Glacier park Montana

We loved staying at St Mary's - quiet and peaceful with awesome views. Easy walk to the Visitor Centre to catch the shuttle and enjoy the scenery with someone else driving, plus get on and off as we went all the way through. Saw lots of huge bears that came down every evening around dusk for the berries end August/early September = kept the rangers on their toes but wonderful to see them in their natural environment and up close.

If we were staying longer than just 3 days, we would have spent a further 3 days on the West side around Apgar or Fish Creek CG, just purely for the experience of having done both sides. If we were to stay again for 3 days we'd still stay at St Marys FWIW.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have been on the site and they have a lot of campgrounds to choose from. Just wanted some input on favorite campgrounds. I did notice there was a lot of first come, first serve. will probably stay 2-3 nights.

It's a very big Park with several campgrounds; none with hook-ups. On the west side is Apgar campground which is very large and with many but not all sites OK for your RV. Usually you can get a site if you get there around mid-day. I don't think it's reservable. On the other side is St Marys, also big and reservable and about an hour away. To get from the east to the west side, you can't go through the park with your RV but US 2 goes around the south side and is a fine road. Between those 2 are several campgrounds but you need to research them to see if your size fits and if you can reserve. Oh, lets see, another one on the west side, extremely wooded but I'm not remembering the name. Also, numerous private ones outside the Park, especially on US 2 west of the Park. Glacier is our favorite place in the entire country.

We are heading to Glacier state park in Montana in July. Was on line looking at their campgrounds and looking for opinions on which one to stay at. We have a 26 foot class C. We will probably stay for at least 3 nights.
Thanks in advance for your opinions and thoughts.

Just to nit pick a little, Glacier is a National Park, Not a State Park, however we all got the idea, as coolmom42 said, check this site, https://www.nps.gov/glac/index.htm.
We too loved Two Medicine on the East side, it is first come first serve, so get there EARLY in the morning & wait till the site (or a site) you want opens, also a note, there are NO hookups, but there is a dump station & water fill.
This was our site;

Are you planning on staying the Park? East side or West side (big difference in the two). What are your interests (this will aid in determining which side one might recommend).

East. Just search this Forum in the RV Parks section for `Glacier' and take your pick.

You will need to arrive very early in the day on a weekday. Check the NPS web site for fill times for each campground on the dates you expect to arrive.

Also check the NPS site for detailed descriptions of the amenities at each campground. That may help you eliminate some of them.

I really enjoyed Two Medicine, but everyone has a different idea of what is the "best" campground.

You probably will be out touring around anyway and not spending a lot of time there.
