Many Glacier Campground

no shower facility nearby

Spent two nights there and that was enough. We were lucky enough to be placed next to a very large and LOUD family. Both nights we had to ask them multiple times to lower the volume during quiet hours.
We had driven a VERY long time to get to glacier so after driving 36 hours, we were exhausted. The group, probably about 20 ft away, was made up of at least 10-15 people and were extremely loud. I’m all for having a good time but while continuing to be considerate of others especially during quiet hours. We ask them if they could lower their voices and they obliged. Needless to say, I had overheard a convo between them saying the people before us also complained about their volume.
Next night, it was the exact same issue. This time they were loud until midnight after asking them multiple times.
The following morning, we got up early to leave. Ran into the camp host (who were in the site directly across from us) mentioned how they were debating whether to say something to the group because they were also bothered by their volume. That should say something that even the camp host was bothered by them BUT they didn’t say anything! What’s the point of having a host then?
When we made the reservation, we thought it was a generator free campsite. Turns out it’s broken up into zones and our lovely neighbors started theirs at exactly 8am...

I wouldn’t recommend this site. Go to sites that are first come first serve. Those usually don’t have large families and have more room between sites.

Amazing experience! Can't wait to return

Campground facilities pros: easy access to trailheads, easy access to water, toilets, campground store within walking distance for forgotten items/replenishment. Nice campground hosts, near ranger station.

Camp ground was wonderful. Close to amazing trails. Iceberg lake and cracker lake were great. We saw a lot of wildlife including bears, moose, marmots, mountain goats, and more. Only negative is that showers are not available at this area right now. It makes no sense how not showering for a week is safer for covid than taking a shower every day and being clean.

Most wonderful campsite I ever stayed at. Was sorry to leave…

great hiking location

We stayed at R028 for a night. It was OK for a night for two people. Conveniently located near by the parking lots of the Swiftcurrent lodge but also right next to the path way to the bathroom building so lots traffic.

beatiful clean well keeped campground. Paulette the campground host was very pleasant and freindly

Let me start off with the good: Obviously, 5 stars for the location. Easy access to many epic trailheads. A moose and her baby were in our campground three times during our seven night stay. How cool is that?

Now, the not so good:
1. ) You'll have to be at your computer right when reservations open up, frantically pushing the *book now" button and praying it ends up in your cart. Otherwise, you'll be checking recreation.gov every spare second you get and hope you time it right and snag a cancellation.
2.) Major road construction to get to MG, so expect delays. The road that hasn't been fixed is gravel filled, bumpy and full of potholes.
3.) It's bear country! The rangers patrol like crazy and will cite you. Every time you leave your campground, you will need to pack up anything that can attract bears (camp stoves, coolers, water bottles, tablecloths!). So at least twice a day, we packed up almost everything. Annoying, but understandable.
4.) Designated generator hours three times a day, in the middle of the day. Sites range from shady to sunny. Our site was semi shady, so we had to sit around in the middle of the day to make sure our refrigerator had enough power so our food wouldn't spoil during a heatwave. Obviously, that limited our daily activities.
5. We stayed seven nights. My friends had to piecemeal three separate reservations at three separate campsites. At check in, the ranger said the only way we could check cancellations and extent the stay at the site was to go on recreation.gov. Not helpful at all considering there is ZERO cell service.
6. Lastly, it was really sad to see that a lot of reserved sites were no shows. Given how difficult it is to secure a site, this was so not cool.

Vicious bugs everywhere. We had two Theramacells, citronella wristbands and bug spray and still got eaten alive. Yes, I know this is the great outdoors.

We have visited and camped at over 20 NPs and this was the poorest run by far.
