The National Park Service is proposing increases in campground fees in Glacier National Park in Montana/NPS, file

Glacier National Park staff is seeking public comment on a proposal to increase most campsite fees in 2024, with most sites looking at a $10/night increase.

The last major fee rate change occurred in 2007, a park release said, adding that "fee rate increases are necessary to be in closer alignment with nearby campgrounds outside the park that provide similar services."

Fee changes would apply to Apgar, Avalanche, Bowman, Cut Bank, Fish Creek, Kintla, Logging Creek, Many Glacier, Quartz Creek, Rising Sun, Sprague Creek, St. Mary, Two Medicine Campgrounds and group sites at Apgar, Many Glacier, St. Mary, and Two Medicine campgrounds. In general, the park has identified the following proposed fee rate changes.

• Hiker/bicyclist sites (no vehicles allowed) in all campgrounds would increase from $5 to $8 (St. Mary, Fish Creek, and Many Glacier would not change since current rates are $8).

• Standard summer peak-season tent sites would increase from $10-$23 to $15-$30.

• Standard off-season tent sites would increase from $10 to $15-$20.

• Group sites with maximum capacities of 24 would increase from $60-$65 to $90.

• in 2025 the Apgar group site with a maximum capacity of 15 would decrease from $65 to $45.

• The St. Mary off-season group site with a maximum capacity of 24 would decrease from $60 to $40.

• Winter camping rates in Apgar and St. Mary would not change.

Public comment is being taken through September 8. You can find additional details, and leave your comments, at this site.
