Apgar Campground

We enjoyed Apgar, but it’s definitely a big & busy place. Our site (D158) was close to the road & group camping - and the group camping was loud while we were there. Close to the bathrooms & hikes & Apgar village were easily accessible.

Beautiful setting and the best amphitheater I've seen in a National Park.

The campsite was on a terrible slant and leveling blocks could only do so much. Many other campsites were also far from level. It was brutally hot and no electrical and short generator hours meant a very uncomfortable stay.

We recently stayed at site B110 and had a really pleasant stay! Here is the quick breakdown of what to expect if you book this spot:
* The Perks: The site is beautiful, nice, and wonderfully shaded. The location is also incredibly convenient. You are just a short walk away from both the restrooms and the fresh water source.
* The Space: Keep your setup minimal. This site is suited for one tent. There simply isn't enough flat, usable ground to comfortably pitch a second tent.
If you are a solo camper, a couple, or a group with a single-tent setup, B110 is a fantastic, convenient choice. If you have a multi-tent crew, you'll want to look for a slightly larger site!

Its in a great location and the sites are a decent size. Overall it was a good stay, buy some of the facilities are a huge inconvenience. There are only 3 showers for the whole campground and they are all located in one building in one spot, so the furthest loops have to walk a long ways and then wait in line for the showers. Also, there are really limited places to wash dishes/dump dishwater.

This campground was very nice and close to Apgar village. We had to go see the campground ranger as soon as we arrived to confirm our stay. They were very helpful in telling us about the shower location and washing sink. Should definitely stop by Apgar village for kayaking and ice cream. If going to the trails nearby (i.e. avalanche lake) I recommend driving to McDonald lodge and using the shuttle as parking around some trails get full by 8am in the summer time.

Apgar is the perfect base for Glacier adventures. Many of the tent campsites have generous space and we were able to put up 2 tents - including 1 SUV tent in the driveway. Our bathroom in loop C didn’t have soap, bring your own. All sites were occupied, but we were the only people using the communal bear box 3 sites over (car open due to SUV tent). The showers (3 or 4 total) are located in loop A for the whole campground. We went for showers around 5pm on a Monday and waited 5-10 mins. We had 1 bar Verizon cell service at our campsite and the Visitor Center wi-fi was slow, but worked.

Great campground, well maintained, clean bathrooms, easy access to the park.

Note: Read the site descriptions because some of them are adjacent to the road and if you are bringing an RV, the door may open to the road.

We stayed at the Apgar Campground for three nights, and it was a great base camp for activities in Glacier National Park. The volunteer rangers were helpful, cheerful, and informative, including our camp hosts Mickey and Carol. We also attended programs every night in the amphitheatre and learned a lot from them. Our sight was clean and well-organized. The nearby bathroom had a power outlet that didn't work and I had to do some creative maneuvering to get out of the toilet stall because the door opens inward.

We arrived by train with only backpacks, so the bear-proof food lockers were a godsend. Also, the rangers did a good job enforcing food safety rules with frequent patrols. Overall, we had a very positive experience.

Good base for exploring west part of Glacier.
