Two Medicine Campground

Two Medicine is beautiful! There are views of the surrounding mountains from everywhere in the campground, and the sites fronting the lake are especially beautiful, though with little shade. The sites vary greatly in size and slope, so we'd recommend picking your site carefully based on your equipment. Our site, B46, was small and sloped. It worked well for us with a small tent, and two small tents would be fine, but a 6+ person tent might not do well, and leveling an RV could be difficult. Lots to do: days of outstanding hiking from trailheads at the campground, a beautiful lake for boating, abundant wildlife (a flock of bighorn sheep more or less lives in the campground). The evening campfire programs are also top notch--the two we saw were great for both kids and adults! All the staff we engaged with were great! Things to keep in mind. (1) The Two Medicine area is excellent grizzly habitat, and there are bears around. While we were there a sow grizzly and two cubs passed through the picnic area, so you should be comfortable with that possibility and being bear-aware in how you handle food at your site is very important for the safety of both bears and people. (2) There's a general store at Two Medicine, but it is not a full-service camp store--limited equipment, snack food but not groceries, though they do serve breakfast and lunch, which is nice. You should be able to find what you need in East Glacier. (3) The road to the campground is very rough in some places. We saw other reviews mention that, so we were careful on our drive, and we were grateful to have the heads-up, because the potholes are terrible in several spots. If you don't prepare with a bit of care, there are ways to have a bad experience at Two Medicine, but with a bit of prep, Two Medicine offers an outstanding front-country camping experience: it's a unique Glacier treasure!

Quiet, clean, and so picturesque

Beautiful campground. The old goat presentation by the ranger was extremely well done.

Family of 5, all agreed this was the favorite campsite of this summer (out of ~10 campsites). Bighorn sheep everywhere! Saw 2 moose at paradise point ponds. 8 mi hike around the lake. Beautiful!

Solid campsite with some goat visitors. They didn't seem too aggressive, but really enjoyed finding the food people left out in the campfire rings. I didn't see them again once I had set the tent up. The bathrooms were far enough away but still convenient. I enjoyed my time on this side of the park over the other side. It seemed more laid back and hiking focused whereas the other side seemed like a battle for shuttle seats.
