Avalanche Campground is a well-maintained, clean campground with excellent access to popular hiking trails, including Avalanche Lake and the Trail of the Cedars. While some sites lack privacy and amenities like hot showers, the beautiful surroundings and convenient location make it a recommended choice for campers. Visitors appreciate the friendly camp hosts and the serene atmosphere, despite some minor issues with restroom cleanliness and noise.

Awesome campground. Was nice have water fill stations close by. My only complaint was this campground has shared bear box’s which were all full nearby our site so we had to put our stuff in my truck.

A27 large site, not particularly private but perfect for hiking to Avalanche Lake and not having to worry about finding parking. There is a path that links to the trailhead just opposite the site. Drinking tap is opposite but a slightly longer walk to the toilets than expected. Rangers came round regularly as lots of non campers came round requesting to park at our site as couldn’t find parking at the trailhead. Good for a 1 night stay to complete the hike. If you complete the hike, walk right to the other end of the lake for a quieter beach experience. Spotted a bear there and got some peace on a busy trail. Beautiful!

It was a great campsite. Surrounded by the trees and close to everything. The camp post was so nice and I felt very secure. I would definitely go back there again. I need more huckleberry ice cream.

Nice campground and host. Quiet, even though it's near a popular hiking spot.

This was a nice site. The camping areas had trees around, so it felt more private than it could be. Bathrooms were close but at our specific spot the dump area was out of order, so we had to walk further for that. The camp being near the middle of the park was great for access to the highlight areas. It was about 30 minutes to get to West Glacier and an hour to get to Logan Pass. We could live without showers for the convenience of the location.

We stayed at 63b, which is right next to camp hosts (be warned). They can be a bit cold and unfeeling, definitely not the most helpful or considerate hosts. But Ranger Carol is kind, and helped us learned how to better bear proof our setup!
Some facilities were down during our visit. Additionally, wildfire smoke made staying multiple nights difficult. No lights in bathrooms, which is fine but can make night time visits a bit ominous. In a great location, central to all the sites of West Glacier! Would definitely stay at again when wildfires aren’t present.

This was a beautiful place to camp for our first night in Glacier. The water was absolutely beautiful in the creek, and the hike up to Avalanche Lake was well worth the jaunt, stunning scene from a short climb.

Considering there is no electricity or showers overthere this campground is very peaceful and very clean. We were lucky to see a bear in the morning hanging around the campground :)
Another good thing about this site is that it is very close to the Avalanche Lake trailhead, so you don't need to find parking to go for a hike there. That hike was one of the highlights of our trip
