While the facilities and staff were fine, we thought that the rate was a bit high, although we find this is usually the case with KOA campgrounds. We had to use leveling blocks. We were placed at a site where we had a great open view of the surrounding mountains with terrific sunrises. The campground does not have cable TV, there is no cell phone service if you're on AT&T, and the WiFi -- while free -- is only available for two hours (7pm - 9pm) each night. It was explained to us that this was because of some issues with people using Skype. Huh???? The staff was very helpful in explaining some of the features around Glacier National Park and gave us some good advice as to where to visit during our three-day stay. Good laundry facilities, but -- again -- relatively expensive with $1.75 for wash and $1.00 for 25 minutes of dryer time. Because of the location and views, and the friendly staff here, we will probably stay here again on our next visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground has been given a bad rap. It is expensive because of where it is, but we had a great experience here. You need to plan to have your tanks empty upon arrival and stay in one of the sites next to the office that only offer water and electric (free dump is available if you should need it). They are very nice sites with great views and you save $5 over the other sites that offer sewer. Utilizing these sites (and there are about 20 of them) puts you near the office and showers. The employees are super and the restaurant is very good. Our 3 day stay was great. While sites are narrow because the campground is old, the employees were very accommodating to allow us to utilize two sites during our stay. I assume this would be different if they were full. We enjoyed our stay very much. You should also be aware that the only cell phone service that works in this valley is Verizon. Good Sam park! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for two nights. Very close to the E. Glacier entrance. We had no neighbors next to us so we didn't feel cramped. One draw back was that we had to hike up and down the hill to the office to use the bathrooms and the laundry. You have to get tokens from the office to use the shower which will last for 6 minutes. There is a huge camping area for tents behind the RV park. Ate at their cafe both nights. Family style dinner special Saturday night was roast pork, very dry. Sunday special was Fried chicken, excellent! Very friendly owner. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Many Glacier Campground is our favorite in Glacier National Park, and since it is also first come-first served, and very popular, you have to get there about 9-10 AM to get a site. There are very few sites that accommodate big rigs (>25’), but there are a few. There is great wildlife viewing in the campground We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is very convenient to Glacier Park. We had a gravel pull thru with full hookups on a nicely level site that looked like the gravel was newly added and that was barely long enough for our big rig. Spaces between sites are narrow and grassy with very few trees and grass was in need of a mowing. Interior roads are in good shape. The pool was large and there were several playgrounds although we used neither. Bathrooms were clean and the staff was friendly. There was a major problem getting wifi-explanations were not helpful. As we were there several days and the wifi was spotty to nonexistent the entire time, and with the price they were charging, I wasn't happy. We probably would look for another campground before staying there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Used this park as base camp to explore Glacier NP. Excellent park, clean, well kept, friendly staff, pool, playground, mini golf, etc. to keep kids and adults busy. Handles big rigs easily. Lots of space to run a dog. On the river if you want to fish or swim (brrrrrrr). Spectacular scenery surrounds this park. Essentially next to the entrance to Glacier. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We returned to Glacier and St. Mary's Campground for a second time in three years this August. The last time we went to Glacier it rained on the west side for three days and then we moved to St. Mary's where it was dry but 40 mph windy. After six days we gave up and drove west until we hit sunshine in Idaho. That being said, I loved this campground then and my feelings were reaffirmed when I returned. St. Mary's is where the mountains meet the plains so the wind comes blowing down fairly regularly. The weather was much better this time but we still had to move our tent trailer the last night into a site with trees. You see, we are a sucker for the wide open spaces at the end of the loops with a view of Singleshot Mountain and the lake. Those spots are always windy, but my wife just adores them. There are three loops, A, B, and C. "A" loop is the closest to the St. Mary's river and town and has the most trees except at the far part of the loop from the access road. There is a trail to the Visitors Center, shuttle, and town from this loop. The sites near the river in the trees are very nice, but small for big rigs. Throughout this campground the best sites for big rigs, and big views, are near the ends of the loop. "B" loop is similar but lacks the proximity to the river so it should be your last choice. The "C" loop sits up the hill considerably from the other two and offers views of St. Mary's Lake from many sites. There are great spots in the meadow and alongside the base of the foothills forest. St. Mary's is the only campground on the east side of Glacier NP that takes reservations. It is closest to the Going to the Sun road and near a nice little town with many services. It can be a great home base or could be a place to stay for one night arriving late and then heading on to try your chances midweek at Many Glacier or Two Medicine. Reservations are non-specific so the rangers usually let you drive through and pick one out. The rangers have been wonderful both times we have visited. You will have to forgo the hookup to stay here and there are other options nearby, but there is nothing like a national park campground for stunning sites with great natural views. This is not a big woods campground so some don't like it much, but if you appreciate both mountains and plains you will love it. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
