4runnerguy, I had expressed similar thoughts to the OP in a PM.
Typically I wouldn't like a campground without trees. However, with the beautiful mountain peaks all around, it gives Glacier campground a front row seat. Maybe we were lucky to have a site without others in front of us. When we sat on our site, there was hundreds of feet to the next camper between us and the mountains.
Lauren, Can you elaborate on your comment about the west side? I would have planned to stay there on a future trip.
