Mendenhall Campground offers stunning views of the glacier, well-maintained facilities, and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a top choice for campers. Many reviews highlight the hot showers, cleanliness, and spacious sites with good spacing and privacy. Some minor drawbacks include noise from nearby roads and occasional late-night disturbances, as well as the locked gate after 10 PM, but overall, guests have had wonderful experiences and appreciated the campground's natural beauty and excellent amenities.

Sewer connection is cumbersome. Inlet to campground sewer is higher than output of RV. This makes for some very interesting work.
Also, the freshwater flow is very slow.

Breathtaking view, nice walking paths. Close to town if you need supplies.

Noticed that most the sites were empty yet showed not available when renting a site. This was thru most of the summer which was a little inconvenient when wanting a sewage site. Other than that love the campground! The staff were always friendly and facility was always clean.

Ferry didnt run and ended up having to switch campsites everyday for 4 days and all campsites are booked but nobody uses them. No staff around and no wood. I forgot once some food and cooking equipment in the bearbox and went to retrieve them 2 hours later and all food had been thrown in garbage and glass jars broken so all was ruined, the cooking equipment the ”staff” stole and I had to dig out my food from the trash pin and call around all numbers that dont answer or call back. Unbelievable. Never use a campsite in the US again.

Campground is great. $8 in fees for a $10 site is ridiculous.
