I just started my research on GNP and planning to go summer '24. Thinking of spending 7 days there. This thread is very helpful.
I've heard reserving campsites in the park can be difficult. Should I be prepared to be online the minute the campsites are reservable?
I like the idea of splitting the time between east and west campsites, but worried that will complicate the window of opportunity to reserve the campsites.
Anyone stay at Fish Creek and can share 28' trailer with slides friendly campsite numbers?2021 Imagine XLS 23bhe

Thank you! On my RVTW itinerary that I'm plotting. Waiting to see where @Steven@147 stayed in Alpine as we would probably head to Teton after YNP and Glacier.

FYI you can drive through Yellowstone to the Teton and back in a day. We just did it. West Yellowstone is a cool little town lots of good places to eat.

GNP just started (this past summer) taking reservations for a couple of campgrounds in the park that have previously been ‘first come’. Apgar was one of those. We were there Jun 19- Jun 26, 2022. We originally made reservations at West Glacier RV. Because this was the first year they opened Apgar to reservations (Recreation.Gov), they were late (first part of April, 2022) getting the site survey done and opening the CG to reservations. We booked our spots as soon as they opened to reserve. We got the spots we wanted, but I mean we booked the exact moment the site opened the reservation window. We checked back later that evening (just curious what was left) and the entire CG had been clobbered with reservations (crazy how fast they went). We kept our reservations at West Glacier RV because we were concerned about the accessibility of sites (our 5’er is pretty big… 42’). We ended making it into the site at Apgar, but it was REALLY tight… the reservation at West Glacier was just insurance and we ended up forfeiting our deposit (like $100… worth it to us as a backup).
If you’re interested in the actual ‘drive-thru’ view of most any campgrounds, they’re typically available on YouTube. We ended up staying in the Apgar ‘C’ Loop and this video was really helpful (it gives you an idea what these videos can illustrate).

On the west side of FlatHead Lake south of Kalispell there is a nice state park that was lightly used when we went through in April last year. Was still cool but not bad, clear roads. It is about two hours from Glacier National park so maybe not a good staging place but beautiful campground and area.

We were at GNP in early August this year. GTTS Road was open as far as Logan Pass from the west side. That road is very narrow with sharp curves; a small vehicle may traverse it well, but it’s not the place to take any kind of tow vehicle. We opted to make a reservation with the Red Bus Tour and leave the driving to someone else. It was worth every penny; we were all able to see the sights without any one of us having to focus undivided attention on driving. We opted to stay at an RV campground in Hungry Horse and commute to the park. If you want to get REALLY adventurous on the west side, check out Polebridge, MT and the entrance there; it was one of the highlights of our visit.

West Glacier RV is nice. Supposedly West Glacier KOA is nicer. We stayed at WEst Glacier RV and found it totally acceptable. I even had the opportunity to take a fly fishing lesson presented at the RV park. Do visit Whitefish old downtown. Great venue. Do take the going to the sun road via the red bus. totally worth it. do take the lake mcdonald lake tour on the 100 year old boat. great adventure. visit apgar and have lunch. safe travels!
