Very clean and quiet. Spacious and relatively private camping spots. Would love to camp here again.

The campground itself was fine, but we didn't find out until we arrived that the showers were out of order. We were advised to use the showers at the Rising Sun campground, but they were also out of order. There were no showers available at all in the east side of the park, even though the NPS website clearly lists free showers as an amenity in the St. Mary campground.

Incredible location and views. However I was disappointed at how close the campsites were to each other. I guess this a product of the crush of visitors and campers that want to use the parks.
The restrooms were clean and well kept.
The park is incredible. The best I have ever been in.

It was nice being inside the park and having daily access to the GTSR. The campground has very little trees and there is absolutely no privacy. Sites are very close together. But our site, C106, had a beautiful view and was close to the restrooms. The showers during our stay in July were unavailable due to construction which was disappointing. The ranger programs were awesome. You can walk from the campground to the St. Mary's visitor center which was nice. There is a dump station and fresh water taps throughout the campground. The restrooms were some of the cleanest I have ever experienced at a campground. I will say that the process of securing a reservation was a nightmare. I sat on my computer six months and a week before our desired dates trying to secure a site every day for 10 days. I ended up having to piece together various sites from what I could secure through the reservation system and the cancellations of those who were lucky enough to actually get through. There has to be a better way!

It was a beautiful location. Just be very careful about the site you pick.

We stayed at campsite A01. We used the app Campflare.org to help us secure a site two days in advance since we missed the 120 day window for reserving ahead of time. Going to the sun Road fully opened on the 13th, so we were able to take the drive on the 14th. We were also able to use campflare to reserve an RV site for my sister's family. In all we were a group of nine. I had traveled with just my husband to glacier fifteen years ago. This trip was planned for my dad and two kids (7 and 11) to see Glacier. My sister's family decided to join too! We hiked Saint Mary's Falls and Virginia Falls with the kids( we are fr Virginia!). We hiked Fishers Cap the next day with my 74 year old dad! We saw a grizzley bear and a Moose! Great dinner at Swift Current Inn. My brother in-law cooked two Dutch oven dinners over the campfire at St. Mary's and the kids got to attend a ranger talk. So thankful to experience the beauty of the crown jewel of America and appreciated the helpful and dedicated staff that that help make it a great experience for all the visitors!

We camped 3 nights at St Mary campground at site B74 and had a lovely time. We did hikes out of the Many Glacier area and one near St Mary along the Going to the Sun Hwy. We were aware of the lack of shade at the campground and prepared accordingly so we had no issues with our stay or our campsite. If you're looking for a campground that offers a little more space and quiet, then I would highly recommend St. Mary!

I thought the campsites were to close together and too small, but I guess that is Glacier. It all depends on what you paid / pay. However the volunteer ranger support was awesome and the toilets were nicer than any airbnb I have stayed in okay that maybe a stretch. But you get the idea. I recommend this over the west entrance to the park. For me, access to the ...sun road was much easier this way and less convoluted. The challenge with Glacier is that, all the really cool things to do, exclusive of the unfettered MT greed outings, can take years to learn. Because of this, pack a huge budget when you get here. If you have a good friend, of which I have none, who knows the park -- foster the relationship; it is equal to a best friend with a boat.
