Glacier can get really packed between about the 4th of July and the end of summer. Try to get a spot inside the park (check the Glacier website), then try to get a spot in Johnson's in St. Marys. Then just get a spot where ever in St Marys. Final option, KOA! Good luck.

When all else fails....

You certainly won’t get bored here. There are lots of things to keep the kids busy so you don’t even have to leave the campground. The store, laundry and bathhouse were all nice. I was a bit nervous about navigating this place though. The loops were tight and the sites very close. Most sites will need work to level campers. We picked the wrong weekend to visit as it was full! It was pretty noisy and very busy all evening. On a more  quiet weekend, I would love to visit again. 

Lots to offer

This entire park is beautiful! The picturesque mountains make for beautiful pictures.

Stunning Area

we planned a last minute trip (2weeks in advance) to Glacier NP in mid July. These guys still had tent sites available for the four nights we wanted. it’s a bit of a trek to the NP (40 minutes) but it’s not horrible time. 

our site was nice and tucked off in the trees on the edge, but near the showers. they also provide free breakfast in the morning. newish washers/dryers were great too since we were starting a two week trip. 

would definitely stay again if we couldn’t get something closer to Glacier. 

we didn’t use the pool or hot tub but they looked nice and clean. they have a nImber of games outside and vIdeo games If you need entertaInment. the showers were good, lots of hot water. 

good, inexpensive option for last minute trip 

What a beautiful place to be and to camp. Mountains surround you everywhere you look. Kalispell is such a wonderful little town that is surrounded by so much outdoor activity. This is a great place to camp because there are so many different activities you can participate in. Hiking is great here. I would suggest looking up places to hike near Kalispell and Whitefish. The lake at Whitefish is one of my favorites. People are kayaking, boating, SUP, swimming, and so much more. If you have a boat, I would recommend brining it here. We found a great picnic area with a dock and hung out here all day. The weather was perfect. Within Kalispell there are some great places to eat. There is a sandwich shop in town that is incredible. They have cinnamon rolls that are gigantic, and super yummy. They have gluten free options which I needed. Highly recommend coming here. Right across the street is a yummy ice cream shop (they have dog ice cream too for your 4 legged friend!). Great town to walk in if you aren't planning on doing any hiking.

Gorgeous

Great Location, they have several different camping locations to pick from. You can rent a cabin, ground tent sight or normal back in parking. Half of the camping spots are covered with pine trees. Great little place to eat (pizza) on location.

Hidden just outside Whitefish MT




Wonderful little campground located just south of Whitefish Montana on highway 93. This KOA has a lot to offer from cabins to RV parking and several tent camping locations. 
Just a few minutes drive north and you will enter the small ski town of Whitefish Montana. Plenty of places to eat, shop or buy your groceries. 
During the summer months be sure to visit Whitefish Lake. 
20 minute drive east and you will arrive in West Glacier Park. 
This RV park is located in a wooded area and is very family friendly with a local pizzeria on site. 


Conveniently located in Whitefish MT.

This unassuming park was a delight. Lots of trees, quiet, lovely hosts. Sights 17-20 are the gem of the bunch, particularly 19. We stayed here and at West Glacier KOA and I’d come back here in a heartbeat. This was really our style - incorporated in to the local environment, not overly landscaped, and large sites. 

Gorgeous natural feeling park!

This is a really fun spot a little ways off busy Hwy. 93. You got your mini golf, outdoor go carts, paddle boats, arcade, donkey petting, pizza and all level of camp sites - ‘dry’ non-water sites around $50-60/night, glamping yurt-like structures (more expensive) and cabins (higher wallet sucking). The dry sites are in a pretty forest area a bit off from all the shiny, gigantic RVs (this is Whitefish after all), so that’s a nice touch. This is a light-hearted, full service and colorful spot, though scenically not an ‘A’ in this gorgeous of a state and not all that budget friendly if your idea of a good time doesn’t involve pinball or Skittles. 

Get Your Kids Addicted to Camping

This campground has it all.  Lots of fun for the kids with mini golf, bikes, paddle boats, and arcade games.  Lots of spaces.  Free breakfast in the morning was a great touch.  We were able to get laundry done and take a shower before heading to Glacier. 

Family fun close to Glacier 

I enjoyed stopping at Whitefish KOA. KOA sits in between Whitefish and North Kalispell. Park was clean and staff was friendly 

Clean and friendly 

If you’re looking for family friendly, this is your spot. Lots of kids activities. Free breakfast. Washrooms, showers and laundry facility available. Scenically, it’s not very pretty. Sites are very close together with little privacy. Our spot was so small we couldn’t fit our tent, picnic table and fire pit in it. We had to park somewhere else, and move the picnic table our. If you prefer exploring nature and quiet, this isn’t the park for you.

Family friendly, not really “camping”

We went on a 5 week roadtrip and used koas most of the time. They are easy to use, well priced, and normally very friendly
