    Hi John,
    My friends all have reservations for the lodge, however I much prefer to camp. I will bring my 13' Scamp Trailer. I am from Kalispell and plan on driving over to Many Glacier CG very early Sunday July 28th. If I arrive at 7AM, do I just stay in line till a site opens? What are your thoughts re my getting a site. I will be staying 4 nights. Would be super if I can find a pull through, as it is a real task to back the trailer into some sites.
    Your input will be much appreciated.
    Penny

    Hi Park Ranger, John! This information is very helpful. I was wondering if you know which camp grounds allow primitive camping on in West Glacier in October?
