Glacier Campground is located just one mile from the west entrance of Glacier National Park and is the closest privately owned campground to the park, known for “the way camping used to be!” Our heavily wooded 40 acre campground is surrounded by the Flathead National Forest. West Glacier Village provides many activities including golf, mini golf, shopping, rafting, horseback rides and helicopter tours. There are also many options for great local dining. Outdoor lovers will love staying at with us

We stayed here the night before entering Glacier and the night after leaving. The campground is great, lots of trees and good amenities for traveling such as showers, dish washing station, laundry, garbage, etc. The front desk ladies were super nice and helpful. The only reason we gave a 4 star rating is because they closed one of the shower/bathroom facilities for cleaning right during the time everyone is trying to get showered and packed up before check-out. Because of this, half the people in our group didn’t get showers before we had to leave. Other than that it was a great stay. Thank you!
We stayed at Glacier campground for 4 nights in July. We have camped many nights and this was our first experience with a private campground, and unfortunately quite disappointing. We camped in a teardrop trailer. This campground has absolutely no advantage at all over a state or government owned campground. Here are some details about our experience.
First the pros:
- shaded campsites are nice for hot summer days
- laundry facility
- great location very close to the park entrance.
- Staff was pretty friendly and helpful.
The cons:
- Our site was VERY close to our neighbors site. The website does not provide any pictures from sites so it is more difficult to choose a site that fits your needs.
- Our electricity and water hookup were on opposite sides of our campsite, which makes for unnecessary trip hazard within our campsite, and it just doesn't make any sense. We've never seen this before.
- Shower and bathroom facilities were completely outdated and the shower layout does not make any sense. You have to pass through one shower stall to get to the next shower stall. Exposed electricity cables in wet areas is just dangerous.
- The campground only has 1 (yes your read it correctly, only 1!) old sink for dishes at the bottom of the campground. This location does not make any sense with all the tentsites located at the far end of the campground. We had to carry our bucket with sink waste water down the hill to this one sink every day to dispose of.
- This was by far the most expensive campground we ever stayed at with no advantages over cheaper ones. We have stayed in state parks and government campground in various states (OR, WA, WY, MT, ID etc.) and paid less than half of the nightly cost with better facilities. For us, it was definitely overpriced and not worth it.
Quite possibly the best campground I have ever stayed at! We stayed 3 nights in a tent site near the cabins on our recent trip to Glacier National Park, and our stay was incredibly relaxing after long days of hiking. The campground is conveniently located by West Glacier, and is clean and peaceful with great amenities. The Sunflower Cafe was a great place to grab BBQ and a beer after a long day, and the camp staff have lots of friendly pets that frequent the lounge area. #weloveponcho!
Will definitely stay here again on our next trip.
We loved this place! The sites were wooded and plenty spacious for privacy! We camped last weekend in Sept., and it was so peaceful and without insects. Location was so close to Glacier. We travel with our Diesel Motorhome and needed a car to drive around the park, so we rented a Suburb form Glacier Specifically Car Rental which is only 16 min drive to pick it up. We stayed in the back of the park, and barely heard the train. Great Friendly Staff! We love supporting non commercialized campgrounds.
