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.

Beware! When we were gone into town for an hour and a half someone stole our 2 camp chairs and all our firewood. This was the first time in all our year of camping that we couldn’t, leave stuff in our campsite when we weren’t there. Since we have to drive our RV when we leave we usually leave something in the site so people know it is occupied.

  • Same-day reservations are allowed if sites are open.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
