Glacier Meadow RV Park — Hotel in Browning

Keep on looking

Wish I could be writing a positive review about this place, but save yourself the trouble and keep looking for another place to stay. We booked for 2 weeks but left early due to some big concerns we had.

They ask you to dump you’re gray tank on the ground in your own site. In the same breath they say it is bear country and ask you not to put trash in the dumpsters after 9pm and before 6am. Does not make sense to me I can dump my kitchen gray tank on my site. The build up of food particle and old milk from our kids bottles were not pleasant as bugs soon found their new home.

They will only will come pump out your black tank. We asked the initial camp host if we could go dump our selves at their station but we were told no. But another host told us as we were leaving we could go flush out. The same camp host who told us we could not flush out told my husband he just opens his gray tank into his black. We were so disgusted by this as this means his black and grey are mixing. SO when he dumps his gray tank on his site he is dumping some of his black tanks as well. Again not too sure about these sanitization practices.

The check in process took 40 minutes, which seemed excessive after a 6 hours drive. The older lady host read the rules to my husband twice using her highlighter. It was so patronizing. She asked several times if we had animals even after telling her no. She was very unkind and unprofessional. Not to mention the office area smelt of feces.

It is not BIG RIG friendly. Our 25 ft water hose we have been using at several other parks was not long enough with the way they are set up. We had to purchase an additional hose just for this site. The sites are very tight. It seem they are trying to make the spaces wider, but I’m unsure as things were explained poorly. We got a very old panic table and got many splinters trying to use it. Yet on some very empty sites they had new ones. You would think you would move the nicer picnic table to the site that would be there for 2 weeks.

We were placed in front of the ramada area. We were not told there would be a wedding there until after several days we were there. I do not understand why we would be placed in front of the ramada and why the wedding party was not. None the less on a rainy day while I was working my kids and husband were unable to use the Ramada and play ground area due to the amount of car park just in front of our site.

We have never had such a poor experience and felt so uncomfortable somewhere. Only nice thing I have to say is they have a great view and my Starklink worked so I was able to work….. oh but the hosts will “rent” you their Starklink as well. Which I’m sure is against Starlink policy.

We would never...

For starters if you're in this area cell and/or wifi service should be the last of your worries or thoughts. If you decide to make the trek to Glacier I would think that most people would visit with the hopes of getting away from or avoiding technology (netflix, directv, Facebook, etc). Once you enter the inner sections of the park itself there is no signal anyway. If your visiting this area and plan to spend most of your time on the internet (Bob Jourdan or Wyatt Thomas) then don't go because this place isn't what you need. You need to be at a Starbucks sipping your latte on the free wifi with your stuck up friends. If you can't go a few days or even a week without cell service then you have an addiction and need to seek help for that addiction. Also everywhere you go throughout the entire state of Montana there is either wind or a slight breeze, that is something people in Montana have learned to live/deal with. With all that being said this campground, in my opinion, is one of the best campgrounds I have ever visited...ANYWHERE, ANY STATE.

I first came here in 2002 and have been coming back off and on ever since. I have had a blast with every visit. They allowed me into their meadow to ride my atv, play with my dogs, and even light some fireworks on the Fourth of July. They informed everyone at the park I was going to light fireworks and I had a great crowd who enjoyed what I was doing even though it was raining. The services offered at this campground are great and the people who have managed this place over the years are even better. The showers are clean and well maintained. The campsites themselves offer enough space for the entire family. The workers at Glacier Meadows patrol the grounds continuously to ensure the safety of the people enjoying their campground. Along with offering advice on local sites/attractions to visit during your stay. They always do their best to accommodate your every need within the campground. And in my opinion there isn't a better campground in the area for the money you're going to spend.

If you're in the Glacier area to sit on your phone, watch tv, or be on the Internet continuously then this place isn't for you. If your there to enjoy nature, wildlife, and get away from it all (technology included) the Glacier Meadows/Glacier National Park area should be exactly what you're...
