Two Medicine Campground to Open Tomorrow

The road to Two Medicine and a loop of the Two Medicine Campground are anticipated to open by mid-day on Saturday, April 18. Services will be limited. Two Medicine is located on the east side of the park, approximately 13 miles from the community of East Glacier.

Glacier National Park Superintendent Jeff Mow said, “We are pleased to have the Two Medicine area accessible to the public this early in the year.” Mow said snow conditions across the park are varied and park personnel are busily working to provide public access.

The Two Medicine Campground is planned to open Saturday with limited sites, on a first-come first-serve basis. Water and restroom facilities will be available and the nightly camping fee will be $20. The recreational vehicle dump station will not be available.

The Two Medicine Lake is free of ice. The boat dock will not be available and boat inspections for Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) must be scheduled in advance by contacting the park at 406-888-7800. The restroom facility near the lake will be open. The general store will not be open.

Travelers may also want to note that entrance fees to Glacier National Park, as well as other units of the National Park Service, will be waived this weekend, April 18-19, in honor of National Park Week.
