Review

The camp site is located in a lodgepole pine forest right alongside Andrews Creek. It requires a short but very steep ascent along the trail to Andrews Glacier after splitting off from the main trail. This is the second-most popular site in the park, after Glacier Gorge - reserve it well in advance.

The site is smooth, level and spacious. There are numerous convenient fallen log benches. Near the camp, the forest opens up to a very large and very pretty meadow that was deforested by avalanche. (For those who are interested, the latrine is also scenically located.)
