Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Hope to RV camp near east entrance in Glacier mid July. All reservable sites are taken. Historic fill times are before 8am. If we are able to secure a non reserve site before 8 am, what and where do we hang out with our 25’ Fifth wheel and tow vehicle while we wait for site to be vacated later in the day?  Reports say parking areas fill early with cars. Has anyone experienced getting a non-reservable site during peak fill tines?

Getting a site in the park at this late date is unlikely. I would. Heck the KoA in St. Mary’s just outside the east entrance. Actually I would skip Glacier entirely as it don’t have much in the way of glaciers and drive a bit north to Banf or Jasper NPs in Alberta. Much better scenery.

We went in 2015 and stayed at St. Mary's RV park. Glacier has a lot of scenary if hiking. Like they said above we went to Canada to see Glaciers and the scenery was awesome. Fires started in Valley of Glacier so we had to leave account smoke and ashes. Went around to the west side and it had a lot more to offer for scenery and trail to play on. Over the sun road was blocked on the east side with fire so that had a little in us moving too. Good Luck and have fun.

If you make it to the west side go to Pole Bridge.

If you're going to Glacier…and have passports…then I suggest adding in Banff and if possible Jasper NPs up in Canada…scenery is way, way better.

We've been to Glacier two times along with 1 aborted drive by when we discovered that Going to the Sun Road was closed due to fires. In any event…there's way more glaciers up in Banff/Jasper, more mountains, and fewer people as well. 

Our overall opinion is that if you're going to do both Glacier and the Canadian equivalents…make sure you do Glacier first as it will be less than impressive after seeing the ones across the border.

We've stayed in the KOA on the east side once and down in Great Falls once.

Another option is to stay on the west side of the park near Hungry Horse. Very easy access to the Lake McDonald area and the Going To The Sun Road - provided they're not still working on it. For 2019, I will be traveling to Banff and Jasper early to mid June with a week in both areas. While Glacier - especially the Many Glacier portion - has it's own definite charm, the road into Many Glacier is (was) the pits - literally.

Now I'm adding this to my list and probably go there by 2020.

If you've never been, yes go because the glaciers are receding very quickly.
