Glacier NP Recommendations

[sfedeli3]

We're planning to spend 4 days up in Glacier NP this summer. Has
anyone stayed in the park with their bird? I pulled up the reservation
website and they appear to have a maximum size of 35' for the
campsites. Is that really the case or just a "suggested" size.

I have been there twice. Once in a 28' 5th wheel and a f350 crew cab
(total length 45+), and a couple of years ago in my bird. Recollection
is that there is plenty of room for both. I believe that there are 3 or
four different campgrounds in the park. We have stayed at two different
ones with out a problem.

Shane: It has been a lot of years since I was there, but I think 35
is probably the max. There are a couple of parks outside the West
Entrance that you might consider.

Hi Shane,

There are a LOT of RV parks within a mile or two of the west gate. At
least a dozen. Maybe two. Only a few showed up in our campground
guide. We went through in mid-August. There were a lot of sites
available then. If you want a rustic RV park, on south side of the
highway, about 1/4 mile west of the main gate in very woodsy
campground with power and some water. (Sorry, don't remember the name
of the CG.) Most of the other campground on that strip are pretty
conventional though.

Be aware that the Trail to the Sun Road does not open up until around
July 1st +/-. It will likely be later this year because of the amount
of snow in the passes.
