Babb, MT
A trailhead campground on Glacier's wild east side. Keep bear spray within reach.
Many Glacier Campground is on the east side of Glacier National Park in Montana, at about 1,370 m (4,500 ft) at the end of Many Glacier Road, roughly 19 km (12 miles) from Babb. The campground, with around 110 sites, sits in the forest a few kilometers from Many Glacier Hotel and Swiftcurrent Lake, and tent campers prize it for its privacy. It is a base for day hikes and multi-day treks.
Both grizzly and black bears live here. Food, coolers and toiletries belong in a hard-sided vehicle or the bear box at your site, and bear spray should be within reach. The sites have no hookups, but there is water, flush toilets and a dump station. The campground is tight for RVs: most sites take trailers only up to about 6.4 m (21 ft), and a few take 8 to 9 m (26 to 30 ft); if you have slide-outs, St. Mary is a better choice. There is no cell service at the campground. Reserve on recreation.gov and check the current season dates with the NPS (as of October 2026).
