This park is in disrepair. Sites are narrow, unlevel and suffer from a need for gravel to fill the ruts and level. Grass between the site is terrible. The are large rodent holes, tire ruts and mud. The grass has not been mowed. We could not level without digging a hole for one tire. Would not return. The park roads also need repair. This definitely not a park for big rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very disappointed in this park. The park needs a lot of work. The sites are not level. What very little grass there is, is covered up by dandelions and weeds. Campers are packed together very tightly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This RV Park was a disappointment. The views from "B" circle were good, but the Wi-Fi was only available in the office and was not predictable. Getting to the showers requires a LONG trek down a steep hill: very difficult. The only trash cans are located near the entrance and they were FULL when we stayed here. The tenting spots were more shaded at least. I would stay at another campground next time for sure. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

$23 is full rate, we paid $11.50 senior rate. Reservations taken and recommended. We could only book 4 nights and could not get any extra nights while here. This place is booked solid in the summer. Great base for seeing the east side of the park. Potable water is at the dump station on the way out. We were able to make the swing around the attendant booth after checking in with no problem. Then a short ride back to the visitor center to turn around. As reviewed, sites can be tight, took some doing to get positioned so our slides could go out. We camped here in a Motorhome.

$20 seems high for no hookups or showers, BUT it is in the Glacier NP and close to great hiking so maybe worth it! Restrooms were very clean. We camped here in a Tent.

We loved this campground. Lots of good easy hiking out of it, with the opportunity to see wildlife. We saw one black bear and a couple of moose in the lake 10 minutes (hiking) from our campsite. There is a store for supplies with in a few steps and the prices were right. Both days we hiked over to Many Glacier Hotel and the second day we took the boat trip with hike over to Grinnell Lake: really nice. We really hated to leave and would go back again in a heartbeat. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I do not believe in posting purely negative remarks about a campsite, and luckily there is (usually) always something good about any site. But this KOA gets the prize for being the worst in North America, and possibly the world. Just like some previous reviewers mentioned, the people that run this campground are arrogant, rude and stuck up! We should have realized that there was something wrong when we went to pay for our reserved site. 3 people were being helped. One couple was complaining they had pre-booked a 30amp site and they only had 20 amp sites on swampy wet un-levelled site. The second woman was complaining about sewer smell and sewer had been dumped on their swampy wet site; and the third person was complaining about the internet, or rather, the lack of internet. We had trouble getting onto our site, it was a grassy unlevel site with just electric, the site was on a slope, and was very wet and boggy, and just like the person in the office, the previous camper had obviously just dumped their sewage and left. Turns out there is NO dumpstation on the grounds. There was absolutely no WiFi, not even in the office, and they had issues with the pool and hotpool so they were closed. When I went to the office to ask if we could be moved because of the sewer smell, I walked in on an argument between the owner's wife and a group of people, 2 families had booked 2 cabins online next to each other, but when they arrived they were put into two cabins nowhere near each other, and the owner told them if they didn't like it, they could leave. When I nicely mentioned there was no WiFi she barked at me, saying it was a free service, and I had to deal with it. So I pointed out to her that it was not a free service, that it was a service included in the $45 I was paying. Now it was my turn to be told that if I did not like it, I could leave. Which we did. Leaving this campsite was the best thing that happened to us that day. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The location and view are incredible. The people that we dealt with were very nice. That being said, the site they gave us was very uneven, the Wi-Fi was non-existent (although heavily promoted) and half the dryers in the laundry room were down. You had to waste your time waiting for an open one and pounce on it. When I asked about the Wi-Fi, the girl said, "Well, there are about 900 people camping here and it's through a satellite and..." Hey, that's not my problem when you tell me something's available when it's not. If you go to this place with low expectations, then you probably won't be disappointed. Oh, and they don't have a dump station! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped in a minivan on a tent site. We found the staff to be friendly. One tried unsuccessfully to help me connect to Wi-Fi. Others talked about difficulties connecting, so don't count on it. We were unable to find the first site we were directed to somewhere in the cabin area, so we drove to the back area with trees and were assigned to one of the small sites there. It had a picnic table and trees for privacy, which was all we needed. The location was great for quick access to Glacier National Park, so we headed there for a short hike. When it started thundering we headed back to the site. Because of the threatening weather the pool and hot tub were closed. Since it was already after 7:00 PM we figured it would be closed for the night, but were pleasantly surprised to find it reopened at 8:00. We had really been looking forward to using the beautiful, enormous hot tub, and we weren't disappointed. It is the size of some small swimming pools I've seen in hotels. The air temperature was in the 50's, and sitting in the hot water with the mountain views was awesome. We also swam in the large pool, which was very nice. In a separated area there was what looked like a fun water play area for kids, with buckets of water pouring down. I'd definitely stay here again, for the hot tub and pool alone. We camped here in a Tent.

This is a nice campground! Lots of shade, good size site. You can easily walk to the St Mary Visitor Center, where you can also get on the park's shuttle. Although there are no hookups, which is typical of a National Park, you can run your generator during meal times and there is a convenient dump station. We arrived with a full fresh water tank and empty holding tanks and did not have to dump at all and so the lack of hookups did not bother us. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Another very nice National Park Campground. Dry camping only. Much more open than the heavily shaded campgrounds on the west side of the park, and marvelous views of snow-covered mountains. Solar and satellite worked well here, as did Verizon broadband. The campground is set up in loops, so there is reasonable seperation and privacy between sites. There is an attendent booth on the main access here that cuts down on folks simply cruising through the campground. Overall, a very nice place to stay while exploring the east side of Glacier National Park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground has a spectacular view of some of the mountains in Glacier National Park. Easy access to all of the east side areas in the park. Primitive campground with few and far between water spigots. The water spigots are designed so that a hose will not connect, even my water thief hose adapter that has worked well in other state and national parks would not fit the spigots in St. Mary. Pull through sites are tightly curved for longer rigs, and many have bushes and/or trees on both sides. I had a very difficult time getting my 38ft fifth wheel out of our site and ended up having to drive over some bushes. As others have mentioned, bring plenty of groceries with you. The grocery store in St. Mary has no fresh meats, a very minimum amount of produce (think 1 head of lettuce, 2 melons, etc.),but if you want beer or wine, they have a good selection at a high price. Park Cafe has good bison burgers and good homemade pies. The biggest problem we had was the lack of showers in the park. The rangers said the KOA close by offered showers for a price, we drove over and asked at the KOA. They charged $10 per person per shower! This campground had the best view of any we have ever been to, but everything else made it difficult to stay longer than 3 days. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
