About
The Cut Bank Campground is located on the east side of Glacier National Park and provides a sense of peace and quiet that may not be found in larger campgrounds within the park. The campground is accessed by a 5-mile dirt road off of highway 89. The campground is geared toward tent campers. RVs are not recommended. Starting in 2025, Scan & Pay will be required through the Recreation.gov app to pay for a campsite. This requires downloading the free Recreation.gov mobile app prior to arrival.
Fees
Cut Bank summer fee: $20. Campsite capacity is limited to eight people and two vehicles, where space is available. A maximum of two tents per site is permitted. Cut Bank is a primitive campground all season. There is no water available and campers are advised to bring their own drinking water.
