Select the campground where you wish to stay. The campgrounds tend to fill up early in the summer months and if you plan on making a reservation to guarantee a spot you must pick from the three which offer this service. The Aspenglen Campground, located at 8,200 feet above sea level, is only open during the summer months and can accommodation almost any size of group. The Glacier Basin Campground, located at 8,500 feet above sea level, is also only open during the summer months, and offers sites that can accommodate vehicles up to 40 people per site.
