Guest Wi-Fi was surprisingly good, delivering 124 Mbps download and 10.2 Mbps upload. Our T-Mobile home internet hit 28 Mbps download. The CG also sells propane and has a clean, well-maintained laundry facility. Overall, this spot was good for an overnight stay before heading into Canada.
