Glacier National Park is camping at its finest. Many of the campgrounds put you in fantastic scenery with no hiking involved. They are perfect for families interested in just driving to the park and hanging around their campsite without too much effort to see the good sites. You will find spectacular scenery without ever leaving your campsite. That is the nature of Glacier National Park. While it may be a long way from anywhere, once you arrive in this park, you realize the trip was instantly worth it. Reservations for Glacier campgrounds can be made at this number:1-800-365-2267



Like with other National Park campgrounds, signing up and paying for your site is easy. Simply walk up to the campground entrance registration center, fill out the form, insert your money, tear off your portion of the envelope (receipt) then deposit the envelope in the collection box. You then place your receipt on your campground stake (usually this has your site number and a clip). Campgrounds in Glacier National Park operate on a first come, first serve basis. Popular campgrounds like Apgar, Sprague Creek and Many Glacier can easily fill by noon. Gathering firewood in Glacier's developed campgrounds is not permitted. Either bring your own firewood or you can purchase the bundles for sale ( Two Medicine camp store for example). Check out time in Glacier National Park is 12 PM. Also, pets need to be kept off beaches and on leashes at all times. Pets are not permitted on trails for their safety and yours.
