Apgar Campground

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.

Tent village experience is unfortunately dependent on those who camp around you. A few years back I had a nice quiet experience. This year kids running screaming and crying, cars idling all morning… not so quiet.

The campground is lovely, at the heart of the forest, which helps keeping it cooler.
Our spot in the loop B was nice but beware there is only a small level spot for like a 25 ft RV or trailer (max!!), the rest is a huge slope down where you won’t get anything level and won’t be able to park your RV. You could park the car in the slope.
The spot is very close to the bathrooms.
We had enough signal (Google Fi / AT&T) to use basic internet. The evening programs at the amphitheaters (7pm) are great.

Nice campground with great walking paths, kayak and SUP facilities. Had a great smashburger at Eddies so there was no need to leave the park for dinner. Good value for the money, especially for those with Lifetime Senior Pass. I’ll be back!

Only 1 shower house for all sections of the campground. Best part was within walking distance to
Apgar Village

Great campground, clean bathrooms, great sites, and easy walking to Lake McDonald. What a great place!
