Pros: booking was simple and when wanting to extend our stay a couple more days before coming they found a way to not have us move halfway through to a different site which was super nice! Location was perfect. Right by Going to the Sun Road and had pretty good views (depending on your site). Cons: They just redid the septic and our hose (15ft) couldn’t reach it. Looks like it’s that way for all FHU sites. They put it in SO far from the water and electric box and right by the road which made us go buy another hose for extension from the office which was $40 in order to reach it. Showers - while we had FHU our friends did not and they had to buy coins for the showers. That’s not the bad part. They were only given 6 minutes (1 token) of showers per night they stayed. They were not able to get more. Laundry - $4/per cycle. Washer cycle $4. Dryer cycle $4. So expensive. The spaces between campers was a little cramped but I could let that one slide. Speaking of slides, this big berry bush made it so cramped and was scratching on our slide and windows whenever it was windy. Oh and we also got a kiddy sized picnic table!! 😂

My family of 8 were planning on tenting and parents were using a travel trailer to stay in or near Glacier. There were no available sites for all of us in the Park. This place was able to accommodate us though. It was close, a couple minutes from the east entrance. Plus of the campground was the view of St. Mary lake. Also had showers and bathroom, but be prepared to wait if in the morning or evening if it is full. We used the coin washer and dryer while there too. The tent sites were wooded, grass, tables and fire pit. My parents trailer site didn't have a fire pit. One night in the tents neighbors got loud with Rave music and cheering...but I put on loud white noise to keep kids asleep. Overall, this was a good experience and would recommend it. But our preference would be to have a place where we could walk to a lake or river. A close place to drive and hangout by the lake on the stone shoreline was a short walk down the beaver dam trail on the east side of the lake before the entrance.

Family owned campground & diner with the best hilltop views less than a mile from the Glacier National Park entrance. Super friendly staff. Well maintained. Great food.

Spring time is the best time to visit, The campground had plenty of spaces available, a little more crowded on the upper level camp area. I would classify this as rustic counry. The cabins are so adorable, I would give this adorable campground five stars but they do need several updates. The office staff was so amazing and fun to visit with.. If you want to go to the restaurant and want gluten-free, don't bother, but it is decorated so adorable. The views are ten star, hands down.
