We stayed here mid June, and it was very dry. At first we were thrilled that our three dogs could run off leash, but soon realized that the grounds were covered with foxtails, both growing and cut. For those not familiar with these problematic weeds, please research their dangers to dogs. The head of the weed can enter ears, eyes, mouths, rears and sexual parts, where they behave as fish hooks, barbs that go in, but cannot come out. Our dogs have had three earlier surgeries to remove them from feet and ears. So we spent many panicked hours picking them out of our dogs’ coats, bed, carpets. Later at home we read about how this area in California, Kings County, has such a problem with these weeds.

For those without dogs, the site is very nice. People with pets…think twice about staying here.

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.
