Avalanche Campground

Only downside is the campgrounds are on top of each other. We could hear everything our neighbors said and probably vice versa. Felt like we had to whisper around the fire at night. There are no lights in the bathroom so bring your headlamp when you go to the bathroom. Otherwise, it was nice having a water spigot and nobody bothered us during our week long stay. It was nice waking up and walking the connected trails without having to drive anywhere or being able to take off up the going-to-the-sun road and get a head start before the rush.

Cool campground, little Rude park ranger host. Arrived late 10 pm, first time camping Glacier. Did not know my site number as reservation was made 3 months prior. Spoke with two different campers at the grounds and they both told me just pick an empty spot. Seemed logical as most campgrounds NP it's just pick any open spot. Got 7 am wake up call from ranger at my van door. I explained that my reservation receipt is on my computer with site number. Guy insisting I am doing something wrong and I just ask him to find my name of his list. He refuses to look and wants me to wake up my 2.5 year daughter and move.

Fill out the card, tear the bottom stub off and clip it to the post with your site number. Leave a chair or something in your site if you can. Drive or walk back to put your payment and registration in the slot. The form says you have a half hour to check in but no one will kick you out if you take a little longer. ||FACILITIES: The bathrooms have flush toilets and sinks with running water (no soap). No showers. There are no lights or hooks to hang a light. Going at night is challenging. I

This campsite is very well kept and relatively quiet given it is right next to a very active trailhead. Restrooms were actually toilets, no showers. There was no trash laying around and they have multiple shared bear boxes. We got lucky and got a spot here when I looked the night before arrival.

Great spot in the middle area of the park. More basic amenities than other campsites, with no showers. Campsites were for the most part spaced out enough. It was nice to have easy access to avalanche lake hike and was easy to get to Logan pass and apgar areas for hiking
