    Two Medicine Campground - Glacier National Park

    Two Medicine Campground is one of the first campgrounds we ever camped in at Glacier National Park. The campground offers amazing views and easy access to the Running Eagle Falls trail.

    You will want to bring bug spray with you! We always find this campground to be a bit buggy with mosquitos with all the water around.

    If you love kayaking or canoeing the Two Medicine Campground offers easy access to Two Medicine Lake! Even without a boat, the views of the lake are amazing.

    Glacier Ticketed Entry

    In 2021, Glacier NP created a ticketed entry program for the Going to the Sun Road. This was created to help relieve congestion and allow visitors to enjoy the park.

    For 2025 the park will have ticketed entry from June 13 through September 28, 2025 between the hours of 7 am and 3 pm.

    One ticket per vehicle will again be required to enter the Going-to-the-Sun Road (GTSR) at the West Entrance, St. Mary Entrance, and the new Camas Entrance.

    A ticket per vehicle will also be required at the Polebridge Ranger Station to visit the North Fork area of the park.

    The GTSR and North Fork tickets will be two separate tickets. The park anticipates a portion of tickets becoming available by early March.

    The park will offer three-day tickets for GTSR rather than the seven-day ticket offered last year, and one-day tickets for the North Fork.

    Visitors with lodging, camping, transportation, or commercial activity reservations within the GTSR corridor can use their reservation for entry in lieu of a $2 ticket.
