  Moose Creek RV Resort and Bed & Breakfast

  Nice wooded setting near West glacier

  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.

  Pleasant Valley Campground

  Perfect stop for primitive

  Stayed early October and only 1 other camper. Glad it was open, as information is limited and most areas close Sept 15th or Oct 1 and close gates for access. Basic sites, vault toilet. Underused, but great for horses with fence, etc. Only one other car camper. Beautiful stars at night!

  Stopped here but didn’t end up staying the night

  Could’ve been a really cool camping spot but after setting up camp a couple came yelling right by my van. They were part of the homeless camp and I just didn’t feel super comfortable because they were saying really aggressive things.

  Bowman Lake Campground — Glacier National Park

  Best National Park Campground in the US!

  We've camped all over...all over Glacier and all over the country, and this is hands-down one of our favorite campgrounds. 100% our fave national park campground! An authentic unplugged, quiet camping experience.

  The remote location is amazing, and the campsites are nicely spread out in a moody, dark forested area with near full shade. There are a couple of paths directly to the lake, literally a 2-3 minute walk from anywhere in camp. Sites have fire rings and picnic tables, and there are a few vault toilets and several trash bins and potable water spigots. No showers or sinks. Deer galore! The visitor tent is pretty cool, especially for families with kids. It has activities and games like scavenger hunts, books/tools for identifying wildflowers/plants/scat etc. And there's a camp host onsite seasonally, also.

  Note that all sites are FCFS. Rangers at the entrance usually have a fair idea of whether you'll get a spot.

  Even though the park has gotten much busier in the past few years, Bowman still remains a quietER gem. The long road keeps people away, I guess - although some 2023-24 construction/improvements has made it quite a bit better.

  Glacier Campground

  Perfect for our Glacier NP visit

  This campground was very cute. The owners were so friendly and accommodating. The resident cat Poncho was a hot with our kids. The showers were small, but we're hot and free! The lawn was great with a communal fire pit and small playground. They let travelers camp there for 12 per person per night in a tent if that's what you're looking for. The cafe was cute and the drinks were delicious. We didn't eat, but it looked good! I would stay here again foe sure.

  Horses Welcome | Hot Shower | Close to Everything

  Quiet and peaceful

  I stayed at Whispering Pines for three nights in a July heatwave. It was a work trip, and I tried to book a hotel but was offended at the high prices in the Flathead, so I opted to take my teardrop and camp.

  This place was great. It is a really nice place with plenty of space, a very clean porta-potty and an outdoor shower. No electric hookups, but there is great cell reception and it’s only 10 minutes from downtown Kalispell.

  The price was reasonable, compared to nightly hotel room rates, but for camping, anything over $35 a night really should have power. But, all things considered, this place does what it does really well, and that’s fine. Bottom line: if you are looking for a clean, quiet place to camp in Kalispell, give this place a try. Proximity to Whitefish, Glacier NP is excellent.

  Relax and chill

  We stayed in site F16. It is close to the main lodge and the cafe.

  The showers and bathrooms were very clean.

  The campground is about 1 mile from the west entrance of glacier park!

  Nice equestrian campground!

  It’s Saturday and no one is here but me. Picnic tables, metal fire rings with grills, vault toilets. Big pretty pine trees! I get one bar of Verizon service but it’s not very useful.

  Great campsite with deep blue water

  Was a great campsite for river views and a short drive to glacier national park. River was very deep and a beautiful swim! However it’s a heavily travelled road and the boat ramp was being used quite often.

  No big rig (30’+) access!

  Not super accessible to bigger rigs, small sites, the other camping off the left side of road is better for all size rigs, but also had some homeless camps within and no river access.

  Peaceful, Well-tended, Best Shower in Montana

  I drove into Whispering Pines weary from travel, seeking a well-earned rest and recharge. I am very pleased to say I received that and more.

  Tucked away where the Kalispell Valley meets the pines, you'll find this campground. Its peaceful here, but the amenities of the city are close by. The views are great. The sunrise on my last morning lit up the entire mountain range to the East. The sun sets in a spot that allows you to see out for miles, as the sky continues to glow well after the sun has disappeared from frame. On a clear day, you can even see Heaven's Peak in Glacier National Park from your campsite.

  And the night sky is marvelous. The shower was very well thought out: great water pressure, endless heat, and an open roof to stare up at the stars. I will not forget that shower experience for a long time, soaking under the Big Sky.

  The last thing I'll say is that the campground host, Charles, is very welcoming and attentive to your needs. The kind of host that makes sure you have clean facilities every step of the way, but leaves your space to enjoy your time the way you want to. We kicked it off right away. It's very clear that he is a nice guy who simply enjoys sharing his love of the state with you.

  TLDR; Try this place out, you'll be glad you did.

  Really nice!

  I had one bar of Verizon service, so I could send and receive messages, but pics sent very slowly. I was at the first campsite on the right, less than a quarter mile walk down to the pit toilets and river. Lots of trucks with trailers coming and going, plus the sound of traffic from the road, but it wasn’t too bad. The river is beautiful and has a little beach for swimming. My campsite had a good amount of shade and could fit a big rig easily. It was nice and flat, surrounded by pine trees. Lovely! Bugs were not bad at all.

  Couldn’t have asked for more!

  Charles was friendly and welcoming, we felt right at home! The stars gave us a show every night and it was very quiet. The shower is amazing! Instant hot water for as long as you’d like. We’re only 1.5hrs away from Kalispell so we will definitely be back!

  Nice vibe, close to Glacier NP

  We really liked this campground. Sites are shady. The cafe serves a good quality and imaginative menu. Hang out at the lodge for WiFi. Staff and other campers were very nice. Only negatives were loud music from a neighboring campground and only 4 showers for each sex for a pretty large campground. Still, the showers were included in the price, so that’s nice.

  Perfect Place plus Cookies!

  Peaceful and convenient ( town is about 4miles). The site has everything you need- an awesome outdoor shower was a nice touch. I met the owners-so cool. They even had put homemade cookies on my picnic table. I will definitely stay again. Sites are Giant.

  Close to everything, but still out in the country!

  5 minutes to Rebecca Farms, 20 minutes to Under The Big Sky Venue, 20 minutes to Flathead and Whitefish Lakes, 40 minutes to Glacier National Park. Minutes to Kalispell and a wide variety of food and drink options.  Corrals for horses 20 acres and an arena to stretch out.   Book a spot, you will love it!

  Glacier Campground

  Great Wooded Spot

  We typically avoid private campgrounds. This one though was different. Amazing proximity to the west entrance of Glacier NP (but west side of Glacier NP is basically closed until July 1.) and a 1.5ish hour drive to the East gate and Two Medicine. We have a 25ft camper and the site was more than big enough. The camp sites were very well maintained but still felt like you were out in the woods camping. Good space between sites. Sites have a fire pit(only allow fires in their ring) and we did a water and electric hook up site. Dumping is free or you can pay them to come and dump your tanks on site. There is also a laundry room. We were very impressed.

  I cannot wait to come back

  Spacious and clean sites. They have many different size spaces all listed on their website. The restrooms have showers, there is a laundry area, they have a little store, and serve food at the cafe. There is a hiking trail, but we didn't get to explore it. This was right outside Glacier National Park. We stayed here to start the Going to the Sun road. At the site, you can opt to have electrical and water hookups if you need them.

  Bowman Lake Campground — Glacier National Park

  Heaven on Earth!

  Long, rough dirt roads leads you to this primitive campground at the gorgeous Bowman Lake.

  The sites are roomy with lots of trees. Clean pit toilets and a few water spigots are available.

  For those who want it, there is no cell service!

  Spend the day kayaking or paddle boarding in this serene, remote location. Polebridge Mercantile is about 30-40 minutes away for a small selection of food supplies you might need.

  Wonderful spot

  All around favorite!

  Great location. Close to West Glacier, in the woods, and all sites are wooded and have space from one another. We had full hooks ups. Bears frequent area.

  Awesome staff—so helpful and willing to give lots of Glacier advice.

  No WiFi, no ATT but Verizon worked well.

  Hot water in showers, nice bathrooms, great laundry facility.

  One of my absolute favorites—highly recommended!

  Bowman Lake Campground — Glacier National Park

  Secluded & Serenity - Need AWD/4x4 or high clearance car

  First let me say DON’T plan on camping here unless you have the proper vehicle to get you safely up that road. If you are driving a low profile vehicle you are likely to blow your suspension as it is a dirt road with lots of potholes. I was fine with my 4Runner but I definitely saw some people in cars that should not have been driving on the mostly uphill road. With that being said this was my definitely one of my favorite places I’ve camped. The sites are huge so you’re not on top of your neighbors, lots of trees to hang a hammock etc. it was so quiet & peaceful. Lots of wildlife, the lake is a short 2 minute walk down a designated trail. You can kayak, paddle board or canoe on the lake. There are tons of areas to sit around the lake to relax or have a picnic. Due to the remote location they only have pit toilets and a few water spigots around the campground. There is no cell service and even my satellite GPS was finicky at times. There were a couple bear boxes open to anyone but none on the individual sites. Everything must be stored inside of your LOCKED vehicle due to bear activity. Polebridge is about 30 minutes and they have a small store with the best baked goods. You can drive to Kintla Lake it’s about an hour on the dirt road. Kintla Lake is even more secluded, but worth the drive. I will be returning to Bowman Lake as it was one of my favorite places in Glacier.

  Glacier Campground

  Quiet little Campground

  Nice campground off of Hwy 2 a few miles south of West Glacier and the entrance to Glacier NP. Spaces vary from tent sites up to a few that can accomodate 25-30’ trailers. Laundry and shower facilities are clean. Dogs are welcomed, but no specific areas are set aside to let dogs run. Water and electric hookups, and a dump station is located near the entrance. This is bear country, so leave no garbage or food outside during your visit. Owners are friendly and will do everything possible to try and make your stay enjoyable.
