Grizzly Safe Camp sites at Glacier

by Rob
(California)

Hi there- Two of us are planning a couple nights of car-camping in Glacier at one of your campsites in two weeks.

One of us is a semi experienced camper, I however am not and frankly fear like the idea of encountering a Grizzly Bear. Are there camp sites that are much safer ie have less (or no!) Grizzly Bear encounters?

I day hiked in Glacier last year, it was fantastic, but I made noise the whole time after coming across bear scat.

We'll be going from Missoula to Alberta and back to Whitefish this trip by car so any safer sites you can recommend would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Rob,

Unfortunately, no campground will be 100% safe from Grizzly Bears. That is why you must keep a clean site and follow all regulations.

That said, most of the grizzly bears hang out around Many Glacier Lodge. So, if you want to minimize your chances of an encounter, do not camp at Many Glacier campsite.

So long as you keep a clean camp, you should not encounter a Grizzly Bear while sleeping.

Either way, make sure you have bear spray!

Have fun and stay safe!
