🐻 Save time! Buy your National Park Pass before your trip
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.
