Beautiful campground but could use some practical improvements.
1. Four functional showers with hot water
2. Larger multi-lane dump station. This is a very large campground for a single dump station even the single is super tight such that if more than one user the entrance/exit road is blocked. This also can cause issues if using the dump or fill on check-in or midway through stay. A separate water fill spot would help this situation too.
3. Zero RV spots offering power hookups seems utterly absurd in the 21st century. state/county/private campgrounds are not like this, when will national park campgrounds enter the 20th century?
4. Unnecessarily restrictive generator rules. I witnessed many dogs left in RVs all day without A/C on hot days, this is because of a combination of rules. Dogs essentially must be left in the campground because of the rules. Because of #3 above the A/C cannot be left running for them. Change #3 above and this problem essentially solves itself or, in the mean time, at least allow generators to be run during the full day so that the pets can have A/C at least on hot summer days.

Our campsite was awesome! Very close to restroom, and not too close to other surrounding sites. Also, the east side of Glacier is the quiter side, which we enjoyed; no circling to find parking or anything like that.

The campsite offers a beautiful view of the mountains and is right next to the St. Mary visitors center. Unfortunately, it rained the day that we arrived and there was a huge puddle covering a substantial part of our site, making it hard to park our car and get out without stepping into it. The bathrooms were nice. Note that this campground does not offer much shade.

We were able to make last minute reservations by checking on open campsites at St Mary's on rec.gov app. That allowed us to drive Going to the Sun without a vehicle reservation. Plus, the view from the campgrounds are wonderful, St Mary's Lake is right down the road and the river is a short walk from A loop. We were at the end of a 9 week road trip all over the country and were so glad we were able to include a visit to Glacier at the end of the trip.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
