Glacier Lodge has sites available for Instant Book. When you select Instant Book, your reservation will be automatically approved.
Any non-Instant Book sites will still require campground approval.
Established in 1917, Glacier Lodge, nestled at just below 8,000 feet on Big Pine Creek, has always been the gateway to some of the best hiking, fishing, hunting and climbing in the country. And as the new owners, we are here to help you with whatever experience you desire.
Up here, Silence. It's the first thing you hear after you take a deep breath of mountain air, filling your lungs deeply with the healthy pine scent and letting it out slowly. You can hear the sweet breeze through the pine trees and feel it's coolness on your bare skin. You see into forever, and the mountains soar toward the bluest blue sky you've ever seen. If you choose to rough it with us during the off-season, you will experience a brisk cold, howling winds and often light snowflakes covering the ground. Campfires are cozy as you sit outside and enjoy the scenery. After all, you are here to enjoy the outdoors.....right??
In 1998, an electrical fire burned the main lodge to the ground. It was a great loss for all of us. This was one of many fires that has plagued mountain resorts in years past. We are planning on rebuilding the Majestic Glacier Lodge as early as 2025. In the meantime, 8 rustic cabins, rv sites and tent sites remain open for rental and allow easy access to the beautiful high country along with
We look forward to hearing from you and visiting with you when you arrive. Campfires, if used carefully, are allowed in the pits outside each cabin.
SOME GREAT INFO:
***NO USE OF MICROWAVES, COFFEE MACHINES, HEATERS, AC, or anything with a heating element at your site unless it's connected to a different power source other than Glacier Lodge. Campsites do NOT have any power. Our resort runs off of hydroelectric energy which is power generated by moving water. For us, our hydro water supply comes from Big Pine Creek. As the creek level varies, so does our flow of power. This is the most basic AND UNSTABLE in terms of power supply due to many factors such a creek level, a block in the hydro-electric generator, weather, temp manual shut down for maintenance. There is no power to the campsites only for the 2024 season. All sites have water
***Our campground, while beautiful, is very rocky, curvy (thanks trees) and at a heavy incline which makes towing larger (30-35 ft) rigs without 4x4 nearly impossible***
***Our campground bathroom is rough, but has a working toilet until being upgraded at the end of the 2024 season
***No electric vehicle charging***
Open Dates: April 16 to November 15
RV and tent camping areas have access to a restroom with a flush toilet.
No microwave and air-conditioner allowed in RV sites.

First, even tho this is a two star review, I still wanted to thank you for actually supplying facts and not opinions! Second, yep! Our strip of a campground is...well...it is what it is!!! And nothing is level. Third, the bathroom sucks! And we are truly sorry that it wasn't tended to regularly while you were there. It normally is...but still the toilet sucks and last year a guest clogged the sink with ? and knocked it off the wall. If you are wondering why its not fixed yet...It is still clogged and the wall needs to be ripped into and the concrete has to be broken to get to the clog and also upgrade the plumbing!! It is getting completely remodeled next year and will most likely include an addition of a few token showers! To end, I'd be upset about the poaching. Quite frequently we get Big Pine Creeks campers accidentally and we have to collect $ from that host, and also we get last minute bookings desperate for a spot and they'll pay via Venmo if it's late at night. But yes, sometimes people suck and take advantage of our private, family owned, 2 employee business and "poach" our sites. If you stayed in the last couple of weeks, we were soooooooo short on help. Not an excuse, just an explanation! No bears=no bear boxes! Currently working on a solution for the trash situation! Totally agree with you about the website...hope they see this. It barely works for us too! Take care!

Thanks for the poor review, Kip. But a couple of things, Why didn't you come and tell me face to face and tell me that you had an issue? The general store is open from 9-6 daily, I would have happily worked with you on any issues or compensation. Or even grabbed a bag and get the trash myself. Sometimes it's easier to just help and be part of the solution instead of the problem... hint hint We don't have any oil pans, as we don't do any mechanical services. As far as BBQ, yes, we have a large one, and sometimes the pans(trash) are greasy, sorry if I missed some. And damn those forest animals for allowing us to camp in their home then freeloading off our leftovers.
