Glenns Lake Foot (GLF) is a wilderness campground at the western end of Glenns Lake in the remote Belly River valley of Glacier National Park. The site contains four individual tent sites: two positioned along the lakeshore and two set farther back — one near the water and one in the surrounding forest. A vault toilet and designated food hang stations are provided; no potable water is available on-site, so campers must treat water from the lake. Reaching the campsite requires an overnight hike of roughly 10 miles from the Belly River trailhead via the Belly River Trail. A wilderness camping permit is required for all overnight stays, with advance reservations available through Recreation.gov for trips between mid-June and late September.
Per person, per night backcountry camping fee (in addition to a $10 non-refundable permit reservation fee)

The privy is straight ahead on the trail after arriving into camp. Hang all food and cooking devices in the designated area before going to your campground.
Camping fee: $7 per person, per night. Permits required year-round for overnight backcountry stays.
