St. Mary-East Glacier KOA

Proximity to East Glacier entrance(s) is great and views are outstanding. Campground is fairly basic, but overall, it's well maintained. Sites are fairly close together like many KOAs of this type. Decent playground for kids and store with ice cream was nice to stop in after a long day of hiking.

No cell service on AT&T at all hardly anywhere near this location. No real working wifi either. Two Sisters Cafe near Babb was a nice stop with good food and a nice relaxing atmosphere.

In general, this is quite a remote area with closest (below average) medical facilities in Browning or much further away. A couple restaurants and stores in the area for provisioning or dining out.

We stayed here for 2 nights so we could visit the Many Glacier area. This park is a typical KOA with sites close together and no privacy between neighbors. The pool and hot tub were very nice and we really appreciated that after a long hike at Glacier. Verizon coverage was good there, and they also have Wifi but we didn't use it. I appreciated that they don't charge extra for kids like so many KOA parks do. We usually avoid KOAs because of the "kid tax", but thankfully this one does not charge extra for kids. They are expensive enough even without the kid tax.

This was a pretty nice KOA with plenty of amenities for all kinds of campers (pool, hot tub, games, BBQ, pancake breakfasts, etc.). The sites are all big enough that you don't need to worry about being able to open slide-outs or awnings, but you're still quite close to your neighbor. It's a very large campground and they do use all the space available so it feels pretty crowded when full. The campground is on a hill so even though our RV pad was level, our camping site sloped steeply down as soon as we stepped out of the motorhome (making for a very high "last step" when getting out). We had one of the premium back-in sites with extra room for a tent (which we didn't use). This site was nice because it backed up to a large green field making short dog walks very convenient, BUT it was right across from the campground entrance and office. This is a LARGE campground where people stay for only a few days at a time, so each morning we witnessed dozens of RVs leaving and each evening we witnessed dozens checking in, which can get noisy. Being a large campground, there are plenty of places to walk dogs, including a trail down to the lake where they can go for a swim. The WiFi worked reasonably well most of the time, and Verizon worked fine, but there's no AT&T service at all.
