Cardwell RV Park

By far, this has been the single best private campground we have stayed at. It's a small campground just off Hwy 90. There are some shaded spots, depending on where you park. The landscape is wonderful, next to the river are cattails and tall grass. There are several swings scattered about for just leisure, a good place to read a book or watch for wildlife. There is a small outdoor theatre, and an area with a burn pit and benches overlooking the Slough. There is a canoe/kayak launch onto the Slough on the property. The manager even provided shuttle for my husband for a short kayak journey. The campground has a food truck, convenience store, fuel and propane. There is also a small bar and casino. As we were staying at the campground, we received a discount on our LP which we didn't expect. We had only planned on staying one or two nights as we were having repairs done on our camper. When we found out that we would need to extend our stay they changed our daily rate to a weekly rate which really helped us out. My only issue - I never saw the moose!! There is a family of four or five that are generally in the area.

We enjoyed our stay at the campground. It was very well parked out. My only complaint is while the free laundry is nice, it does encourage bad behavior. There was a girl, who was not a guest, doing 6-7 loads of laundry that tied up the laundry for over 3 hours. She did not appear to be a paying guest as she drove in from outside the campground to do her laundry and drove off the campsite when she picked up her laundry. If the owners are allowing her to do this, at least tell her to leave one set of machines free for paying customers.

I am so happy I decided to stop here, while heading through Montana. Front desk, at the shop in front - so helpful and friendly. I was tired and hot. Got a great spot under a tree. Tranquil views. Clean bathroom and showers. The store has everything you could want and complimentary coffee in the morning. Plus! A food truck where I grabbed dinner. My Smashburger was excellent as was the mac and cheese. I got a great night's sleep. There's also a gas station to fill up in morning. And a pub that I didn't need to use but looked fun!

Great Alternative to the State Park This is a small, well-kept campground just off the highway, about 15 minutes from Lewis & Clark Caverns. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was peaceful. We had a tent site in the back, and all sites are conveniently close to the bathrooms, which were extremely clean and recently updated. A nice bonus—there’s free use of a washer and dryer, plus stream access. The highway is nearby, so there is some road noise, but it didn’t bother us. We were initially disappointed that we couldn’t get into the state park, but this ended up being an even better option. On-site, there’s a food truck serving amazing BBQ, live music, a small bar, a general store, and even a gas station. Everything you need is right there. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved the campground. The bathrooms/showers and laundry room were very clean. Loved Glassy Junction bar! Special thanks to Martina, Kristen and Christina - they are some of the nicest ladies ever. We appreciated their suggestions for different day trips (especially Martina). You all made our first trip to Montana amazing!!!
