Glacier Campground

The Great Outdoors

The fun can truly begin once you arrive at Glacier Campground and settle in. A slew of majestic forests and parks dot the area, so it's no wonder why northwestern Montana camping vacations are so popular. You can head off to places like Whitefish Lake State Park to take part in a variety of fun outdoor activities. Whitefish Lake State Park sits on the fringes of Whitefish Lake, serving as a favorite summertime destination. Hiking trails, fishing coves, swimming beaches, and campsites make it an exceptional place to spend a day or two.Over by the town of Kalispell, Lone Pine State Park also features brilliant ecosystems teeming with wildlife. There are no camping facilities to speak of at this fantastic nature park, but you can do a bit of biking, hiking, horseback riding, snowshoeing, or cross-country on its trails depending on the time of year. Flathead Lake State Park is another option, split into several different areas surrounding Flathead Lake, one of the largest freshwater lakes in the western United States. Most of the sections have their own lakefront camping areas, perfect for an RV rental getaway. Flathead National Forest surrounds Glacier Campground, so it's easy to visit one of its many wilderness areas, campgrounds, or recreation areas while in the area.Glacier National Park, often dubbed the “Crown of the Continent” for its ethereal beauty, is just short drive north of the Glacier Campground campsites. This tantalizing slice of nature is among the most visited parks in America, thanks to its dazzling mountain views, large lakes, active glaciers, mountain ranges, prehistoric fossils, and tons of other impressive landmarks. Hike through glorious backcountry or stay the night at Glacier National Park's camping areas while vacationing in northern Montana.Take in the views from the comforts of your West Glacier campervan rental with a scenic drive along Going-to-the-Sun Road. Vehicles embarking on the journey shouldn't exceed specific sizes due to some treacherous terrain, but if you've got a rig that fits the bill, don't miss this route. For 50 miles, this winding road weaves through rugged Montana wilderness, narrow mountain passes, and past roaring waterfalls. Watch for resident wildlife along the way, and stop for a snack near the Continental Divide at Logan Pass.

City Sightseeing

Since Glacier Campground is in the heart of a national forest, removed from any towns or cities, you’ll have to fuel up your motorhome rental in West Glacier and take a ride to either Whitefish or Kalispell for some sightseeing. In Kalispell, you can visit the Northwest Montana History Museum or the Hockaday Museum of Art for a dose of culture and art. These Flathead County museums offer some fantastic experiences, with fascinating exhibits highlighting the timber industry and the native people of Montana. The Hockaday Museum of Art is chock-full of artwork from both locals and native people from all over the northwestern United States.You can check out a few historical sites in the small city as well, like the Conrad Mansion Museum. This historic landmark was built for Charles E. Conrad, a wealthy businessman who called Kalispell home. The building sports a European style made to resemble farmhouses in Normandy, France. Now you can see antique furniture and other amazing artifacts while touring the old home.If you feel like carving down some snowy slopes in the wintertime, try skiing or snowboarding at one of the epic mountain resorts nearby. Both Whitefish and Blacktail allow guests to enjoy fresh mountain powder during the winter. You can spend your days riding down the white stuff and grab some hot chocolate or snacks in the base lodge at the bottom of either mountain.
