17 campsites high in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. A 3-mile spur trail connects the campground to the Continental Divide Scenic Trail, and on into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Adjacent Memorial Square commemorates Theodore Roosevelt and the Blackfeet tribe with a miniature Washington Monument. Bears may frequent the area; keep all food out of sight in approved containers and remove all food from area after eating. Mandatory food storage is required.
From East Glacier Park, MT, take US Rt. 2 west 11.3 miles to campground sign. Turn left into campground.
The trains run all night long and are loud as they struggle to push cars up over the mountain. Other than that, it's not bad at all, but can get quite chilly at night, even in summer.
Noisy. Next to highway and train tracks. Statue in pic is of a white man that saw a path made by Native Americans and decided to take it for the railroad. How many died. I Don't agree about taking down statues to erase history but if they're going to do it that's one statue that ought to go.
The campground was very clean and well maintained and beautiful! The only thing that keeps it from being 5 stars is that it's very near the highway, and right across the highway is a train track, so with highway noise and train noise it tends to be a little loud.
