Many Glacier Campground

The Many Glacier area is rightfully one of the most popular areas of Glacier National Park. Heavy visitation in 2017 even required closing the road into Many Glacier due to a lack of parking in the dead-end valley. Camping at the Many Glacier Campground is one way to avoid some of the congestion and have easy access to trails.

The campground is a fairly large one, set up in a rectangular grid of roads. There is a generator-free area and about a quarter of the sites are designated as “possible” for RVs up to 35 feet. This is really more of a tent and small RV campground though, and the heavy vegetation offers a lot of privacy for tent campers. There are flush toilets, an amphitheater for campfire programs and a small camp store and restaurant.

The hiking from this campground is really spectacular and includes the Iceberg-Ptarmigan Trail, Grinnell Glacier Trail and Swiftcurrent Pass Trail. For a special dinner after a day of hiking, the Many Glacier Hotel has a fine restaurant.

Many Glacier is one of the few campgrounds in Glacier that takes reservations, with half of the sites still first-come, first-served.
