Really liked Alpine Meadows. There are not many sites, which is perfect. No overcrowding. They allowed dogs, which was what we needed. They had an adorable, very friendly pup, Penny that came to great us too. They did have a port-a-potty which was nice. The host was very nice, and when we first reserved the site, Jesse messaged me very quickly, and gave us great directions to get there. Its close to Glacier which was great for us too.

We had an amazing stay at this Hipcamp while visiting Glacier National Park. The property was peaceful, well-maintained, and offered incredible views that made it feel like a true Montana experience. One of the biggest highlights was the wildlife. We saw deer regularly and loved waking up to the sounds of nature each morning. The campsite felt secluded enough to relax but was still conveniently located for exploring Glacier and the surrounding area. The hosts were welcoming, helpful, and clearly take pride in their property. Everything was exactly as described, and it was the perfect home base after long days of hiking and sightseeing. If you're looking for a quiet, scenic place to stay near Glacier National Park, I would highly recommend this spot. We'd gladly stay here again on our next trip.
