Parking the TV at Glacier NP

[Rgentum]

We've got a 28 ft long 27FB + an 18 ft long Ram/Cummins TV for a total of 46 ft, which is too long for most if not all camping sites in Glacier NP. If we get a site just for the trailer, what do we do with the TV? Are there general parking sites where we can leave the TV for several days? If not, what's the alternative?

My 25' is two feet shorter, but my truck is 2' longer for the same overall length. I could fit in at least half the sites at Glacier. Here is a picture of our 25' on a very large site at Glacier. You will really enjoy your visit to Glacier! http://www.airforums.com/forums/f42/...ml#post1989020

We camped in Apgar a few years ago (spot B96) and had no problem with the trailer and truck fitting.

This may be blasphemy, but when visiting a national park I don't always stay in the park. I like power, city water, and sewer. I also don't feel like eating all my meals from the park vendor, and I like visiting nearby towns also.
So when we visited Glacier, we stayed in Kalispel and visited Whitefish also.

But, please stop saying how beautiful Glacier, NP is. It is, but I want to keep it a secret!

Suggest when making a reservation to ask if there is overflow parking available at the campground. I have found with the Yellowstone NP reservation system I have had success making an online reservation for what I believe I want/need as to dates of availability and length. I secure this reservation, and then call during business hours and speak to a phone representative.

This has always for us led to us being assured that our rig will fit. Apparently the online terminology is vague, and the options to slot users are more specific over the phone.

There is a nice campground on the top of Marias Pass and a very large parking lot...if the campground is full we stay in the parking lot....

We camped four nights with our 31' trailer and crew cab with 8' box in a pull through site a few years back. Don't remember which area.

Good suggestions about overflow ateas.

Enjoy

We camped outside of the park at Mountain Meadow RV Park in Hungry Horse, MT https://mountainmeadowrv.com/
The park was so crowded (almost bumper-to-bumper) that we entered the park only one day (on our motorcycle) and still had a hard time finding a spot to pull off for pictures!
We ended up doing much outside the park such as river rafting, exploring the Hungry Horse Dam and going to a lovely little lake on the way to the dam for a swim. The cherries were also in season so we got lots of them at roadside spots.

You might be more comfortable in one of the many RV parks near West and East Glacier. Most of them are a short drive to the park.

We stayed at the KoA just west of the park .

We took or TV to the west lodge and parked there then took the Red bus tour to the summit and back . The going to the sun hwy. is not meant for trailers or MH.

We stayed a nice RV park in Kalispell Spruce Park on the river.Just a short drive to Glacier.

In July we spent 12 days at Glacier Campground about a mile outside of West Glacier. We have a 31' classic with an F250 that is about 19' long. The site only had water and electric, but there is a pump out service available. Bathrooms were clean, but sometimes crowded. Overall, the campground was nice. All sizes of sites from tent only to big rigs.

We stayed on the west side of Glacier for the most part - only took a Red Bus tour to the east side. We only went into the park as far as Apgar with our vehicle and then used shuttle buses to access hikes. If you time it correctly, there is a shuttle directly to Logan Pass.

While most people spend their time in Glacier, there a several nice hikes on the east side of Flathead Lake that are dog friendly.

St Mary and Apgar have plenty of larger sites. Many Glacier and Fish Creek have some larger sites. If you don't book 6 months in advance you may not get one at St Mary and Many Glacier. Apgar is first come. Arrive early and you should get a site. We camped at Many Glacier and Fish Creek with our 25fb and Ram 2500 CC. Either of our sites would've been enough room if we had a 27fb. Bring solar or a small generator.
