St. Mary Campground

We camped here in mid June, arriving on a Friday evening with no reservation, and had no trouble finding a spot for our 25 foot travel trailer. St. Mary's is one of two campgrounds within the park that offers reservations, and you can check online to see if they are full, or to make reservations.

There were many rigs up to 35 feet at this campground, and they seemed to fit comfortably. Most sites were pull through and offered privacy with bushes and small trees. Loop B was not very shaded, and offered plenty of light for our solar panels. There was potable water, and no electrical hookups, with generators allowed in loops B and C. The bathrooms are a bit older, but clean. We had three bars of 4g Verizon service, and were able to download and work from a laptop from our campsite.

Loop B offered views of East Flathead Mountain, and had open areas of grass, and aspen trees. A short drive, or a longer walk, can take you over to St. Mary Lake, with the option to hike to Red Eagle Lake. The opposite direction will take you right onto Going to the Sun Road, and Logan's Pass. It's important to consider the weather when camping on the east side of Glacier National Park. They are on a separate weather system than the west side, and in our experience, tended to be more wet and windy in May and June.
