14 day camping

Do they enforce the 14 day limit (after July 1) in Glacier National Park? And if so how do they track it?
  • Getting back to OP's original question, some National Parks are even stricter. Rocky Mountain National Park has a 7 day limit -- for the entire season of June 1 through September 30 park wide. One could stay 4 days at Moraine Park CG and 3 days at Glacier Basin...and that's it for the season. They do allow an additional 14 days between September 30 through May 31st.

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


    Presumably it's a front wheel drive vehicle, where it's often necessary to remove the wheels and axle shafts before pulling the transaxle.
  • Walaby, I'm trying to figure out how to maximize our trip out from Florida. Am I allowed to spend 8 days on the west side and 10 days on the east side? Would that be allowed? Honestly.

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


    These two statements conflict each other. IF, you really do follow the rules, the you would not have asked the question.

    From the park website

    Between July 1 and Labor Day, camping in Glacier National Park is limited to 14 days, either in a single period or combined separate periods.

    Seems pretty straight forward to me. But then, you knew that because you pointed that out in your first post.

    8 + 10 > 14 Honestly!

    But why not just call the park directly and ask them? Then you will know for sure. You've been given their website twice now in this thread, and right on their website they list the following information:

    CONTACT THE PARK
    Phone:
    (406) 888-7800
    Phones are generally staffed Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:30pm.
