Glacier is fantastic. We spend quite a bit of our summers down there and camp just outside of West Glacier at Lake Five Resort. We love that campground, but it is more of a family place because it is right on a warm lake with a beach.

If you do camp on the east side and drive the road, make sure you keep going past the summit as the most scenic part of the road is on the west side.
