Apgar Campground

I was pleasantly surprised by this campground. Looking at the map before my arrival I got the impression that Apgar would be like a small city-- it's such a big campground! In person, however, we found that the sites were private and nestled among the trees and bushes. The campground was quiet even though it was nearly at full capacity. We will definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed this campground and walking distance to the visitor center and the little village. Unfortunately the road to McDonald’s lodge was under construction, and very very rough and very muddy.

Campsite was not at all good for car camping, but the rest of the site was full so we lived with it. The Glacier reservation system in mid-Sept is worthless. A lot of "First come First served" (they all filled up in the early morning) or were only released to book a couple of days ahead of time. We found camping in commercial sites just outside of the park to be less restrictive (lots of rules in the park) and much easier to book. They were slightly more expensive but we felt it was worth it.

This site is for RV only. Do not waste your time if you have tents.

The campground location is great! Easy access to the lake and walking distance from the visitors center. The campsite I stayed on wasn't so great. It's far from ideal when you want to camp in a tent, because there's very limited space to actually pitch your tent. The site seemed to be some kind of shared driveway with the two adjacent sites. I guess that would be okay if I had an RV but I couldn't pitch my tent there. So there was only a small spot left between the bushes and the fire pit where I could pitch my tent. It was a bit too far in the bushes and too close to the fire pit if you ask me. Also, there's absolutely zero privacy in this spot. I looked around and noticed there were many better spots than this one, especially those on the other side of the road seemed much more spacious and "hidden" between trees. So if you have the choice: get a different spot.

Very nice check in lady (Marilyn). Found restrooms and showers very clean and laundry facility clean.
Some of our camping spots were too close to the road
