Rising Sun campground is surrounded by towering peaks and faces the majestic blue of St. Mary Lake. The location is a good jumping off point for Glacier National Park's famous Going to the Sun Road. There are numerous things to see and do such as the picnic area down by the lakeshore, several trailheads and numerous waterfalls. The campground is next to a well stocked gift shop and supply store. There are also showers available, making this a good spot for those who tend to miss the comforts of home. Rising Sun is a relatively small campground, but receives heavy use. Since it practically borders Going to the Sun Road and the camp store parking lot, don't expect a completely quiet experience.

Rising Sun campground also has modern bathrooms. The area can often be very windy, so a windbreaker is often a good idea in the mornings and evenings.
