Apgar Campground

Hosted by National Park Service

New listing

Apgar campground is the largest campground in the park. It is situated in trees and provides tent and RV campers with shade and some privacy. Evening sunsets on Lake McDonald are only a short stroll away, and you won't want to miss evening programs with a ranger at the Apgar Amphitheater. Many trails are located within a short drive of the campground. Conveniently located in the western part of the park, the campground is large, with 194 campsites. The sites are relatively spread apart and provide privacy for both RV and tent campers, and five group sites are available. Potable water is accessible in the campground, and restroom facilities have flush toilets and sinks with running water. Explorers of all ages can attend nightly ranger programs at the amphitheater within the facility. Apgar is heavily forested with partial shade, and some sites have views of Lake McDonald. The park is named for its prominent glacier-carved terrain and remnant glaciers descended from the ice ages almost 10,000 years ago. Its diverse habitats are home to nearly 70 species of mammals including the grizzly bear, wolverine, gray wolf and lynx. Over 270 species of birds visit or reside in the park, including such varied species as harlequin ducks, dippers and golden eagles. One must-see attraction is Waterton Lakes National Park, Glacier's sister park across the Canadian-U.S. border. As the other half of Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, Waterton Lakes offers great hiking, scenic boat cruises and several scenic drives all centered around the townsite of Waterton.
