About

Quartz Creek Campground is the smallest and most primitive campground in Glacier National Park, offering just 7 tent-only sites in the remote North Fork area on the park's west side. Located approximately 5.7 miles south of Polebridge, the campground is accessed via the Inside North Fork Road, a challenging, rough dirt road with many blind curves, few pullouts, and dusty conditions that make for a slow drive. This access road is not suitable for RVs or trailers, and truck-and-trailer combinations are prohibited. The campground maintains its primitive character throughout the season, with vault toilets available seasonally but no potable water, trash service, or modern amenities. Each site accommodates up to 8 people and 2 vehicles where space permits, with a maximum of 2 tents per site. Sites include picnic tables and fire rings, and campers may collect dead wood from the ground along the Inside North Fork Road from Dutch Creek to Kintla Lake for campfires. Food storage lockers are provided seasonally to protect against wildlife. This remote location offers tent campers a true wilderness experience in one of Glacier's least developed areas, ideal for those seeking solitude and a more rugged camping adventure away from the park's busier campgrounds.
