1 campground with availability this weekend
Cabin campgrounds near Siyeh Bend range from rustic summer-camp-style accommodations to deluxe lodging with private bathrooms and partial kitchens. West Glacier KOA Resort offers deluxe cabins with private bathrooms, partial kitchens stocked with basic supplies, and sleeping arrangements for up to six people. Lake Five Resort provides cabins with limited electrical outlets, some with bathrooms and kitchens. A camper noted, "The cabins are rustic (think summer camp) but clean. They have very limited outlets! One in the main room, used for the fridge and fan, and one in the bathroom." Glacier Campground features newer cabins equipped with mini-fridges and microwaves, while St. Mary/East Glacier KOA has cabin options with private porches.
Reservations are essential during peak season from May through September, particularly for locations closest to Glacier National Park entrances. KOA-style cabins typically allow pets but enforce strict leash policies. Johnson's Campground offers year-round cabin rentals with varying availability depending on weather conditions. "We stayed in a cabin that had one twin bunk bed and one twin over queen bunk bed. It also had a mini fridge and microwave," reported a visitor to Glacier Campground. Many properties implement fire restrictions during dry seasons, affecting fire pit usage at cabin sites.
Most cabin accommodations include beds but require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. As one reviewer advised, "Make sure you bring towels – while there are sheets on the bed, there are no bath towels." Small on-site markets at locations like West Glacier KOA and St. Mary/East Glacier KOA sell basic camping supplies, groceries, and souvenirs. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties, from basic mini-fridges to cabins with partial kitchens that include refrigerators, microwaves, and coffeemakers. Picnic tables and fire rings are standard at most cabin campsites, providing outdoor cooking and dining options. Several properties offer token-operated laundry facilities, though availability may be limited during busy periods.
"Level, campground was convenient to the visitor center(.5miles) and Apgar village(1 mile), and McDonald Lake. Bathrooms convenient but old and not as nice."
"The real attraction is Glacier National Park. I was lucky enough to visit when Going to the Sun Road was closed to cars and we could ride our bikes to the top. It was the highlight of my trip."

"Beautiful hike in from the highland trail with so much wildlife seen. Be careful, there were grizzly bears in the area, we saw one a quarter mile from the chalet. Definitely hike with bear spray."
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.
ScoutAdvertised 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.
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
GuideDecent commercial campground....close to East entrance to GLACIER NP...nothing overtly fancy but clean restrooms, showers...friendly staff..onsite restaurant
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 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.
Cabin camping near Siyeh Bend, Montana provides access to both east and west sides of Glacier National Park. Located along the Going-to-the-Sun Road at an elevation of 5,844 feet, the area experiences dramatic seasonal weather changes with heavy winter snowfall often lasting into June. Winter cabin rentals can be challenging to find as many properties close after September due to weather conditions.
Scenic day hikes from cabins: At Moose Creek RV Resort and Bed & Breakfast, visitors appreciate the strategic location. "This 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," reports one camper. Most cabin accommodations are within 10-15 minutes of trailheads.
Winter activities: While most cabin rentals close seasonally, Johnson's Campground & RV Park offers year-round cabin availability depending on road conditions. Some cabins remain accessible through the winter months. "Johnson's Campground is conveniently located near the east entrance of Glacier National Park. 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," one visitor notes.
Water recreation: Lakefront cabin options at Lake Five Resort provide immediate water access. "Located right on a lake just a few miles from the west entrance to the park, there are accommodations to fit everyone's needs. Cabins, some with bathrooms, some with kitchens, RV sites, and tipis," a reviewer explains. Rental equipment including kayaks and paddleboards is available on-site.
Less crowded locations: Some cabin options provide quieter alternatives to busy park accommodations. At Divide Creek Campground, "The river side campground that we stayed at was private and stunning! We would stay here again in a heartbeat," according to one visitor. Several cabins offer creek or riverside settings.
Alternative to tent camping: Cabins serve as a weatherproof option when conditions turn challenging. "We almost cancelled our trip to Glacier due to the current forest fires that have closed some of the park. We decided to take a chance on it though, and stayed just outside the west entrance of the park, at the privately owned Glacier Campground. We decided, given possible problems with smoke and haze, to rent one of their camper cabins instead of tent camping," a camper reports.
Evening activities: Many cabin accommodations offer structured evening programs. "The staff is extremely friendly. Wifi, showers, community campfires, and laundry. Not to mention it's a super close drive to Glacier National Park," notes a visitor to Moose Creek RV Resort. West Glacier properties typically offer more organized activities than east side locations.
Shower token systems: Many properties use 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," reports a camper at Johnson's Campground. Most cabin rentals provide one token per person per night.
Cell service variability: Connectivity differs dramatically between east and west sides. "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," explains a visitor to Johnson's Campground. Properties near West Glacier typically offer better connectivity.
Limited electrical outlets: Cabin designs often feature minimal power options. "The cabins are rustic (think summer camp) but clean. They have very limited outlets! One in the main room, used for the fridge and fan, and one in the bathroom, so don't plan on charging your devices," advises a Lake Five Resort guest. Consider bringing power strips or portable batteries.
Group-friendly options: Apgar Group Sites offer designated areas for larger family gatherings. "Group sites: you must have at least 10 people to stay here. Booked for a family reunion, was a nice layout. Site is wooded and shady. Facilities modern but still basic. Tons to do nearby for all ages and interests, including ranger programs short walk away," a camper explains.
Wildlife education opportunities: Cabin stays put families closer to wildlife viewing areas. "Wildlife passes through frequently, and we were able to see a moose walking through the woods right next to our site," notes a visitor to Johnson's Campground. East side cabins generally provide more wildlife viewing opportunities.
Room configurations: Cabin sleeping arrangements vary widely across properties. "We loved this campground. The staff were helpful and they had a variety of sites. We had an asphalt pad, but some were gravel. There were tent spaces as well," reports a visitor to Moose Creek RV Resort and Bed & Breakfast.
Bear safety considerations: West Glacier KOA Resort features enhanced wildlife protection. "My wife really enjoyed the fact that it had an electric fence around the perimeter to try and preclude wildlife from entering the park area. It keeps everything out, so you won't see deer walking through your campsite. But at the same time you don't have to worry about a bear trying to steal your stuff," reports an RVer.
Cabin heating limitations: Most basic cabins lack adequate heat for shoulder seasons. "Beginning off season, pull through site with water and electric. Uncrowded, convenient, but close to highway so a bit noisy. Bathrooms could use some heat and attention," notes a visitor to Moose Creek RV Resort in October.
Reservation flexibility: Policies for changing cabin reservations vary widely. "We refunded them the time we did not spend in the site. That is very unexpected. No one should expect that. The staff went way beyond expectations when helping us deal with our reservation issues," reports a visitor to Glacier Campground, highlighting their flexible approach.
