Canyon RV is in the Big Rig book - so being 45' we selected it for our week-long stay in the Glacier area. It's a great location and the staff are super friendly and helpful. The grounds are pretty and it's very quiet. BUT: it's very, very tight. We struggled to get into our site; and are a tad concerned about getting out of it as well. Our site is gravel (as is the entire place) and we can't get completely level. We do have WiFi at our spot; but the connection is sometimes spotty. Not a big deal since the Big Rig book said WiFi wasn't even available at the sites (so I guess that means any connection is a bonus). We'd recommend Canyon RV - but maybe not if you're as big as we are (45') and you're not an expert at parking (as we're not). Happy Travels! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is very well maintained and it is obvious that the owners take a lot of pride in it. The grounds are very attractive with flowers, birdhouses and green grass between sites. The sites are gravel and there are beautiful, mature trees for shade but it is not too heavily wooded. Both the owners and the hosts were very helpful and friendly. The sites are an OK size but we were here when there were hardly any other rigs and so don't know what it would look like with rigs on either side of us. If TV is important to you, you will be disappointed. I don't know about satellite, but our antenna only picked up 3 channels (NBC, ABC and PBS) and they were a little fuzzy. The WIFI is better than it was when we arrived. The owner bought a new modem and that has improved performance, but it still bogs down now and then. As far as the previous reviewer's complaint about the cancellation policy, that person is correct. I knew of this policy because I asked when I made the reservation. The information was not volunteered. The cancellation policy is more extreme than other places and so, for that reason, I feel it should be posted on the website and it is not. We would return here again but would probably not make a reservation. We camped here in a Motorhome.
CAUTION: This campground has a 50% cancellation fee for any cancelled reservation regardless of the notification period. We gave them over a month advance notice and we were denied our request for a full refund of our deposit of $215. I have a detailed spreadsheet with all our reservations including specific notes for cancellation policies and I have no notes in my records regarding this severe cancellation policy, so I don't believe we were told of such a policy when we made our reservation. Also, there is nothing on their web site that documents their cancellation policy. Buyer beware! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here 5 nights in a 31' motorhome. Prices go down after Labor Day. It is very conveniently located to Glacier and the towns of Hungry Horse and Columbia Falls. The park is well maintained and the owners have a wonderful laundry that you use by appointment so no waiting for a machine! Highly recommend for a visit to Glacier. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Many pull-thru sites. Great WiFi. 8 miles from Glacier National Park entrance and nearby to Huckleberry Patch store. Gravel interior roads and sites with some grass. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Hours for laundry and hot showers a little limited. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice clean park with nice, level pull through sites. It is only 8 miles to the West entrance to Glacier National Park. The owners stay on site in a fifth wheel and had a very nice Work camper couple assisting them. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice spot that we used as a base for Glacier Park, Whitefish and Big Mountain. Narrow/shallow sites but they had us park the truck on the site in back. You get a half sized table because the site is so narrow. Very nice washer/dryer room but very expensive. A really pleasant place to stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We selected this campground based on the reviews here. There are full hookup and electric-water only sites. Price paid reflects Good Sam discount of 10% for E/W site. This place does have nice woodsy feel and the sites are well spaced, but the sites are narrow - not wide enough to open the awning in most cases. The campground is on a hill and the sites are carved into it, making leveling a major issue. There were many big rigs in the campground, but I don't honestly know how they were able to maneuver the narrow roads and avoid the trees. The restrooms and showers are clean and the showers have excellent water pressure. The restroom/shower building that is separate from the office has a problem with the locking (it has a code to punch in for access) and so sometimes you can't get in and they have to reset it, a problem in the early morning hours. The restrooms/showers at the office reportedly have more reliable locks. There are many campgrounds in this area west of Glacier National Park so I would choose another one next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wow!! We read the reviews on this site, and pulled in without a reservation, fingers crossed. We were in luck, they had a partial hookup spot available for the 3 nights we wanted. It was a gorgeous wooded setting, and the fishing pond was great fun for the kids. Wi-Fi was not quite strong enough to reach us up at the very top (site 18), but worked very well when I sat down on one of the swings by the fishing pond. Very convenient to Glacier park. The Going to the Sun road at Glacier Park was closed as of the end of June 2008, due to late snow. That was pretty disappointing, but we still had a great time exploring the Lake MacDonald area and just hanging out at this park! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful place if you like camping in the trees. Place is clean & tidy. Small fishing pond on site if you take some gear. Catch & release or pay by the inch to keep. We have been there several times and keep returning. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great campground, heavily wooded terraced layout, feels more like a national park than a commercial campground. Gravel site. Only 30 amps. We managed to get satellite, but park is heavily treed. Very nice!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
What a great park!!! The owner appeared a little sour at first, probably because of all the wildfires and smoke, but was very willing to allow us to choose a more secluded site. They have done a very good job of laying out their park. Extremely relaxing, peaceful. Would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This gem of an RV park is perfect for those who want the amenities of an RV park but the setting of a forested campground. Sites are large and generously spaced apart, separated by trees and foliage. Easy access to all sites. Interior roads are good dirt as are the sites. The on-site store has a nice gift shop. Good laundry facilities (really clean). No playground to speak of, but a catch and release fishing pond was well utilized. Compared to the other "parking lot" style RV parks in the area, this was a real find. Our only complaint is that management needs to find a way to keep the dust down from the roadways. 15 minutes from the West Glacier entrance makes this place well situated. This is the only place at West Glacier that we will stay in the future. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is great. Even though the wireless only works down by the office and there is no pool the serenity of each campsite makes up for it. The bathrooms were immaculate (including showers). Location to West Glacier and other attractions is perfect. Friendly hosts and lots of friendly campers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground has a very nice mountain setting, with the spaces arranged along a treed mountain side. This is not the typical parking lot or field. Positives include: trout pond, gift store, movie rentals, and cabin rentals. The only negative is the typical close spacing. Sites 1-28 are closer to the road with more road noise. Sites 30-56 are a farther from the road. Site 17 has the most space with a nice patch of grass, however it is a shorter back-in. Very close to Glacier National Park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Beautiful setting in the wooded hills. Sites resemble a state park rather than a private campground but this campground had full-hookups. A little noise from the road, but nothing that would keep me awake at night or from coming back. This looked like the nicest campground anywhere in this area, from the few we saw. Campfire pits at every campsite. Sites very large and private. Close to west entrance of Glacier. I would definitely camp here again if ever in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice park close to Glacier National Park. Very clean bathrooms and showers. You will need to ask for Satellite TV and Wireless site as many sites have trees. Wireless Internet was the best in months 36-48 kbs! Stated they were in the process of improving. Most other parks should follow their lead We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was the nicest park we have camped in our 2 yrs. of RVing. Lots of trees sites not right on top of each other. Campground hosts were very nice. Excellent location for Glacier NP. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is one of the best RV parks we have ever stayed in. Even though it does not have cable tv, and limited WiFi, we still give this park a 10. It has all the attributes of a great state park with all the amenities of a private park. The sites are very well laid out and provide nice separation from each other. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our campsite was level except for a drop off where we parked our car, but we had no problem getting our 40' motorhome in here w/the car attached. If wifi is important to you, ask for a spot behind the office (we had #12) because it's a DSL system that doesn't reach all over the park very well. There's a pond where you can fish w/out a license. We caught a 13" rainbow trout that was tasty! Very wooded and state-park like. Only thing that would make it better is to have cable because w/out a dish (like us) there's only 1 station (NBC). Oh...and the only cell phones that work out here are ones on Verizon. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground, however, the whole campground is on rolling hills and the sites are not level. Our fifthwheel is 34 feet long and we could just get it on the site. If you have a coach longer than 30 feet, I would recommend some other campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice, quiet cg on the SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN with pines all around. We liked the cg but the site we had was TOO short and narrow for our 31' 5er. We had a hard time parking our TV on site and pulling out was tough too. NO television reception so we couldn't watch weather reports but cell phone worked. Nice pond by the office with benches and swings around it, beautiful view of Mts from pond and office. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice park. Sites were as described on the web site - shaded and mostly level. The WiFi service was excellent and we were within a reasonable distance from Glacier National Park. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We enjoyed this Park immensely for the rugged outdoor experience! Private and spacious heavily treed sites, some very hilly, and a beautiful mountain view. We appreciated how quiet the Park was at night. There is a small trout pond for children to fish, but no playground equipment nor recreational facility. We enjoyed having a campfire at our site. The women's bathroom and showers were exceptionally clean and comfortable. We needed WIFI, but even after moving to three different sites, reception was spotty at best. No phone service available. Office staff was most pleasant and hospitable. All in all, a very enjoyable visit to Mountain Meadow. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place to stay and visit the National Park. The sites are well separated level pull throughs among trees and bushes. The campground is well maintained and the staff is friendly. We stayed over the fourth and the campground owners put on a fireworks display and ice cream social. It was the best! We stayed here for 5 days which seemed like only 2. We would deffinently stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We are at this RV Park as I write this review thru their WiFi system. The sites are very rustic with lots of trees and privacy. Not all sites get the WiFi because of the density of the trees. TV antenna will pick up 4 stations. The owners are very accommodating in letting you pick out the site you want. We're here for 5 nights. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We enjoy campgrounds in a natural setting with sound conservation practices. For comfort
we expect certian standard ammenities. We were not disapponted in any case! All sites were quite nice and lent themselves to a refreshing amount of privacy. Owners and staff are very respectful towards the privacy of guests. For a bit of fun Check out the Bigfoot news at the front desk, seems it was reported by locals to have been seen in the vicinity! Try your luck in spotting it next. The Gunther Family, Il We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was one of the nicest parks we have visited. Lots of wonderful trees. Sites are so laid-out that they are all very private. We felt as though we were in the mountains all on our own. We had a very nice flat site. Lots of nice flowers everywhere. Handy to attractions in the area. We arrived a day early and they were full but they found us another site near by for the one night. Yes we would go back. We camped here in a camper.

The atmosphere is pleasant and state park-like. Gravel roads and the park is on a hillside. I had trouble getting my 36 ft MH up the hill. Sites are OK but most are situated so you can't get your awning open. Only part of each site is level. We had booked four sites for 5 days then changed that to seven. I was there for a family reunion from 3 states. We got an e-mail confirmation for the change. When we got there, they had not changed the reservations, we didn't have the e-mail with us and they didn't seem to believe us. They also didn't try to fix the problem. The owners/hosts seemed aloof. Thank heaven for the West Glacier KOA a few miles down the road. They saved our week by accomodating us the last 2 days. They even put us in sites together, something Mountain Meadow didn't even try to do. I don't think I'd return to Mountain Meadow again. We camped here in a camper.
Rate this high because of the surrounding ammenities; fishing (cutthroat, rainbow and Bull trout), hiking, biking, exploring and scenery. One hike worth taking is a short (six miles round trip) to Spotted Bear Lake, great fishing. The campground is well off the beaten track, approximately 50 miles out of Hungry Horse up the Hungry Horse Reservoir and is not a road for the faint of heart; the fifty miles of road is all gravel and frequented by numerous logging trucks. The sites are level, really well separated, with fire rings and picnic tables. Free firewood is available, you have to split. The CG has a dump station and water is available. Should mention that numerous "open" areas are available for camping. Should mention that we have seen "Big Rigs" at the CG but wouldn't advise most folks to try it. We camped here in a camper.
