St. Mary / East Glacier KOA Holiday
Plan your Glacier vacation with St. Mary KOA as your basecamp!
Stay here, and you're just a mile from Glacier Park and the entrance to Going-to-the-Sun Road, the 52-mile highway that climbs across Glacier National Park's spectacular alpine spine. The view is almost as good from your campsite here at Glacier's eastern edge, where towering peaks frame the St. Mary River and Lake. Pick up lunch fixings at the KOA grocery store and gift shop, then board a Glacier tour bus at the campground entrance. If you want to give your dog a day off while you explore, your hosts offer pet sitting and kennel boarding. Or relax at the KOA with full espresso bar while you hone your putting skills, play bocce or enjoy the swimming pool and hot tub complex. Rent a kayak and explore the wilds of Lower St. Mary Lake and River. Pizza and food service items available daily from mid-June to September. Pool/Hot tub: June 15 - September 10. Max pull thru: 75 feet. Your hosts: Will & Susan Brooke.

We visited this campground last month and stayed four nights. It is a large campground offering a variety of lodging for all. They have cabins, yurts and luxury cabins and of course camping sites ranging from tent site, water/power, to full hook-up and back-in or pull-thru sites. There is an exceptionally large dog park and a trail which is one of the best trails that we have seen at a campground and our dog really enjoyed this since the trail leads to the lake too, where there are kayaks if you want to rent one. We also enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi after our hikes and the grounds are well-maintained. You are literally just five minutes from the East gate of Glacier National Park. At this entrance there is a large Visitor Center, a shuttle which takes you to various drop offs to access trails with the final drop @ Logan Pass. We highly recommend this park as the staff and amenities were great.

Editing the review down to 4 stars after our second visit. The second time we went for showers, we encountered two separate employees who were very unwelcoming. They made it clear they didn’t want our business, i probably wouldn’t go back unless it’s the only option. *This review is only for the showers and laundry* Showers available to the public for $15, and totally worth it!! I think it was the best campground shower I’ve ever had! Tons of hot water, good pressure, and very clean!! Laundry is coin operated, and they have a change machine. Prices were reasonable (2.25 for wash, .25 per 4 minutes in the dryer - less than $5 to wash and dry a load). The machines seemed clean and were efficient. On the first visit, service at the front desk was friendly and helpful.

We stayed for 5 days or so. Great location for the going to the sun road. No grocery stores, the closest is about 30 minutes away in Browning and only 2 very expensive gas stations about a dollar a gallon more on diesel. Go prepared. Beautiful views, quiet, nice laundry room and the red bus tours pick up at this location. The West side of the park may have a bit more stuff, although not a lot more. The east entrance to Glacier National Park is the best to me.

1st time traveling to MT. We had a sleeper cabin that was perfect. The fact that it had a mini fridge and microwave were an added bonus. The bathrooms were shared but individual at the same time (only one person in at a time and never needed to wait to get in). Also always clean. It has heat (didn't use it) and screens on the windows to let the fresh air in. Plus it smelled wonderful inside of it. I spent more money in the store with the cute gifts and the coffee....yummmm. We did a red bus tour and it picked us right up from the office. We will definitely stay here again.

Our stay at the KOA at St. Mary’s was absolutely wonderful! The cabin was cozy and comfortable, and I especially loved relaxing on the swing. The staff was so attentive and welcoming, making sure everything was just right for our stay. One of the best parts was the incredible night sky—no light pollution, just a breathtaking view of the stars. We had such a great experience and would definitely recommend this KOA to anyone visiting the area!
