A gravel parking lot with RV's and a shabby tipi with none of the amenities in the description.

A gravel pit full of RV's with no charm, no amenities, not even any toilet paper in the lone bathroom a long walk from our sad little tipi. The entire description of the place was fiction.

We have stayed for a few nights over the 4th of July, 2023 at this place to visit Glacier National Park. The only good about this place is that the campground (not a resort by far) is relatively close to the East side entrance of the park (~20 miles). There are really not many choices to camp on the East side of the Glacier National Park, but I strongly recommend KOA St. Mary's over Glacier Grizzly campground if you are able to find availability at KOA. The pictures on Glacier Grizzly's website do keep changing constantly and most of the pictures are taken of some other places and not theirs. I am attaching few pictures of what it is really over there. The place is all gravel with water, sewer and electric hookups. They used to advertise 50amp hookups (they have stopped doing so since), but there were only 30amp hookups available at the time of our stay and I really doubt anything changed since. The sites are indeed fairly spacious, though fire pits are simply hole dugouts in the gravel. There was only one, recently built shower house available for the whole campground (2 showers and 2 toilets), but upkeep of it was lacking - no toilet paper, no hand soap, no way to dry your hands after using a restroom, nobody cleaned shower house during our entire stay! As an icing on the cake, one of the toilets got clogged and nobody had bothered taking care of it for a few days. Furthermore, there were only a couple locations for a garbage disposal that were overflowing with garbage. For around $130/night, we have definitely expected more. All the negative reviews are fairly accurate about the campground and the service (or lack of the service) provided.

Check in was quick and easy. We were escorted to our site which was pretty unleveled. The pull…read morethrough site was very close to your neighbor including the deluxe site. They do have a pool, hot tub and laundry but did not use any of them. The big con was no Wi-Fi. When you pay to stay at a KOA which was pricey you except it. The pro was it's close to the entrance to the park, restaurants and one hour Waterton, Canada and Two medicine/ East Glacier. Beautiful view!'

I was very disappointed with both our stay and, even more so, how management handled my concerns…read moreafterward. We stayed at the St. Mary / East Glacier KOA for two nights, July 17-19, 2026. I specifically chose this campground and paid a premium rate in large part because of the advertised pool, hot tub, and sauna. During our entire stay, the hot tub was out of order, the sauna was out of order, and the pool heater was not working, leaving the pool extremely cold at approximately 70°F. We reported the problems to the onsite office staff, and maintenance personnel checked the equipment and confirmed that repairs could not be completed immediately and would require outside service. I understand that equipment can fail unexpectedly. What I found unacceptable was the way management handled the matter afterward. I called the campground twice and was told messages would be left for the manager. I then sent multiple emails requesting a reasonable partial refund, not a full refund, because we did receive the campsite and hookups. Despite those efforts, management did not respond. Only after a few weeks passed and I contacted KOA corporate and KOA forwarded my complaint to the campground did management finally reply. They acknowledged that the hot tub, sauna, and pool heater were unavailable during our stay, but still denied any partial refund because the campsite and hookups were provided. That response misses the point. We paid a premium price for a campground offering amenities that were an important part of why we selected this location. Had we known those amenities would all be unavailable, we would have stayed at a considerably less expensive campground nearby. Mechanical problems happen. Good customer service is demonstrated by how a business responds when they do. In this case, I was especially disappointed that it took repeated phone calls, multiple emails, and ultimately intervention from KOA corporate just to receive a response from campground management. Based on our experience with the unavailable amenities and the way management handled a reasonable customer concern, I would have difficulty recommending this campground at its premium pricing.

NO HOT WATER. 8pm and no hot water left in shower. Had to take cold shower after all day hiking…read more Shower curtain had a huge gap underneath (see photo) allowing water to FLOOD entire bathroom floor. Paper-thin walls. We heard every conversation in the rooms around us- I mean we could hear EVERY WORD said in the room next door and they could hear us too! Every bump and noise from above. Absolutely horrible. Wifi was spotty and intermittent. Extremely overpriced! Only booked here because we couldn't find anything else available in St Mary. Now I know to just stay somewhere else- anywhere else. Drive an hour just to avoid the Red Eagle Motel. We were in Room #6. Would never ever come here again and wanted to warn others! Only nice thing was the location and the view.

A Spartan motel with little to recommend it; the only saving grace of the Red Eagle Motel and RV…read morePark is that is it close to the entrance of Glacier NP. Mis-matched towels so scratchy you might use them for sanding the next project in your woodshop and so thin that you might mistake them for Kleenex. Room featured a broken window screen so that all manner of bugs might visit. No housekeeping service. Little to no cell reception. Wi-fi that does not work in the rooms; it only works if you are directly in front of the office. No hair dryer provided. No bureau or other horizontal surface in the room to place anything. Low shower water pressure so you feel like you are being misted rather than showered with a temperature that only scores tolerable, certainly not warm. No ice available on site. No phones in the room. No air conditioning, only a rather loud fan that does little to cool the room. Surly front desk attendant who didn't bother to provide any information about the lack of housekeeping or the crappy wi-fi password upon check-in. One star for not having bed bugs, or at least none that were evident. Perhaps they should rename this establishment the "Dead Eagle Motel."

This is a large campground on the west side of Glacier National Park…read more PROS: -Lots of sites -Good alternative stay for those who couldn't get a site at Many Glacier -Flush toilets and soap in the bathrooms -Registered camper showers -Decent tree cover -Not too cramped CONS: -No hiking trails within walking distance -View is not spectacular like some of the other campgrounds

St. Mary Campground was the perfect landing pad for our family and our RV for our recent trip. Be…read moresure to plan your stay well in advance as this site can be booked up to 6 months out! When we arrived at the campsite the ranger was very friendly and gave us helpful information about storing our food items and being sure to pack everything up as this area is prone to bears. The site itself was very private. Our particular campsite allowed the RV to be parked in front and was surrounded by trees so we felt as though we were in our own little camping world. The sites at the top of loop C offer an open field perfect for sunset watching or stargazing, but do not provide as much privacy. When planning your stay, be sure to note the shower locations. We were on the opposite end of the loop, and running to the showers in the brisk morning air was not a favorable option. Additionally, the visitors center is a little bit of a walk, but provides a shuttle to Logan Pass via "Going to the Sun Road". This was a great option for us, as our RV was not able to drive the road due to vehicle size restrictions. I would recommend the shuttle as it runs pretty frequently and parking can be scarce at the popular overlooks and trail heads. Overall, we enjoyed this campsite and look forward to coming back here!
