St. Regis, Montana, is at the intersection of I-90 and MT Hwy 135. This is a great way to get to Glacier National Park, and it was for this reason that I was passing through late one Friday evening. Having rode past the campground many times, I knew that it was there, but had never had a reason to stop before. That evening was the perfect time to make that stop and see what the campground is all about. It is about 3.5 miles outside of St. Regis. From the freeway, you head left at the four way stop and continue on Old US 10 for about 1.5 miles. Take another left onto Little Joe Road and cross over the freeway. Continue on over the river and through the woods, until you have traveled roughly another 2 miles. The campground will be on the left.

The campground is not finished yet, so there are currently no fees to camp. When the campground is improved, there will be the standard $10 a night charge with $5 for an additional vehicle. There is a vault toilet that stays open until about November 4. There is no reservation system for this campground and it is first-come-first-serve. It looked like there were two campsites to the right of the entrance, and I think I saw about four or five other spots to the left. The campground is open year round, dependent upon snow levels (I am not sure this road gets plowed in winter). There is a seasonal creek that flows near the campground for a little ambiance.

Overall, I slept really well at this campground. The airplanes stopped flying over before I fell asleep. The road is a little close to the campground, and road noise might be an issue. It is not a really heavily trafficked road, so this should not be a massive issue. It is a good place to stop and rest before heading to Glacier, especially if you are planning on camping anyways. The park is roughly a three hour drive from here, so it is a great place to stay and avoid the heavy tourist pricing around the Flathead Valley. There are a few places to get food and gas in St. Regis, and I highly recommend filling up at the Travel Center and checking out the aquarium while you are there.
