Mendenhall Campground

Fantastic large sites. Sites are quite a bit away from each other providing privacy and the feel of back country camping. They are well kept and have a secure bear proof storage box and fire place.

The staff have great communication and were super helpful. The location of the campsite itself is great. I would definitely visit again!

It's a disgrace! I received no communication informing me that the campsite was closed due to flooding. I found myself in front of the closed barrier at 9pm after a long ferry crossing without knowing where to go or where to sleep! I travel alone and on foot! I was distraught! And the worst part is that I had to fight to get a refund and you still refuse to refund me the $8 booking fee even though the cancellation was your fault, you didn't notify anyone and I had to pay another, more expensive campsite for my stay! I am outraged by your lack of consideration for your customers!!

We really love this campground. Quite, scenic, close to town if you need anything.

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.

Check location of flush toilet and showers

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.

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.

Love the mendhall campground. Beautiful and peaceful and clean restrooms

Tent camping review. This was a great camp ground. Very clean and quiet. You can't beat the proximity to the park and hiking. Some of the sites even have great views. Each site has plenty of privacy, so even with intermixed RV's it stays pretty quiet. The showers were okay, not the cleanest and not the hottest but got the job done. My only complaint was coming after dark the first night to someone clearly squatting with their RV in our site. The camp hosts do not mark each site with the booked reservations (even though the posts clearly say that the section we were in were "reservation only". So people just drop in and take sites, assuming they aren't reserved. We attempted to solicit the camphosts help but in the 4 nights we stayed there, we never saw the hosts available once. We asked the people to move the next morning in daylight- not wanting to start anything or end up shot by knocking on their door and asking them to move that first night. However, that meant that we set up in someone else's potentially reserved site and started a huge domino effect. So I recommend getting there early to make sure your reserved spot isn't taken.
