Campsite is a bit small, lots of foliage. No hot water or hand soap in the bathrooms. Showers available behind the general store for $4 for 8 minutes. Not able to hang a hammock. Close to trails. A beautiful location. My 2nd time to visiting this Campground.
We have been coming to GNP for almost 40 years and Many Glacier CG is by far the best location in the park for accessing some of the best and most hiking trails. However, access to the Many Glacier CG is a challenge for several reasons. The long access road on the far east side of the park, from the Blackfoot reservation, is being rebuilt and long delays are common. Even when not under construction this road is challenging, and a lot further from St. Mary's than it looks on the map. Leave early or don't be in a hurry. Also, this part of the park is not subject to the traffic limits now imposed on the Going to the Sun Road, so visitors looking for alternatives are coming here in mass quantities (but from where I can't figure), so the Grinnell Glacier and other trail heads are packed by 9 am. Good luck finding parking or a quiet trail experience. Sigh. Also, we noticed that the reservation only camping availability at the Many Glacier CG creates many unoccupied sites, where visitors were either no-shows, or left early (as was our case). There doesn't seem to be a good system in place to in-fill the empty spots, since everything must go thru the Recreation.gov reservation site, and real-time updates of empty or vacated sites, to those looking for camping, isn't working very well, especially since cell service is mostly non-existent in this area. Even if you were looking and waiting for a cancellation on Recreation.gov (or a no-show), I don't see how the mechanics would work to best use the unoccupied sites. This needs to be improved somehow, since it is so sad to see these sites go unused, when there is an angry mob waiting at the gates (so to speak). Maybe go back to the old 50% first-come first-serve sites for this campground, after the pandemic. This has it's own problems with wanna-be campers trolling around every day waiting to pounce on the campers that appear to be packing up. Maybe a lottery system for stand-by campers, or something more fair.
We arrived in the morning, expecting our campsite to be waiting for us, only to discover that someone else was set-up in our site. My name was on the post, but that didn't deter the occupants, who never arrived back at the site until the threat of being ousted had passed. Apparently, despite my pre-reservation and payment, we were not able to stay in the site we payed for! Fortunately, the camp host was able to put us in the last, unoccupied spot - a group camping spot that we shared with another couple. We were unable to utilize the fire-pit (as they were already set up next to it) and merely slept there for the night. We will not return to this campground or recommend it to anyone.

Mobile Data Speed Map
#123
If there are speed tests submitted for a campground the campsite icons will be colored based on the average download speed and the border will be colored based on the average upload speed.
In this example Campsite #123 has very good download speeds and decent upload speeds. If a campsite has a solid yellow color it means there was no data speed detected in the test(s). Clicking on a campsite icon reveals more details.
