We stayed at Leaning Tree Cafe and Campground south of Babb in 2019 for a couple nights. I think it was $20/night with electric and $5 more if you wanted to take a shower. It was acceptable, the breakfasts there were great! We stayed there because it was reasonable and we wanted to hike the Grinnell Glacier trail, 6 miles up to the glacier and 6 miles back down to Many Glacier. The first night we wandered around the campground and got to know most of the campers, it isn't a huge place. The next day, after the hike, I grabbed some scotch and sat on the porch of the "Clubhouse" as that's the only place that had wi-fi. I thought it was weird, there was nobody in the office, but the door was unlocked. People started showing up, looking for a spot for the night. They'd go into the office, come back out, and ask me if I new anything about open sites. As I had met the other campers the night before, I knew who was moving on and what sites were probably open. So I showed each person to an empty site, and told them to go to the clubhouse later to pay their $20. I probably got 5 or 6 campers settled into campsites. Awhile later, a women and her son showed up at the office, I remembered her as the one who checked us in the night before.. I explained to her what sites I had settled people into, and told her that they would bring the $20 to the office when they saw someone there. She thanked me, she said she had to run her son to the nearest doctor which was a 50 mile drive each way and must have forgotten to lock the office. In hindsight, it was one of our most memorable and enjoyable camping experiences ever.
