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!

Absolutely loved staying here during our time in Glacier! We stayed in one of the small cabins with no bathroom and it was perfect for my boyfriend and I. We went during the last 3 days they were open so it was quiet and peaceful. Only complaint would be there is no where for food during this time because the park and KOA is about to close! Otherwise it was amazing.

This KOA was a nice home base for our stay at Glacier. I’ll admit there are other KOA campgrounds with nicer grass and more trees, but it is located close to the east entrance to the Going to the Sun road and also the Canadian border. The staff was very kind and accommodating. They also have a nice store and hard ice cream. We also were able to leave our fifth-wheel trailers in storage at this location to travel into Canada. Get your reservations well in advance if traveling in a group.

Beautiful views of Glacier, very close to the St.Mary’s entrance. Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Laundry room had many washers and dryers and was clean and comfortable (couch, etc. while you wait). Camp store was well stocked with souvenirs, gifts, camp gear as well as tools, camper stuff, and food/drinks. We will definitely stay here again over other campgrounds in the Glacier region.

This is an excellent KOA campground. The store is well stocked with stuff you may have forgotten to pack or ran out of. The bathrooms and showers are well maintained and clean. Wood bundles are generous and bone dry. The staff is friendly and super helpful. We boarded our dog for a couple of days while we visited GNP, and they took great care of him. The trail by the river is nice and shaded. Views from just about every campsite are spectacular.

St. Mary/ East Glacier KOA was a great spot to camp right outside Glacier National Park. It was less than 5 minutes to drive from KOA to the park entrance. East Glacier is busy but nothing like the west entrance. So enjoy some of the isolation on the east. It is stunning and, in my opinion, has better hikes. The campground though had nice showers and clean bathrooms and the staff up front and on the phone are very helpful. Great gift shop too with all the stuff you forgot to pack. I would definitely stay here again and will be recommending it to anyone coming to Glacier.
