Campsite was great, very quiet at night, clean when we arrived, felt very safe with the bear boxes and rangers nearby. Some leftover firewood from previous guests, showers nearby, village had wide arrangement of essential and non-essential items, beach perfect for swimming after a long day of hiking. Cabins looked very tempting for next year’s vacation.

Ok you know you are in a super touristy area, but this place is still dishing out extremely fresh and quality pizza. Great dough, great cook (though wish the undercarriage was crispier), great pepperoni's. Great ranch. Honestly no complaints, hit the spot after a long day of exploring Glacier.

Nice site with 4 tent pads, and room for more. Close to the bathrooms, visitor center, and Apgar. Bathrooms left some things to be desired, but they were clean.

For our last dinner in West Glacier, we decided on pizza and it hit the spot.

We got a pepperoni with extra cheese and man it was delicious. Cupped pepperoni is my favorite and I was excited to see it on there. I got a couple cups of hot honey to drizzle on the pizza and it could have been hotter, but it was yummy regardless.

The next time we’re here I won’t hesitate to grab a pizza from them!

This place is a good stop to grab food before or after the park, but be prepared to spend a lot of dough. For a GF pizza, a 12 inch pizza, a salad, bottled water, and beer was $80. Everything was delicious, but I wasn't expecting the bill to be so high. They do use real pepperoni because the edges curl up. They have seating, but it is only outdoors, but almost all of the tables have an umbrella. Sitting area are round iron picnic style circular tables.
