Sperry Campground, Backcountry campground in Glacier National Park, Montana, United States
The campground sits at an elevation of 6,500 feet, featuring several designated tent sites surrounded by mountain peaks and alpine meadows in Glacier National Park.
The campground was established near the Sperry Chalet, constructed in 1913 by the Great Northern Railway as part of the early tourist infrastructure in Glacier National Park.
Rangers conduct educational programs at the campground, teaching visitors about Native American traditions and the natural heritage of the Montana wilderness.
Access requires a 6.5-mile uphill hike with 3,600 feet elevation gain, and visitors must obtain wilderness permits for overnight stays at designated campsites.
Mountain goats frequently visit the camping area, requiring campers to carefully store their belongings as these animals attempt to consume clothing and camping materials.
