Glacier National Park Accommodations
Inside the Park

Park accommodations include campgrounds; rustic cabins; modern motel-type facilities; and large hotel-like lodges dating from the early 1900s.


All accommodations within the park, other than campgrounds, are operated by concessionaires. Campgrounds are operated by the National Park Service.

Chalets

Earlier this century, the Great Northern Railway built chalets to market Glacier National Park as the "Switzerland of America". Although many no longer exist, Granite Park Chalet and Sperry Chalet are open to the public and operated by concessionaires. Be warned that the former has no running water.
