Fantastic campsite. Beautiful, level, nicely shaded. Absolutely our favorite campground at Glacier. Love the easy access to the nearby trails. especially considering how much of a zoo it can be just trying to find parking near the Avalanche Lake trailhead. Based on the lackluster pictures, we were a little concerned about our rig being too big, but there was plenty of room for our F150 and 16' popup camper (about 35' total length).

A25 was leveled with a standard picnic table and bear locker. Liked the accessibility to be able walk to the Trail of the Cedars. Be prepared for a long walk to the restroom.

Isolated camping spot. Lots of tree coverage so it felt darker in the morning/evening. Short walk to the bathroom and right next to a water spout.

Nice scenic campground. Clean bathrooms. It's at the trailhead for the popular hikes Trail of the Cedars and Avalanche Lake.
