Many Glacier is about the best you can get.All them can fill VERY QUICKLY. Rising Sun would be nice also.All the good ones fill up before noon so get there EARLY. If you need any info on the area just let me John Before you buy.

Sorry to say the Jammers were declared unsafe this last summer due to age and stress fractures in the frames. All have been replaced with vans with tops so the view is not nearly as good. There is some talk of restoring/reframing the Jammers so maybe they will be back in a year or two. gfm
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – what did you mean by "jammer" ride? Tom, Jammers are the circa 1930s vehicals they use to take tourist to the top and over the Mts. They seat about 18 and the canvas top rolls back for a great view. Vehicals over 20′ are not allowed, so we couldn’t drive it in our 24′ MH….THANK GOD. The vehicals are geared way down and the drivers used to grind a few gears as they JAMMED the shift. into the next gear…atleast that’s the myth. Digger AKA Grumps (old and crusty) Y2K COMPLACENT

We stayed in park called Spruce Park just east of Kalispell. It is not fancy and not expensive but many sites are just litrally a few feet from from the Flathead River with the mountians in the background. Happy trails Julian Any one have any good campground or rv park around the park for july or August, that they would recommend??? Is the West or East side the best to stay at???

I would stay on the west side. Take the dingy on "Going to the Sun" highway–rv’s are not allowed. I think they will be doing major restoration to the road this summer. I used to have the url for the NP, but i can’t find it now. Take the loop around to US2 and stop at Essex and have lunch at the restored Great Northern Railroad lodge. And notice the large difference between the east side and west side of the Rockies. Once on the west slope, trees all over, but on the east side–almost barren. We drove US2 from N ID to WI this past fall, Ex work in MT and ND the road was a pretty nice road. Much nicer driving a moho on it than I90. hth, ron – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Any one have any good campground or rv park around the park for july or August, that they would recommend???

We stayed at the West Glacier (MT) KOA in September 1999 and had a very good park. It has a large open area with pads for large Class A Motorhomes or anybody that wants that much room, or an area with trees. We were able to park our 34 foot Class A in the trees and enjoyed the peace and quiet. They are about 5 miles West of the West Glacier, MT entrance. They have a rec room with TV and phone jack for those wishing to dial into the Internet.

Digger, Not having been there, but planning to go, what did you mean by "jammer" ride? I’ve heard of "going to the sun road". Tom

Perhaps because the setting is so spectacular. Don’t miss the "jammer" ride to on "going to the sun road" well worth the time & $$$ Digger AKA Grumps (old and crusty) Y2K COMPLACENT

We stayed at Mountain Meadow RV Park in Hungry Horse, about 9 miles west of the west entrance to Glacier. This has to be one of the best RV parks we have ever stayed in, with large wooded sites.

We stayed at "Johnson’s of St Mary Campground". OK park. Good food at the restraunt. It is on the east side, right where "Going To The Sun" road comes out. When we go back we will probably stay there again. James Summers RVing, woodworking, IBM-ret 1996 turbo-diesel Chevy + 1994 30′ Carri-Lite fifth-wheel

Don’t think that’s what Wayne meant. The park name you refer to is Canada but the Glacier part is in the US. Wayne was probably referring to Canada’s Glacier National Park which is located about 170 miles northwest–between Golden and Revelstoke, B.C. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – To which Glacier Park do you refer?
