So this is our favorite west of the Mississippi. It is in a huge, I mean huge meadow with mountains surrounding. The pull throughs are ok- would like them wider. The back ins are amazing and private. We have T-mobile and had zero service. But we didn’t have it for 30 miles in either direction. They had decent WIFI so we could stay conn...moreSo this is our favorite west of the Mississippi. It is in a huge, I mean huge meadow with mountains surrounding. The pull throughs are ok- would like them wider. The back ins are amazing and private. We have T-mobile and had zero service. But we didn’t have it for 30 miles in either direction. They had decent WIFI so we could stay connected. There is no on site dump. There is a dump station. We stayed 5 nights no problem. Dumped on the way out. This is half way between the East and West park entrances so it’s not close to any town. It’s the kind of campground I crave.
Getting away from the crowd!

We would definitely stay here again. Loved the serenity, the stars, our site in the woods (and they have sites in a huge meadow), the staff/hosts. Yes this campground is not In any of the main Glacier regions. It’s quiet and you get used to hearing the trains going through. Not loud but they are present.

Yes this campground is not In any of the main Glacier regions. It’s quiet and you get used to hearing the trains going through. Not loud but they are present. There is no cell and limited WiFi. The park brings in cell via a booster at the main pavilion for a 2 bar signal on Verizon. There is also WIFi at the pavilion. We enjoyed having just enough cell/WiFi access to get our quick calls and messages out. Otherwise, at the site we felt completely off line. For us that was a great break from the hustle. The hosts deliver a great load of wood to your site for $6. The sites are spacious and pretty private if in the woods. The water hookup is quirky but the hosts go out of their way to make it work. They don’t have sewer hookups, yet they will pump your tank for you with a portable pump truck. 4 stars because the bathrooms could have been cleaner, though I used them a bunch. The shower heads were perfect for someone 5 ft tall. Quite low for a six footer. Love the access to fishing the creeks in Glacier or the Bob on the South Side of the park. Caught some beautiful trout and forded the Middle Fork of the Flathead. NIce bike ride to Marias pass and look forward to hiking and fishing at the pass next trip. From Glacier Meadow you can drive to the East or the West side of the Glacier NP.

First, the positive: pleasant surroundings, fairly quiet location (other than occasional road and train noise), can accommodate big rigs (though these should stay to the open meadow area as the wooded part is extremely tight as is the dump station).Negatives* Hook ups: No sewer at site (though black tank pumping can be arranged through the office). Grey water is dumped on the ground at the site. * Location: Though on the edge of Glacier NP, it's actually pretty inconvenient for the park itself (45 min to Apgar and Two Medicine, 1.5 hours to St Mary an Many Glacier, 2 hours to Logan).* Connectivity: There is no cell reception at all and despite the advertised "wireless internet" mentioned on the park's website, in practice there is almost nothing available. Wifi is not working most of the time and is extremely slow when it does work (even by RV park standards) plus it's only available at the Pavilion (not throughout the park). We found it to be unusable, even just for email, as when it did show that we had connectivity the signal would be so weak that practically nothing would load. There is also a cell booster at the Pavilion. However, due to the minimal cell reception, this is not very useful (still zero signal for AT&T and just one bar for Verizon). * The Pavilion: Watch your head and where you step. There are dozens of birds living in the rafters of the Pavilion and bird poop is all over the floor, which never seems to be cleaned. I can't imagine anyone wanting to spend "quality" time with their family and friends in there!* Bathrooms: These were pretty uninviting (and I'm not picky).* Policy: We'd booked for 8 nights, but decided to leave early as we need connectivity to run our businesses while on the road. Despite the booking confirmation stating a 1-night penalty for cancellations, when I spoke to staff I was told very abruptly that they do not offer refunds and I would therefore forfeit the entire cost of my stay. We had booked and paid on-line prior to arrival and nowhere did I see any mention of this rule. Also, I can't find this rule on their website. All I saw was a small sign in the office that mentioned this rule - not a lot of use if you've already paid). We left anyway as we felt it was better to double-pay than stay here any longer.In summary, unless you are wanting to disconnect fully from the world, and you're not planning on visiting Glacier NP and you don't mind bird poop, I would skip this RV park.
