14 day camping

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.

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.

Mailing Address:
PO Box 128
West Glacier, MT 59936

Here is Glacier's web site and camping stay regulations:

https://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/camping.htm

By the way, every national park has an excellent web site giving camping information, things to do, road information, opening/closing times and much more.

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.

Do they enforce the 14 day limit (after July 1) in Glacier National Park? And if so how do they track it?

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.

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.

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.

Let's just be honest. If you always follow the rules, this post would not have even been started. You would have complied with the 14 day rule regardless if it is enforced or not.

There was a man in a local state park that we camped in in October and his transmission went out. He wanted to do the repairs himself, which they didn't mind, but he had to order a part and it didn't come in and didn't come in. The park actually threatened to have the rig towed out (which since it didn't have any wheels on it would have been interesting. But the park wasn't even close to full, so I can't imagine what the big deal was and why they were being so hard nosed about it.

The wheels were off?
The park is running a campground, not a junkyard or a service garage.
I can completely understand why they wanted him out of there.

That's what I thought as well. Sounds more like a squatter.
