Heart of Glacier RV Park & Cabins

We decided to stay here because the weather wasn’t great and knew our solar panels wouldn’t do the trick. They gave us one of the nicer sites at the end with vegetation. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. We don’t stay in full-hookup sites often, so don’t have a lot to compare. I’d say this was typical.

We were put in site 8 (30amp) and we loved because it was at the end of the row (though next to where everyone drove in) but we had a buffer of bushes. The only negative to the site is that while we were there, we got A LOT of rain. We had parked the trailer with the bumper backed up almost to where we turned into the site. That was a mistake, because after a night of continuous rain, if we stepped out the backdoor we would be stepping into a pool of water. Thanks goodness we have a front door too! If we camped here again, we would still choose this site, but would pull forward more.

They have washrooms and showers, which we didn’t use. They have wifi, that doesn’t work well but our cell phones worked great in this area, when the wifi wasn't working. The laundromat was having issues and they told us upfront. The washers worked and only one dryer worked when it felt like it. They said they had the Maytag repairman called but he was in no hurry since they were closing in a couple of weeks. They have a small DVD movie selection for $1/night rental.

Location is great! We had easy access to the Park.

Most things had shutdown in town this late in September. Also, if you need fuel . . . Fill up in Browning! We paid $5.75 for diesel . . . Ouch!! No places to eat out this time of year. No grocery stores or places to fill propane either. The only service station had a small assortment of items typical of a service station, though they had milk, a few veggies & fruit (like bell peppers, onions, apples). Thinks were getting thin since they too would be closing too with the park.

The "Going to the Sun" road was open the first full-day we were here (September 26), but then the weather moved in, they shut it down early for the season (should have stayed open until October 15.

Also, beware when traveling in from the south. Without knowing anything, when we left Browning, we drove in via Hwy 464 and not Hwy 89. Thank goodness. Hwy 89 is more hilly and has a sharp turn. A Class A motorhome didn’t make the turn and destroyed their rig and the vehicle they were towing. Everyone including the dogs had seatbelts on and were safe. I guess it stopped all traffic and because we came in via Hwy 464, less hilly we avoided it. Time difference is negligible.
