The St. Mary Campground will open for winter camping on November 1, 2021.

St. Mary campground is the largest campground on the east side of Glacier National Park and is open year round. It is located approximately one half mile west of the park boundary, near the town of St. Mary. From May 27th through August 14th reservations are required. On August 15th the campground is First Come / First Serve. Activities such as interpretive programs, book sales, and shuttle service tours are located at the nearby St. Mary Visitor Center.

Though shade may be sparse, aspen trees grace St. Mary campground with soothing sounds from spring and summer breezes, and colorful splashes of yellow late in the season. Of the three loops in St. Mary Campground, Loop A is the most sheltered, especially good for tent campers. Loop A is also generator free. Views of Singleshot, East Flattop, and Red Eagle Mountains compliment the landscape, especially in Loop B and C. Potable water is accessible in the campground, and restroom facilities provide flush toilets and sinks with running water. Showers are located in Loop C for registered campers only.

Nearby the campground, just outside the park, you will find amenities such as restaurants, gift shops, camp stores, gas, and a grocery store.

St. Mary is one of five campgrounds in the park that take reservations. You may sign up through the National Reservation System at http://www.recreation.gov.
