Glacier HipCamp (by Reservation Only) is conveniently located at 123 Greens Rd, Coram, MT 59913, USA. This address places it just minutes, typically 5-10 minutes, from the West Glacier entrance of Glacier National Park. This proximity is a significant advantage for locals eager to explore the park's iconic trails, scenic drives, and breathtaking vistas without long commutes.

Coram itself is a small community situated along US Highway 2, the main artery leading to West Glacier. Greens Road, while a smaller local road, is generally accessible. Visitors have noted that the camp is "tucked back off the road," suggesting a quiet and private atmosphere despite its convenient location near a major route. While larger vehicles and RVs might need to consider specific site dimensions, the overall accessibility is good for various vehicle types, including those towing trailers or vans, especially at designated sites. Some sites are better suited for larger vehicles up to 40 feet in total length, while others are more secluded for smaller vehicles or tent campers.

The ease of access from nearby towns like Columbia Falls (about 9 miles away, offering larger grocery stores, cafes, and urgent care), Kalispell, or Whitefish makes it a practical choice for Montanans seeking a quick escape. Despite being close to the main highway and train tracks (which can sometimes be heard in the distance), the camp’s design and natural surroundings work to create a peaceful environment. The strategic location allows for easy exploration of not only Glacier National Park but also other local attractions such as the Whiskey Barn, Paul Bunyan Bar & Grill, Glacier Hi-Line Ropes Course, and the Amazing Fun Center, all just a short drive or bike ride away via the Gateway to Glacier Bike path.
