ScoutWe found a great spot right on the river for our tent. There's a big parking lot with room for at least 10 cars and our spot was a very short walk away. There are two drive in spots at the top of the road, one at the bottom, and maybe 4 walk in spots near the parking lot. Bathrooms with a pit toilet. Plenty of vans and people camping in vehicles as well. About 30 mins from the entrance to West Glacier
TravelerNicely laid out one a hillside with most sites level for RV's. Nice tent sites as well. Very convenient to West Glacier and the NP.
TravelerThis is part of a county park and is not national forest so the BLM/USFS rules do not apply. The limit changes as of 2026 per the law enforcement in the area. It is now a 3 day stay and only on one side of the bridge. The road in was still closed as of June 18th 2026.
TravelerThis is a big rig friendly grass and gravel lot easily accessible and in great condition. There is a 16 day stay limit, no trash and no toilets so be prepared for that. Beautiful views and just across the street from the Flathead River. Super dog friendly and very quiet. There were about a dozen other medium to big rigs back here while I was here but still room for a lot more. Bring your leveling blocks if you want to be level. Some spots are pretty close to level others are not. There are bears in the area but none in camp proper while I was here. Be proactive with your trash, grills and food and mindful of your pets!!!
ScoutI didn’t need much so I was pretty happy about this spot. You can hear the traffic and train but it’s not that bad.
ScoutAll the workers are super friendly. They have a store on site with merchandise (clothes, gifts, and camping needs). There are sites for RV/Car Camping/rooftop tent. Some sites are not campfire accessible. All sites do have water/ electric hook ups. They do have a nightly community camp fire. They have showers/bathrooms that are well maintained. They have laundry room as well. It’s cost about $3.00 to run a load of laundry and then $1.00 to use the dryers. They have complementary breakfast in the mornings.
GuideNice sites with some vegetation barrier. Pull thru sites much larger than back-in sites and more private. Quiet. Nice amenities.
ScoutThis spot has been great to stay at for our 4 day visit to Glacier. It is a small campground with only 3-4 spots but there is a medium to large parking lot that a bunch of people were staying at usually just for 1-2 nights. The bathroom did not have toilet paper our whole stay.
LegendWe had a great 4 nights 5 days camping at the big arm unit. Most of the A loop is not level so if you’re bringing a small RV bring some extra blocks to level up. Beautiful view of the lake and awesome site. The weather will change quite rapidly in early June so be prepared. This lake is great for kayaking or sup so bring toys. Lots of opportunity for fishing as well but you will need a CSKT license and Montana license for this area. We had a great time and will return again. Showers are available with tokens from park rangers or camping host. Firewood and ice is also available in the park from the host. Good hikes are available in the park and lots of opportunity in the immediate area to venture out, and see other areas around the lake.
