Many Glacier Campground
Popular east-side campground in Glacier National Park surrounded by Douglas fir and lodgepole pine, offering access to premier day hikes and wildlife viewing including grizzly bears, moose, and bighorn sheep.
About
Many Glacier Campground is one of Glacier National Park's most sought-after campgrounds, located on the east side of the Continental Divide at approximately 4,500 feet elevation. The 109 sites are situated within a dense forest of Douglas fir, lodgepole pine, and quaking aspen, providing partial shade and wind protection. Nearby natural features include Swiftcurrent Creek and Lake, with mountain views of Altyn, Henkel, Wilber, Grinnell Point, Allen, and Wynn peaks. The campground offers excellent trailhead access for day hiking and overnight backpacking. Because east-side trailheads start at higher elevations, hikers enjoy shorter climbs to reach alpine vistas compared to west-side approaches. The area is prime grizzly and black bear habitat; hiking in groups, making noise, and carrying bear spray are essential. Swiftcurrent Motor Inn, located a quarter-mile away, provides coin-operated showers, a camp store, restaurant, gift shop, and limited groceries. Cell phone coverage is unavailable at the campground but limited service exists in Babb, 12 miles east. The campground is also a gateway to Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada, about 45 miles north.
