    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.

    This restaurant was recommended to us by our guide on a boat tour at St. Mary Lake in Glacier…read moreNational Park. She made mention that it was locally owned, AND it was the only one of the 3 restaurants she named which was open before 4pm, which is when we were there, so we trekked on over. We arrived behind a large party of about 8 people and were the only other table in the restaurant. They - or should I say he - took our order quickly and were willing to accommodate a special request (to have a breakfast dish after their stated cutoff time due to a wheat allergy; almost everything on the lunch menu is breaded/fried, so I couldn't eat it). It was clearly Native-owned, which I was happy to support. However, the poor guy who took our order was the only one in the place. He was doing everything: stocking, cleaning, taking orders, cooking. We were there for nearly an hour when the other party's food came out. By this point, we had figured out that he was flying solo, so we were sort of hoping our food would come out at the same time. It didn't. We asked if ours had been started yet, and it hadn't. Seeing that we were staying 3 hours from the park, we had to leave to meet up with our family without having any lunch. This could easily have been avoided with a little communication from the get-go: "Hey, a large party just came in ahead of you. Just so you know, it's probably going to be an hour or more before you see any food." We would have left then and had time to get lunch before starting our drive back to Augusta. As it was, we paid for our 1 drink, made do with whatever snacks we had, and hit the road. Can't comment on the food and the guy was super nice, so I hate to leave a not-great review, but I can't imagine what would have happened if 2 or more of the parties from our boat ride had arrived at the same time we had. I think a little work on the staffing side would do wonders.

    Great spot on the east glacier side. The guy serving us was super nice and made sure we were taken…read morecare of. I got a Philly cheesesteak and fries which ended up being really good. I definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a family friendly place with great food.

    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!
