Guests should expect a quiet, peaceful camping experience with plenty of room to enjoy their surroundings. ***This property is adjacent Highway 2 and there is a fair amount of road noise. There's also a train that's fairly close. The noise kinda comes with the territory, guests are also 10 minutes from the west entrance to the park. The noise does tend to subside considerably at night, but for those bothered by this type of noise, you might consider an alternate location. Most guests are truly fine with it.

Good Campground that’s kinda in the middle of everything. It is farther away from the stores but that’s how we like it. Avalanche Lake was beautiful and full of Trout. It was a fun trip!

We loved the close access to the Avalanche Lake hike and being within the park early to get a spot at a Logan Pass early. Loved the Avalanche Campground. Camped in tents and hammocks.

Plenty of space, easy access to potable water, and quick way to get to Logan Pass or other desirable trailhead parking. The closest restroom didn’t have soap in the bathrooms or a working dishwater dispersal area, but other restrooms (a quick walk away) provided these.

I really loved this campground, however, it is a popular campsite. In the busy season it is worth going early to get a spot for the night. I camped here in 2016 and if I remember correctly, there are no reservations.
