I enjoyed my stay here! I was traveling in a campervan and exploring Many Glaciers, which was a 35ish minute drive to Many Glacoer hotel parking lot. I chose this spot for the amenities as a warm shower and a clean portapotty comes in handy! I also used the microwave which they have available for use. Abby was very attentive and helpful. Thank you!

Spectacular. This is a destination within a destination. Ridiculous views, comfortable spot and great amenities. We really could not have asked for more. If you like to fish they have the at. If you want to kayak they have that. If you need a hot shower, they have that. Scoot into the park come back to base camp- great spot for that too.

This was a lovely place to stay for our visit to Glacier. Abby & Anna did a great job at making us feel welcome and comfortable while still allowing us privacy. They were willing to go above and beyond to ensure a positive stay for their visitors, and they always had great advice on things to do at the park (including Waterton as well!). I also want to note that we are a queer couple and we felt very safe and welcome at this HipCamp. We are always a little hesitant to book places with hosts on site because we are not sure if we will be emotionally/physically safe, so I want to include it here in case there are any other queer couples looking at the reviews to see if they would feel safe here. Based on our experience, yes, you would! For tent campers, there are a few options to choose from. We were really happy being able to be in the trees with privacy and a little room to spread out. For RV/Van campers, there is plenty of space down by the water that make for a great view. Being on the lake, we were a little worried about wind. I will note that it did get windy a few nights. We were there in mid-September, so we understand that it was close to the end of the season. Even with the wind, we were quite comfortable. And the view is absolutely amazing!! It was nice having access to the showers, microwave, and other spaces. They did a great job keeping everything clean. We would definitely stay here again - it was great!

Ok, I have to confess that when we left this morning I kind of teared up. What can I say but that we absolutely loved our stay with Abby and Anna! Not only is it the most wonderful location on Duck Lake with a gorgeous view of Glacier, but they both are the most lovely and gracious couple ever!! We enjoyed being close to the park and had a great adventure going to Waterton Lakes in Canada where we did an incredible hike to Wall Lake. Highly recommend as it is not nearly as crowded as Glacier. Spent our last day just relaxing at the lake and fishing from their great little boat with an electric motor. Caught so many beautiful trout and even had one for dinner! Ten stars…we can’t wait to return someday!

The view was incredible, the hospitality was even better. Abby and Anna were the sweetest and most attentive hosts. They made sure I had everything I needed and checked on me. I was traveling alone so having friendly people to talk to back at camp was such a huge bonus! Also the outdoor shower with hot water was just incredible. Having paddleboards and kayaks I could use on the lake at their property was so fun!

This was our first ever stay at a Hipcamp, and it set a high bar. The owners were welcoming and the amenities exceeded our expectations. The other guests were friendly. Drive times to east side entrances to Glacier National Park were reasonable. We had no issues driving and parking our Class B camper van to or on the property, although a good stretch of the drive was unpaved. We would stay there again.
