Planes, RVs, and Automobiles

Major increases in passengers at Glacier Park International Airport, packed campgrounds and a proliferation of RV parks highlight summer’s busy tourism season

Northwest Montana is many things to many people: home, a getaway, a wild place of adventure, the place you plant your heart and wait for the rhythms of nature to help it to grow.

But one thing Northwest Montana is not? A secret. At least not anymore.

Summer is the busiest time of year for the Flathead Valley and surrounding areas, due to the incredible magnetism of the landscape and the welcoming and laidback ethos of mountain culture.

Glacier Park International Airport is posting the highest passenger numbers in its history, hotel occupancy rates are bustling and new hotels come online each year. But many visitors get here via modes of transportation other than planes, and stay in campgrounds or RV parks, a trend showing high demand for these kinds of overnight stays.

“We are full. We’re even having a busier spring and fall season,” said Faith Bengtson, assistant manager at the West Glacier KOA campground. “We’re still turning people away, and it’s mostly RVs that we’re turning away.”
