Saint Mary Campground

How does St. Mary Campground defy the image of a simple camping experience? With its prime location on the eastern edge of Glacier National Park, it offers breathtaking views of the dramatic Singleshot, East Flattop, and Red Eagle Mountains, paired with the convenience of proximity to the park's famous Going-to-the-Sun Road and visitor center.

This expansive campground, the largest on Glacier's east side, features 148 sites accommodating both tents and RVs, complemented by essential amenities like potable water, flush toilets, and bear-proof storage lockers. Generator-free Loop A ensures a quieter stay. While shade is limited, the campground’s fluttering aspens and late-season golden hues add charm. The nearby St. Mary Visitor Center enhances the experience with shuttle services, interpretive programs, and access to iconic trails such as those leading to St. Mary and Virginia Falls.

Positioned just a half-mile from St. Mary, Montana, the campground is an excellent gateway for exploring Glacier’s east side. Adventurers can enjoy hiking, wildlife viewing, or scenic drives, while the nearby village offers conveniences like restaurants and stores. St. Mary Campground is perfectly suited for day trips, extended vacations, or stopovers focused on immersing in Glacier’s rugged beauty.
