We enjoyed our stay here. The location is great to get into Glacier NP. The sites are well shaded, not much for solar if you need it. The site was nice, but if you have a big rig it might be difficult. We have a 30 ft trailer and were okay, but I think you will be better off with smaller rigs. Sunflower cafe was highly recommended and deservedly so. If you need a full hookup, perfectly flat site, this is not your place. If you like the woods with simple and pleasurable camping, this might be your place.

I felt this was one of the nicest camp grounds I have visited in many years! The park is clean and well organized, the staff is cheerful and helpful, and the area is just beautiful. All camp sites are nestled amongst trees in a hilly area. There are restrooms and laundry facilities on site. Most sites have water and electricity, a dump station is available. You can buy fire wood, have it delivered to your camp site. There is a cute cafe on the property serving a variety of food choices, quite nice after a long day hiking in the park. And best of all the campground is probably less than 5 minutes from the West Glacier Entrance to the park!

This campground was located in West Glacier close to the entrance to Glacier National Park. It was remote, wooded, quiet. Some of the spots were close together but if you’re there to visit Glacier you don’t spend a lot of time at your camper. The roads are gravel but they do a nice job of dust control. The back part where we were was up hill but not a problem for us pulling a 5th wheel. The bathrooms were clean. Shower was hot. The staff were friendly. The office area with the adjoining retreat room was very cozy. The Sunshine Cafe was such a treat!! Loved their brisket, pulled pork, cornbread, smoked trout dip, the vegan entree with tofu, black beans, plantains, slaw and coconut rice was delicious!! We missed the breakfast but the menu looked delicious! And the dessert menu looked delicious as well!
