Located just 2.5 miles from the West Entrance of Glacier National Park, the resort serves as the ultimate basecamp for mountain adventures.

The primary draw is undoubtedly Glacier National Park, where travelers can drive the iconic Going-to-the-Sun Road or hike to pristine alpine lakes like Lake McDonald. Adventure seekers can find whitewater rafting and professional fly fishing opportunities on the nearby river. For a change of pace, the nearby village of West Glacier offers charming gift shops and local eateries within a short distance from the campground, making it easy to stock up on supplies.

The best KOA! From the moment you arrive the warm and caring staff greet you like long awaited friends. They escorted us to our cottage and we found an extremely well maintained picnic area with fire pit outside our cabin. Inside, we found all the accommodations in perfect order. The property grounds and flowers were immaculate and hanging out at the Beer Garden and Lazy Bear Cafe were a blast! The food is excellent and the drinks tasty. Every staff member we met felt like our friends. The best place to stay and relax after visiting GNP, just a few minutes down the road. Highly recommend this KOA if you are looking for a perfect vacation!

We did our research and knew this was going to be an expensive campground to visit. We have been fulltime RVers for 2 years now and the splurge (for us) to pay this kind of price was well worth it. We totally enjoyed our 2 week stay here. Very relaxing and zero road noise. We opted for the deluxe patio site (assigned #28) and were completely satisfied with the choice. Level and had bushes to screen from the neighbors. Had good shade and we spent several afternoons sitting on the patio. Agree with all the other reviews about the long list of amenities available and the cleanliness of the grounds. We used the walking trail that surrounds the campground each day for a shady place for our pup to stretch her legs. Also used the free dog wash station before we left. We found much better ice cream OFF property rather than what was offered at the KOA. All in all a wonderful experience and even with the ridiculous high price we would stay here again.

Love, Love, LOVE this place. It is probably by far the prettiest camp ground I have ever stayed in. It was so nice and clean , well kept and very obviously loved by the people who run it . Gorgeous , and so close to Glacier . All the staff are busy keeping everything clean and tidy . They have live music that isn’t over the top every night . The cutest nicest playground I have ever seen . A family and a 18 an over pool . The cleanest, nicest well kept spots ever . They even have a great walking trail behind the camp that circles around the outside . Stay here and you won’t regret it . It is worth the extra money. The only down I have to say is the family pool doesn’t have a shallow enough side for a toddler . But that’s a me problem not a them problem . Have the best time here !!!

We had the absolute best time at West Glacier KOA! It’s literally the most beautiful campground we’ve ever seen or stayed at. Very close to Glacier National Park, with lots to see and do. The local purveyors (white water rafting, fishing, etc.) will even pick you up from the campground. Everything was perfect, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an amazing camping experience!

This is the most beautiful KOA I’ve ever stayed at. The grounds are meticulously maintained. They have music or activities every night that are good for all ages. There are two nice pools, one family and one adult. Only downside was the hot tubs are only in the adult pool. We wanted to go in as a family after a long hike, but it is nice to have a quiet space to relax. The kids loved the playgrounds. Seemed like all the kids were out playing together every evening. It is a great location to the national park and we spent a lot of mornings at close by Lake Five where they have a public dock for fishing or boats. It was pretty much empty every time we went and very peaceful. The staff was very nice and helpful. They always had a smile and nice conversation. The downsides: laundry is expensive, $7.00 a load to wash and dry, and the machines were small and didn’t clean that great. The spaces were tight. Overall I would give it a 4.5 if I could but I’ll round up because the good outweighed the negative so much. Highly recommend!
