Resort · Glacier National Park · Montana
West Glacier KOA Resort is a private, resort-tier campground about three miles from the West Entrance of Glacier National Park in Montana, on a forested property along Halfmoon Flats Road. It is the full-service counterpoint to dry camping at Apgar or Fish Creek: roughly 165 sites among mature conifers with two heated pools, hot tubs, adult saunas, a restaurant and the Bear Garden bar with nightly live music in season. It suits families, big rigs and first-time Glacier visitors who want comfort after long hiking days.

West Glacier KOA Resort is a private, resort-tier campground about three miles from the West Entrance of Glacier National Park in Montana, on a forested property along Halfmoon Flats Road. It is the full-service counterpoint to dry camping at Apgar or Fish Creek: roughly 165 sites among mature conifers with two heated pools, hot tubs, adult saunas, a restaurant and the Bear Garden bar with nightly live music in season. It suits families, big rigs and first-time Glacier visitors who want comfort after long hiking days.
RV sites have full 30/50-amp hookups with water and sewer on gravel pads; KOA lists pull-throughs up to 75 feet, though the longest rig reviewers report is a 40-foot fifth wheel. Pricing is date- and site-specific in the KOA booking flow, then a $25 nightly resort fee and tax are added, and peak July-August full-hookup totals run well over $100 a night. The season is roughly mid-May through late September, and July and August need four to six months' notice. The trade-off is cost: you are paying hotel money for a campsite, and the remote-location Wi-Fi is not reliable for work.

Best RV Parks in Montana: Glacier Country to Yellowstone GatewayIf Fish Creek and Apgar represent the national park dry camping experience, West Glacier KOA is the full-service counterpoint — and it is not shy about it. Located three miles from Glacier's west entrance, this 165-site resort has been called the "Taj Mahal of RV parks" by enough visitors that the nickname has stuck. Our full West Glacier KOA Resort review breaks down the rates, the nightly resort fee, and whether the premium is worth it.
Full hookups at 30/50 amp, gravel pads that officially accommodate rigs up to 75 feet (though experienced visitors report 40 feet as the practical comfort limit for most sites), a swimming pool, hot tubs, laundry facilities, and — this is the detail that gets mentioned in every review — the Bear Garden, an on-site bar and grill where you can get a craft beer and a burger after a day on Going-to-the-Sun Road.
The pricing reflects the resort positioning. Expect $133 to $167 per night depending on site type and season, before the resort fee. That is hotel money, and it is a genuine sticker shock if you are coming from $30 national park sites. The value proposition is the hookups, the hot tub recovery after hiking, and the convenience of walking distance to organized activities and shuttle services.
Cell signal improves significantly here compared to inside the park. Both Verizon 4G and AT&T 4G/5G have been reported as functional by multiple users, which makes this a workable option for remote workers who need connectivity during their Glacier trip.

Book West Glacier KOA if you want full hookups, pools and hot tubs a few minutes from Glacier's West Entrance and can absorb resort pricing. Skip it if you are on a budget, need working Wi-Fi or want solitude; Fish Creek and Apgar inside the park cost a fraction.
Yes. RV sites have 30/50-amp electric, water and sewer on gravel pads, and KOA lists pull-throughs for rigs up to 75 feet.
KOA does not publish a flat rate; the site price is set by date and site type, then a $25 per night resort fee and tax are added. Traveler reports put peak July-August full-hookup totals well above $100 a night, with lower rates in late May, early June and late September.
The $25 nightly fee covers the resort gardens, two heated pools, hot tubs, adult saunas, children's play areas, yard games, the pet playground and nightly activities, per KOA's general-information page.
About three miles, or a five-minute drive, from the West Entrance. Vehicles over 21 feet long or 8 feet wide cannot drive Going-to-the-Sun Road between Avalanche and Sun Point, so leave the rig at the KOA and use a smaller vehicle or the park shuttle.
Roughly mid-May through late September, weather dependent. Early June and the last two weeks of September are the best-value windows.
Four to six months ahead for July and August, earlier for the 4th of July and Labor Day weekends. September stays are usually bookable with two to three months' notice.
