Glacier Meadow RV Park
Overview
Glacier Meadow RV Park offers a serene escape nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Situated between the West and East entrances of Glacier National Park, this park provides a tranquil mountain setting for travelers looking to disconnect and enjoy Montana's Big Sky Country. The park is designed to feel like a natural extension of the surrounding wilderness, featuring spacious sites that prioritize the stunning alpine views and the quiet rustle of the surrounding pines.
Location & Surroundings
Located in Essex, Montana, the park sits along Highway 2, providing easy access while maintaining a sense of seclusion. The property is bordered by the Flathead National Forest, offering a lush backdrop of evergreen trees and wildflower-filled meadows. Its mid-way position makes it a strategic base for those wanting to explore both sides of the Continental Divide. Visitors often appreciate the panoramic views of the peaks that define the southern boundary of the national park.

The layout is designed to accommodate large big-rigs while maintaining a sense of privacy and space for every guest during their stay.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw is Glacier National Park, with the West Glacier entrance just a short drive away. Outdoor enthusiasts can spend days hiking the Highline Trail or driving the iconic Going-to-the-Sun Road. Closer to the park, the Middle Fork of the Flathead River offers world-class fly fishing and whitewater rafting. History buffs can visit the nearby Isaac Walton Inn in Essex to see the historic railroad architecture and watch the trains pass through the canyon.

More beautiful in person! Great location in the middle of both the East and West entrances of the park. Clean bathrooms and quiet campground to enjoy the outdoors! I did subtract a star for 2 reasons: -Camp host seems to gravitate towards putting everyone in the forested back corner of the lot which blocks all of the mountain views. There is an up charge to be situated in the meadow area but it’s worth it. -Camp host was friendly but also seemed discouraging and trying to scare us out of doing the Highline trail hike, which ironically was our absolute favorite trail and scenic views of the entire trip!

The staff was so friendly! They always asked how everything was going. They would just chat about anything! I loved loved it here! No cell service and I was soooo happy for it! They do have a WiFi pavilion but not at your site. But you’re there to disconnect from the world! It was so quiet and clean! Love the well water and hot showers! And a laundry room! I will always use this park every year! Thank you!

Peaceful and relaxing!! Stayed here 3 nights in a 39 foot class a motorhome. 40 minute, 29 mile drive to the hiking areas at Two Medicine. Surrounded by great scenery. Stars were amazing at nite. Close to US-2 and the trains, but noise was minimal. No train crossings nearby, so no train horns. Meadow sites are pretty close together. Have 50amp and water. Tree sites are more secluded and 30 amp and water. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Wish we would have stayed longer here, instead of moving up to St. Mary.

Quiet RV camping near Glacier National Park; easy access to Two Medicine entrance, reasonable access to St Mary entrance to avoid timed entry requirements. Both wooded back in and full sun pull through sites. Excellent choice when visiting Glacier

Perfect location to both east and west Glacier and activities! Beautiful Rv park surrounded by the beautiful mountains with super friendly hosts and great amenities. Laundry and enclosed closed pavilion with picnic tables as well as shower house. Big rig friendly water and electric but not sewer hook up but the have a truck that comes by Mondays Tuesday’s and Wednesday if you need emptied. They just don’t do it on the day of departure. Great place to stay! Great Steak restaurant nearby 15 minutes to town of east glacier for food and gas.

One of the nicest parks that I have stayed at. My wife and I stayed last year and loved it there. I went back again this year on my way to Alaska. So nice I stayed again on my way back home. Such friendly staff I visited with them in the office and they visited me at my site. They have time for their guest. The park is impeccable. We would return without question if ever in the area.

We used one of their two tent sites. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The laundry room was convenient to have on site. The bathroom facilities are centrally located and clean. I was able to use the outlet adjacent to my site (for an RV). The Wi-Fi signal didn't usually extend to the campsite, but worked well near the pavilion. The pavilion was also a great space for the kiddos to hang when the weather wasnt cooperative! We actually extended our stay by a day, just to rest up after a day exploring Glacier National Park. There were several power outages - obviously well outside the campground's control, but a possible consideration for camping in the area in general. I would definitely be happy to camp here again!

We stayed at the Glacier Meadow RV Park in Essex, Montana, for one night. The park is very clean, and we had a wood site with power and water. The staff was very friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Although there was no Verizon coverage, we were fortunate that our Starlink worked perfectly. The park is well-maintained with ample amenities, including clean restrooms and showers. It’s a peaceful location with beautiful surroundings, making it a great spot for a restful night. I would recommend staying here, especially if you have reliable internet options.

We loved our stay here. Beautiful location, great campsite to walk around on. Our girls loved the swings and we felt safe letting them play. Location was in the middle of both entrances so a bit of a drive to get to them, but lovely staff and experience.

Great RV Park. We stayed 4 nights. Mon-Fri. Camp host was very friendly. No sewer, but they come by Wednesday to dump. You just have to sign up at the office. I missed it so I had to dump my own tanks. Pavilion was nice with Starlink WiFi. They give you lots of wood when you buy it from them. Showers were clean. Only bad thing was the height of the shower head. Other than that, my family and I had a blast.
