14 day camping

I don't know specifically about GNP but in every NPS CG that we have stayed in a Ranger(or the CG Host) walks around the CG at least daily and checks the camp sites. So I'm sure they know who and how long someone has stayed at a particular spot. If the CG is popular, with people who want to get in, then I think they would enforce the 14 day limit. I've heard some people say you could just change to a different site and get another 14 days but don't know if that's true

It is always best to just go to the specific official website for information.

Link to Glacier Camping rules here

Yes. It is limited to 14 days between July 1 and Labor Day. It is limited to 30 days total between Labor Day and June 30. Either single periods or combined separate periods.

No, you can't just move to another site. The 14 day limit and 30 day limit are for your time camping in the park.

And it makes no difference whether and how they enforce it. That is the rule and you should live by it.

Yes, it will be enforced and yes, they know how long you've been there. As volunteers in these parks that was one of our duties. :)

Thanks for the prompt responses everyone. We do follow the rules, which is why I posted.

There was a man in a local state park that we camped in in October and his transmission went out. He wanted to do the repairs himself, which they didn't mind, but he had to order a part and it didn't come in and didn't come in. The park actually threatened to have the rig towed out (which since it didn't have any wheels on it would have been interesting. But the park wasn't even close to full, so I can't imagine what the big deal was and why they were being so hard nosed about it.

Why were the wheels off of it if the transmission was the problem?

I know Oregon State Parks track your stay and they enforce the 14 day limit.

The wheels were off?
The park is running a campground, not a junkyard or a service garage.
I can completely understand why they wanted him out of there.

That's what I thought as well. Sounds more like a squatter.

Let's just be honest. If you always follow the rules, this post would not have even been started. You would have complied with the 14 day rule regardless if it is enforced or not.
