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.

Campsite was great, it was next to the lake and a water faucet nearby for drinking water and for cooking. The restroom facilities were conveniently located. It was quiet and no one was too close to our campsites.

Absolutely beautiful location for a campground. Most of the sites are a pretty decent size. Biggest complaint is that the showers are locked until 8am and then again from "some time in the afternoon/evening" as the host said. No set time for relocking, just seemed to be based on whenever the host felt like doing it. After a day of hiking we returned at 4pm to find the showers had already been locked foe the evening and ended up paying to go for a swim at a local pool so we could shower afterwards. I'm not sure of the logic behind locking the showers during the morning and evening hours when people are actually at camp. Also, bring your own hand soap as they don't provide any in the washrooms.

I loved this campground. The site I used was absolutely perfect with great tree coverage, a nice large picnic table and fire pit. The washrooms and showers were close by and very clean (with hot water, yay!). I know in some camp spots you can have good views of the glacier. The road is well maintained and just overall I had a really great experience here.
