Getting to Glacier National Park by RV puts you inside one of America's great wild places rather than in a motel an hour away. Here's everything you need to plan the approach from our nearest verified depot city: Missoula.
The depot in Missoula is 130 miles from Missoula depot from the park entrance. Most major fleet operators allow airport pickup or drop-off coordination — search below for live availability.
Maximum vehicle length: 21 ft for Going-to-the-Sun Road; no limits at Apgar or Fish Creek
Always verify the specific campground's size limit on Recreation.gov before booking. Size limits in national parks are strictly enforced and campsite lengths often determine whether you can park without unhitching.
Apgar (hook-up sites, 35 ft max), Fish Creek, St. Mary
Book on Recreation.gov — the 6-month advance reservation window for peak-season sites fills rapidly.
If your RV is over 21 ft, park at Apgar and ride the free park shuttle up Going-to-the-Sun Road — the shuttle experience is actually better than driving.
The road was built in 1933 with tight switchbacks, overhanging rock, and no guardrails on many sections. Vehicles over 21 ft (6.4m) in length or 8 ft (2.4m) in width cannot safely navigate the upper mountain section. The restriction applies to the section between Avalanche Creek and the Sun Point parking area.
Apgar Village on the west side is the most convenient — large RVs up to 35 ft are accommodated, electric hookup sites are available, and you can walk to the shuttle stop for GTTS Road. Moose sightings in the morning are common near the campground's back loop.
