Campsites
Wilderness camping is available in 65 designated campgrounds throughout the park, with the exception of the Nyack / Coal Creek camping zone where both designated campgrounds and at large camping are available.
Permits
A wilderness use permit is required for all overnight camping, and must be in your possession while in the backcountry. They are valid only for the dates, locations, and party size specified.
Trip Itineraries
Itineraries must be contiguous. You cannot exit one trailhead and drive to another trailhead to access campgrounds on the same trip. Note: Hiking short road sections on foot—Many Glacier and Two Medicine developed areas, crossing Going to the Sun Road at Jackson Glacier Overlook—to connect longer itineraries is permitted.
Group Size
The maximum party size allowed is 12. Each wilderness campground has 2-7 campsites. Each campsite is limited to four (4) people.
Leave No Trace
Many of Glacier’s wilderness camping regulations are based on Leave No Trace (LNT) outdoor ethics. LNT tells us that by concentrating impacts, including eating, sleeping, and human waste disposal, we prevent degradation of a broader area. Concentrating impacts essentially creates small pockets of impact and leaves nearly pristine conditions over larger areas. For more information visit LNT.org.

had a great time. beautiful views and well worth the difficulty.
I was at this camp back in 2015 and it was a great place to camp. Woke up to wolves howling a great place to reflect on life an living. Top notch!
I was here in late June of 2018. The bugs were very bad. Mosquitos were biting me through several layers of clothes. It's illegal to build a fire and there are no fire pits either. The hike in was very brutal, narrow track, uneven and the mosquitos swarm you if you stop for even a second. I would not repeat this hike. The views were nice but even with layers of clothes, a bug net, and bug spray the mosquitos really made this one a rough journey.
Beautiful view right on the beach. If you do the loop, I recommend going the south to north route.
