Foot Elizabeth Lake Campground

Elizabeth Lake Foot is a designated wilderness campsite in Glacier National Park with 5 campsites (4 reservable in advance) that opens June 15th and sits at the intersection of multiple trails, making it an excellent base camp for exploring the Many Glacier backcountry including Helen Lake, Cosley Lake, and the Ptarmigan Tunnel area.

A wilderness permit ($10 fee plus $7 per person per night) is required for overnight stays May 1-October 31.

The site is best accessed via the Ptarmigan Trail from the Many Glacier area and offers good fishing opportunities in Elizabeth Lake, though visitors should expect no cell service or wifi and must practice Leave No Trace camping ethics.
