Chewing Blackbones Campground

Haven't stayed here, but phone should be 406-732-4046 and website is https://blackfeetcampgrounds.com/

We paid $25 to dry camp. Seasonal flush toilets and hot showers are available in the middle of the campground along with portable-potties spread about the perimeter. Super convenient access to Many Glacier and St Mary’s entrances of the park. We had no problem getting out early to hit the trails. Paid laundry and free WIFI available at the visitor center. This is not a fancy place but nice people, great location make this a super value for dry camping.

I didn't stay here, but I drove through and thought it should be added to the site. In the summer this could be a very good option if you don't have reservations in the park or don't want to take the risk of not getting one in Many Glacier or St. Mary, this is located about halfway between the two. There are tons of sites, and it was not busy even in busy season, so it's likely you'll be able to get a site.

Dry sites are $20, full hookups are $50. You could fit any size rig in here, it looks like some of the locals live here full time possibly. The place looks a little scary at first blush, but take a look around at the sites and you'll see it's not so bad.

We asked for a site with no service. And that was no problem, there were plenty available. The sites in F area were not marked so we picked our own. The bathroom in our area was out of service for rebuilding. The bathroom 1/4 mi away was open, but some of the stalls were out of order. The bathroom smelled of mold and no hot water was available. I would not use it. The grass was way too tall. A lot of maintenance is needed. But good views of the mountains and lake access. They dinged us a 3.50 reservation fee when we walked up.

$45 (+$3.50 fee) gets you a site with water and electric only. There are toilets and showers which are absolutely disgusting (see photo). Shower is ice cold. WiFi only in the office was very slow. Go up the street for better amenities for the same price.

Ok I’ve read the other reviews and I don’t get it. This is a huge grassy area on Black Feet reservation land, run by native Americans with a real respect for keeping the land natural. There are full hookup sites, tent sites and water/electric, so lots of options. It’s located on the north end of St. Mary lake which is beautiful on it’s own and easily accessible from the park itself. We didn’t use the bathrooms so I can’t speak to the complaints there although on visual inspection they appeared modern with tile and modern fixtures. A short road through a lovely grove of aspens takes you from the office to the RV/camping section. The office is located on a separate part of the park adjacent to a huge area used for Indigenous people’s ceremonies complete with rentable authentic teepees. This area is wide open and great for dog walking and exploring or lake viewing. You’re maybe 20 minutes from the East Glacier entrance, 30 minutes from Browning which has groceries and supplies. The closest town is Babb which has a small general store (no gas so you have to go to Glacier entrance area for that). If you want to be chock-o-block with your neighbors, with swimming pool and lots of amenities then go to the KOA at the other end of the lake (same lake by the way). If you want wide open spaces, beautiful views, huge grassy parking and easy access to the Glacier area this is it. There’s also a super camp mascot herding dog named T-Rex who’ll greet you, become your temporary friend and generally endear you to the place and to him as well.

Loved this campground!
This place is huge. So spacious that we were far away from the nearest RVwhich made it so quiet.
We chose a non powered site right by the lake, and just ran the generator for an hour in the morning.
Grassy and flat and the lake is gorgeous and warm enough to swim.
We used our own shower, but they looked fine when saw the bathroom at one point.
No AT&T cell, but they did have free WiFi in the office if you need to check anything.

They cancelled our reservation due to COVID19 then tried to keep $183.50 and we had to report the charge as fraudulent because of their promise and failure to give us a refund after three weeks of daily and weekly promises they'd look into and refund by Megan Rider. They waited until the absolute last minute (the week before) to cancel, and only after we contacted them to inquire into extending our reservation. If we hadn't, we'd have traveled all the way to Glacier to discover upon arrival. We called ReserveAmerica and waited two hours on hold to talk to a supervisor who backed them up and refused to acknowledge their error (it was a campground cancellation). They stole $183.50 from us. DO NOT STAY HERE, EVER. BUYER BEWARE.

Run by the Blackfeet Nation, which we applaud. This CG has a lot of potential, but is generally in a run-down condition. Our pullthru site was spacious. Over 100’ to nearest water. Power to our section/loop was interrupted several times in the late afternoons when A/C demand was high. $10 fee for Dump station, and you had to wait for an attendant to come unlock it after payment. Convenient to St. Mary and west entrance to Glacier NP / Going to the Sun Road.

The staff will tell you that there is a Verizon signal, but it is non-existent when you are in the park. It seemed lovely here if you don't need internet, but if you need to work find another park. No Verizon, at&t, or wifi.
