Lake Ellen Wilson Campground, Wilderness campground in Glacier National Park, Montana
Lake Ellen Wilson Campground sits in a deep valley surrounded by mountain peaks, waterfalls, and dense pine forests at an elevation of 5,000 feet.
The establishment of Lake Ellen Wilson Campground in Glacier National Park followed the creation of wilderness protection laws during the mid-twentieth century.
The campground preserves traditional camping methods, requiring visitors to carry their supplies and practice wilderness skills without modern infrastructure or facilities.
Visitors need to obtain wilderness permits, bring bear-resistant food containers, and follow specific guidelines for camping between June and September.
The campground features designated cooking areas separate from sleeping zones, following research-based strategies to minimize encounters with local grizzly bears.
