North Fork Road Dispersed Camping

We have a big rig! This wide open field was a perfect place for us to stay so we could drop and go into Glacier for a few days. You can stay for 16 days for free! All of the neighbors there were friendly and we felt very safe. Our kids got to meet some friends and ride bikes in a huge space. We even had signal. It came and went but it was enough for us to handle business back home. We would come here again.

Arrived on a Sunday in mid- July. Nothing fancy or aesthetic, but easy access (right off north forks) plenty of space and sun for solar. Were able to level pretty quickly. 20 mins to west entrance of glacier and within walking distance of river access (just across north forks). Heard some generators but those don’t bother us too much. Just 15 minutes into town. Only real negative was very little cell service - could connect if I held my phone out the window.

We spent a little over a week here to explore Glacier and the area. It was a very convenient home base, but very crowded. It just a big open field and any size rig can fit. Since there are so many people during the busy season, despite having a good cell signal, there is no usable data connection at all during the day (and sometimes at night).

As far as noise - generators can be heard at all hours of the day. And I mean so hours - even at 3am. We even saw someone arrive at 10pm and then proceed to cut the grass around his spot with a weed wacker! Despite the noise, we would still camp here again.

You can fill water jugs with fresh spring water at mile 6 on north fork road (you'll see the water flowing out right on the side of the road) or for free at the Fish Creek Campground in the park. Also, right across the street is river access with parking, vault toilets, a boat launch, and a great sandy beach.

We checked out the river sites first, but it wasn’t quite right for us in spring conditions. This place is a big open field, which was great this time of year when their weren’t many people. There are plenty of sites with fire rings to choose from, views of the mountains, and an open field means plenty of solar. We had a few neighbors over the week and it was a good vibe. Reasonable generator use/no one running all night. It was a quiet and enjoyable week.

No T-Mobile, but decent Verizon and ATT

This is a good boon docking area if you are going to be visiting Glacier National Park. It can accommodate any size RV and has easy access off North Fork Road. This location is not far from two park entrances and close to Hungry Horse and Columbia Falls for fuel, groceries, and a laundromat. The site itself is mostly flat and easy to level however it's a field that has very tall overgrown grass in some areas. If the grass wasn't 2 feet tall we would have rated this 4 stars. Sites are spread out around the field with rock fire pits people have made during their stay. The stay length in this location is 16 days. There is some road noise but not enough to become a problem. You can refill with water and dump tanks at some of the local RV Parks for a fee. We were able to refill our water bladder for free at Fish Creek National Park Campground (the only Glacier National Park campground open for the 2020 season) by showing our Access Pass. Garbage dumpsters and recycling is available at the Apgar Visitor Center. The biggest draw is the cell service actually works here. We have AT&T and had 2-4 bars with LTE service, even our AT&T mobile router worked well enough at night to stream Netflix. However during the day the service is much slower so don't expect lightening fast speeds.
