Glacier National Park

Campsites

Wilderness camping is available in 65 designated campgrounds throughout the park, with the exception of the Nyack / Coal Creek camping zone where both designated campgrounds and at large camping are available. Permits

A wilderness use permit is required for all overnight camping, and must be in your possession while in the backcountry. They are valid only for the dates, locations, and party size specified. Trip Itineraries

Itineraries must be contiguous. You cannot exit one trailhead and drive to another trailhead to access campgrounds on the same trip. Note: Hiking short road sections on foot—Many Glacier and Two Medicine developed areas, crossing Going to the Sun Road at Jackson Glacier Overlook—to connect longer itineraries is permitted. Group Size

The maximum party size allowed is 12. Each wilderness campground has 2-7 campsites. Each campsite is limited to four (4) people. Leave No Trace

Many of Glacier’s wilderness camping regulations are based on Leave No Trace (LNT) outdoor ethics. LNT tells us that by concentrating impacts, including eating, sleeping, and human waste disposal, we prevent degradation of a broader area. Concentrating impacts essentially creates small pockets of impact and leaves nearly pristine conditions over larger areas. For more information visit LNT.org.

Lakefront Campsite

We have enjoyed camping lakeside, even though the path down to Lake Waco is steep and a bit tricky.

Truely Amazing!

I love GNP and the hike through the Gunsight Pass isn't complete without a stop by the waterfalls near this campsite. This site comes up very quick after entering in by Jackson Glacier overlook and a lot of folks blow by it but there is a lot of cool stuff to see if you camp out here and explore for a day. As with all the backcountry sites in GNP there is a bear pole available so you just need a carabiner, a rope and your stuff sacks. They advised 25' but really we only needed about 18' or so. There is a cooking area near the bear pole and a pit toilet. While hiking the mosquitoes left us alone but the second we stopped they were all over us. Really glad we stayed here.
