Heritage Cabin Property allows pets throughout its four campsites, which accommodate tents, RVs, and cabin lodging near Trego. The property features both 30-amp and 50-amp electric hookups for RV campers traveling with dogs, along with potable water. Visitors note the convenient fenced yard where dogs can run off-leash while owners enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Several dispersed camping options welcome pets around Trego, including Bull Lake, Stillwater Lake, and Red Meadow Lake, offering primitive camping with fire rings and picnic tables. North Dickey Lake Campground provides pet-friendly sites with vault toilets, operating seasonally from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Upper Whitefish Campground presents another pet-friendly option with lakeside spots surrounded by trees. The campground includes bear boxes for safe food storage, particularly important when camping with pets in this wildlife-rich area. Dogs enjoy swimming in the crystal clear water at this location, though owners should keep pets leashed and supervised due to wildlife encounters including deer, moose, and occasional bears. Campers at Martin Lake mention following game trails with their dogs to explore beyond established camping areas. Seasonal considerations affect pet comfort, as early summer can bring rainy, cool conditions, while mosquitoes become more prevalent at dusk and dawn later in the season. Nearby roads and trails provide ample dog walking opportunities, with most campgrounds requiring pets to remain on leash except in designated areas.

Pet friendly! Kid friendly! Adult friendly!
Great dog park, kids area ok, walking distance to store. Driving (15 min) to Glacier National Park. Restaurants close, wonderful fire pits!
Staff was kind and helpful
ScoutI have stayed at this new RV Resort twice and love it. The spaces are large, the bathrooms and laundry room are clean, they have a super large dog park and the views are unmatched. It is also next door to a beautiful golf course. They also feature a playground, volleyball, community fire pit and trails close by. If you are traveling to northwestern Montana you won't be disappointed.
GuideWe stayed here for 4 nights. 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. Also an adventure park that has go karts, bumper cars, lazy river etc. Great location with so much to do outside the park. We had a corner spot which I really liked for some privacy. Each site has its own fire pit which was nice. Wi-Fi in my opinion worked great. Has a dog park and a little playground for kids. Laundry room and bath houses were very clean. Also has an arcade and loved how they use honesty policy during closed hours where you can pick up firewood or ice and pay the next morning:) I definitely recommend and will come back for another Montana adventure.
ScoutLove that they have 2 dog parks! WiFi is great, campsites are spacious, amenities are easily accessible and you’re a close walk to the village and entrance of the park.
ScoutThe RV Resort at Indian Springs Ranch in Eureka MT is a nice new campground with full hook-ups (power, water, sewer). When I was there last year there were only 30 sites completed with 65 more nearing completion. Everything was new and nice and clean.
There are great views of the near by mountains and the park is adjacent to a wonderful 18 hole championship golf course. There is a small gift shop, miles of walking trails and an off leash dog park. The staff was very friendly.

West Glacier KOA Resort
Most beautiful location of the KOAs I've stayed at. Nestled against the mountains and less than 3 miles to Glacier National Park.
Lots of sites to choose from. Ours was a pull thru with nice vegetation between. Fire pit with benches and picnic table. Some sites are close together with no privacy. Some have gas grills and patio furniture. There are cabins and tent sites as well. Bathhouse was average. The cafe was open for breakfast and dinner.Ice cream shop closed for the season. Amazing pool! Nice play area, dog parks. Really nice camp store, firewood available. KOA Workshop on site. RV wash and dog grooming by appointment.
GuideLOVED our stay here. We got a prized corner spot with privacy of trees. So nice to have a grassy site, too. Super close to West Glacier, East Glacier is much more of a drive, but we knew that. Quiet and peaceful. Some highway noise but not terrible. Great dog park that we thoroughly enjoyed. We were sad to leave after five days!
RangerThis place was nice. The staff was so friendly. Cafe with giant cinnamon rolls hit the spot. Showers were nice and hot. We were in the middle of tall trees which provided shade later in the day. Nice big dog park. Location is close the west Glacier entrance
LegendGreat amenities onsite. The staff was incredibly friendly and kind. The bathhouse near us was a dated design style but very clean and well stocked. Lots of families with kids onsite, I can see why with all the great amenities. During off season kids are allowed to swim in adult pool and hot tubs. Great spacious off leash dog park onsite. A second smaller K9 park onsite was still nicely maintained. It’s snug, so unless you pay for more spacious sites expect to be close to neighbors. Some of the cabin renters were loud with radios blaring but they were on the opposite side of the park so we didn’t report the noise. Plenty of supplies available at store. Some of the sites had lovely views of the mountains. The nature trail at the KOA was very muddy and some sections had such large mud holes that you couldn’t avoid getting your shoes wet. They should put some gravel or something back there. Just be prepared to get your shoes dirty if you walk it. Despite the muddiness, we found it was a lovely nightly loop to walk.
If you plan to drive going to the sun road: make sure it’s open. And be sure and get a reservation/register your vehicle for Glacier/going-to the-sun road if visiting summer 2022. Go eat at Dan d Lion cafe for a crazy savory meal. You won’t believe it’s vegan and gluten free. Insanely good. Great prices in Hungry Horse for souvenirs. West Glacier was definitely the better stay than East Glacier in our opinion. Much more easy access to stores, restaurants, etc. Whitefish MT had the coolest off leash dog park we’ve ever seen! If you have your 4-legged-bff with you - you simply must take your pup to that park (you’re welcome!) Lake McDonald is a great place to see the mountains and take beautiful pictures. You need bear spray if you go hiking anywhere here. Also, no dogs on trails, of course.

Kayaking on clear waters: The pristine lakes in the area provide ideal conditions for paddling.

Seasonal road conditions: Weather impacts access for larger vehicles.

The ground was still pretty wet, in a few spots it could be possible to get stuck."
