hiker/biker camping?
I know hiker/biker campground reservations are released 4 days ahead of time. When those spots are released, can you book multiple nights? Or do you need to book night by night?
Hiker/biker campgrounds in Glacier National Park are designed specifically for travelers on foot or bike, and reservations for these sites indeed open only 4 days in advance. These campgrounds tend to be small and very popular, so planning ahead—even just a few days—is important.
Regarding booking multiple nights:
- Yes, it is possible to reserve multiple consecutive nights at hiker/biker campgrounds, as long as the nights you want are available when reservations open.
- However, availability can be extremely limited, especially during peak season. Many campers find that some nights book up immediately when the 4-day window opens, so you may need to check and book night by night if the consecutive nights you want are not all open at once.
- It’s recommended to have a flexible plan. If your desired site is only available for one night, you may need to stay at a different hiker/biker site for the following nights or adjust your route.
Tips for securing hiker/biker sites:
- Set a reminder for the exact time reservations open—these often fill within minutes.
- Have alternative sites and dates ready in case your first choice is taken.
- Consider combining hiker/biker sites with standard campgrounds if you’re traveling with a mix of hiking/biking days and driving days.
In summary, multiple-night reservations are allowed if available, but flexibility is key because high demand often requires booking night by night.
