TravelerWe camped in October so there was no access to water. No electricity for the campsites, but for $20 by Glacier it was perfect. 5 min from the visitor center. Sites are pull thru but pretty un-level so bring lots of stuff to level. We camped with our 27ft. travel trailer and was perfect.
RangerReviewed by: The Crew at Hitched4fun.com
If you are planning an epic trip to explore Glacier National Park, your choice of home base can make or break your trip logistics. We stayed four nights at Moose Creek RV Resort in West Glacier, Montana, and it served as the ultimate launchpad for exploring every corner of this iconic national park.
Location & West Glacier Access
When visiting Glacier, proximity to the park gates is everything. Moose Creek is super close and remarkably convenient to the West Glacier entrance, allowing you to beat the morning rush onto Going-to-the-Sun Road without spending hours in transit beforehand. (Still arrive early at park entrance!)
Campground Vibe, Grounds & Amenities
The park has that authentic, rustic Montana feel while providing all the modern comforts you need after long days on the trail:
Starlink Performance Under the Pines
For RVers who work remotely or rely on satellite internet like we do, camping under heavy pine canopies can often be a connectivity nightmare. However, even with dense pine trees surrounding our site, our Starlink dish locked onto signal and worked reliably throughout our entire four-night stay—a massive plus for staying connected in the Montana backcountry.
Glacier Park Routes & A Must-Do Tow-Vehicle Loop
During our four days, we were able to make the jaw-dropping drive across the Going-to-the-Sun Road twice round-trip, plus an additional one-way trek on our final day.
For your tow vehicle or passenger car, here is a scenic driving loop you should not miss:
The Hitched4fun Verdict
Moose Creek RV Resort is everything a national park gateway camp should be: clean, quiet, scenic, and packed with practical amenities that make traveling easy. Whether you are looking for reliable Starlink connectivity under the pines or quick access to the best drives in North America, this park delivers. We highly recommend it to anyone heading into Big Sky Country!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars— Highly Recommended by the Hitched4fun.com crew!
GuideWe usually use KOAs for full hook ups, showers and laundry this KOA is probably the nicest and cleanest one I have been in. There are trees which most are in flat fields. I think 4 or 5 pools which are heated because it is now October and kids were in the pool. It has a nice store. The ice cream shop and restaurant are closed. The thing I like is it has grass between sites so my dogs can pee. It also has 2 dog runs a walking path it is outstanding if you like clamping to the fullest. It also has many cottages. Some sites also have their own patio and gas grills. The ladies in the office are the nicest people. I would stay again.
GuideWe stayed in site A27 for 5 nights. The site was great other than the auto headlights as we were across from the only 2 showers in the campground. There was plenty of room for our 17’ trailer and truck and a large tent area and sitting area. Deer came through often and the squirrels were entertaining. We could walk to the visitor center and village. The time of year was great. GoingToTheSun road was fine warning but we had to arrive at Logan Pass at 7 pm to get parking. Great paths all attorneys and access to the lake. It was a good first experience.
GuideDecent low key commercial campground...pull through sites...full hook up...fairly priced...nice location...a little tough to see entrance in the dark....Highly recommended especially for folks like us that need a decent place to base out of.....easy check in...online reservation.....friendly onsite owner..would stay again
GuideWe really enjoyed this campground, especially the welcome center and The Sunflower cafe. There's only one dump site on the way out but it wasn't busy so that was easy. It's in the woods but our site wasn't difficult to level. It felt private and quiet even with folks right next to us. It is 3 miles from the Apgar entrance but took us 35 minutes with traffic, so prepare for that.
LegendWe chose this smaller RV park for its proximity to Glacier National Park and the bike path into Glacier. Sadly, it has been raining a lot but we still like the place. The sites are somewhat typical spacing for an RV park but the setting feels more natural with a lot of trees. Some road noise, but it does down at night. The bathrooms, in what seems to be a portable building but they are clean, modern, with great water pressure and plenty of hot water. We’d stay here again.
ScoutI was greeted very promptly. Shower/bathrooms very clean with semi hot water for shower. The owner was thoughtful and gave me a site with a rain shelter, unfortunately my tent was too big. The site I chose was big. I would stay here again.
LegendBeautiful campground with access to the stunning Flathead Lake. We were in the B loop which has electricity for RVs. Lots of little short trails down to the lake. We walked part of the Lakeshore path and it was beautiful. Vault toilets are ok. Not too smelly. Rangers at check in were friendly.
Cabins near Olney, Montana provide access to both Glacier National Park and the Flathead National Forest at elevations ranging from 3,000 to 4,500 feet. Most cabin accommodations in this region are accessible from May through October, when temperatures typically range from 35°F nights to 85°F days during peak season. Winter cabin options are limited due to heavy snowfall that can exceed 200 inches annually in the surrounding mountains.
Explore mountain trails: North American RV Park & Yurt Village offers quick access to hiking paths. "Only 5 minutes away from West Glacier Park entrance. Close by is a zip line attraction with a blow up slide in water for the little ones and bounce house obstacle with a slide," notes Danielle F.
Fish at onsite ponds: Mountain Meadow RV Park and Cabins maintains a fishing pond for guests seeking relaxation without driving to larger lakes. "The fishing and pond area was clean and well kept. Super close to the park entrance," reports Tracy O. The campground also offers kayak rentals for those wanting to get on the water.
Enjoy evening entertainment: Many properties host scheduled activities during summer months. "They had live music on a Thursday night in a grassy field near the office," mentions Bea from Mountain Meadow RV Park. Similarly, West Glacier KOA offers "live music available each night in a very open inviting area that looks out at the mountains," according to andrew.
Onsite dining options: Glacier Campground receives praise for its food service. "There is a terrific indoor-outdoor cafe on site, and a central gathering area with playground and group picnic shelters," writes Janet R. Campers appreciate having meal options without leaving the property after long days exploring.
Dog-friendly accommodations: Many properties welcome pets with dedicated facilities. North American RV Park features a "great dog park that we thoroughly enjoyed," according to Melody C. Rocky Mountain Hi Campground also permits pets in their cabins, with sites featuring "trees and a fire ring."
Private bathroom facilities: Columbia Falls RV Park earns high marks for cleanliness. "Bathrooms were amazing! 2 large stalls and 3 large showers, 1 was handicap. Very clean, nice tile and spacious," reports Kimberly W. The property maintains separate shower buildings accessible to all guests, regardless of accommodation type.
Advance booking essential: Popular cabin properties fill completely during summer months. "Make sure you bring an extension cord to hook up your electric just in case you have a short standard cord on your camper," advises Marcus K. from Glacier Campground, highlighting the importance of planning ahead for utility needs.
Limited cell service: Connectivity varies significantly throughout the region. "Internet and phone service is very weak," notes Mark V. about Mountain Meadow RV Park. Many properties offer Wi-Fi near main buildings but coverage typically doesn't extend to all cabin sites due to dense forest cover.
Fire restrictions: Rules regarding campfires change seasonally based on conditions. Stillwater Getaway offers alternatives with its "outdoor kitchen" mentioned by Reagan M., providing cooking options even during fire bans that commonly occur late summer.
Look for kid-specific amenities: Several properties feature dedicated children's areas. Rocky Mountain Hi Campground offers a "large, grassy playground and swimming area," according to Kimberly Y., making it particularly suitable for families with younger children.
Consider cabin spacing: Site privacy varies significantly between properties. At Moose Creek RV Resort (formerly San-Suz-Ed), "spacing is close, it doesn't feel that way due to the row of trees and shrubs separating the spaces," notes Darla, creating natural barriers between family groups.
Check for recreation options: Properties with onsite activities minimize travel time with children. West Glacier KOA Resort includes "a 2 pools (which, though heated, is super cold), a hot tub (but it's adult only, so if you have kids that cannot be alone, it's a no go), and a nature trail," according to Sterling C.
Site leveling challenges: Some properties require additional equipment for stabilization. At Mountain Meadow RV Park, Ray & Terri F. noted "Our site was not very level front to back and side to side, and though we got close, we couldn't get fully level." Bringing extra leveling blocks helps address this common issue.
Navigation considerations: Forest cabin properties often have narrow access roads. Whitefish Bike Retreat presents challenges for larger vehicles as Katie O. reports: "We took our 24' trailer in with our Tundra. It was gravel, bumpy and steep in spots I would not advise anything longer."
Utility placement varies: Hookup locations differ significantly between sites. "At least on sites 11-16, pull-throughs, the hookups are fairly close to the front of the site," explains Ray & Terri F. about Mountain Meadow RV Park, suggesting RVers should pack extension cords and longer hoses to ensure connectivity.
