    Lake Shel-oole Campground

    Nice and quiet

    We spent two nights at this campground. Campground was quiet even for being in a railroad town. Hardly heard any train noise. Bathrooms appeared to get cleaned everyday. Sites have electric to them. Campground person came through every morning and talked to use. The local sheriffs office went through multiple times. Most water spickets did not seem to work so had to haul water from the spicket behind the RV dump station. This campground has issues with gophers and gopher holes. One camper got kicked out after six weeks of not paying while we were there according to the campground attendant. Lot cheaper than getting a hotel room at the cheapest hotel in town. Will stay again when we visit family in town.

    Lake Shel-oole Campground

    Good for a night or two

    The campground was mostly empty on July 3rd & 4th. A pay ($25 a night) station is on the honor system. Bathrooms and showers are old but in working order. A few sketchy looking campers here that look like from the movies breaking bad. If you know what I mean. Good for a night or two only.

    Lake Shel-oole Campground

    Quiet

    $25 a night. Restrooms and showers but did not need them. 30amp and water at some sites. Several spigots around the campground . Back in sites are small. Pull throughs are big rig friendly.

    City park

    We got here on Sunday and the campground was empty except for one other camper. Lots of sites with electric some have water. Plenty of spigots otherwise around the grounds. Still $25 but a great deal. Glad the town supports it. Police patrol often.

    Quaint Campground

    Great price for the quality of amenities the hosts offered. Excellent bathrooms and showers. Kind of a bummer that you can’t have bonfires with wood, only gas fire pits allowed here.

    Lake Frances City Park Campground

    Decent

    The RV sites all had electric hookups and they had good space between each. Not a lot of shade, though. Would be nice if there were walkways down to the water so you didn't have to beat through the trees and shrubbery. There is a playground for kids. The lake has lots of open shoreline. There is tons of local traffic. A lot of the same vehicles that just drive through 10-20 times a day. It's a bit annoying. Lastly, they do have port-a-potties around the grounds but they are all riddled with large spiders and generally out of TP.

    Lake Shel-oole Campground

    Quiet and Good Location

    Traveling Hwy 2, we were looking for a quiet spot. Clean bathrooms with showers, electrical hook up and water near by. “Lake” is small and silty. Perfect spot for a good night sleep, though. $25

    Clean, decent campground

    This is a clean respectable camping area. No privacy between sites, but they are level and a good deal for $25/night. Our site had electric hookups with water nearby. I don't think there was a camphost. Some large pull throughs and smaller back ins. Playfields are nearby and we heard the happy sound of kids playing in the background. Bathroom/showers were basic but clean.

    Shelby RV Park & Resort

    Good stop before Canada

    At this time it's only $25. We stopped here after leaving Canada, but would be a great last spot before entering Canada also. No sewage hookups, but they do have a dump station. Not all spots have water but most do. Make sure you have a long water hose as some of the water connections are far away. Overall, you can't beat the price and quiet atmosphere!! We decided to stay an extra day because it was so quiet and we wanted to catch up on some needed rest. It's a first come first serve, but even on the July 4th weekend it's was less an 3 people.

    Glacier Mist RV Park

    Short but great stay

    I had booked us with another RV Park in Browning, MT. One look at that place and we forfeited the payment and started a search for an RV Park that was cleaner, maintained, and safer in an area that was cleaner, maintained, and safer area. What an incredible find Glacier Mist RV turned out for us. It's undebatable why this park is an automatic return spot for so many RVers.  The park is situated on the east side of Glacier National Park - the perfect launch site for a visit to the Park and yeah incredible scenery. The owner, Carol, will never know what a lifesaver she was for us.

    Lewis & Clark RV Park

    Clean Quiet Safe Friendly

    Pulled in late evening twilight. Nestled in a hill pocket. Unassuming looks but what matters is the vibe and amenities for the price. New owners. Sites are tidy. Full and partial hookups. Sewer dump. Shining star is the bathroom and shower house. Clean. Updated and hot hot water if you like a nice hot shower. Quiet campers. Yard games available and large area to walk the dogs. Definitely stop here if I travel west again.

    Trails West RV Park

    Good for a quick stop

    Pros: large-ish sites, good utilities, great laundry and bathhouse. They take Passport America which knocks the fee down 50%. Cons: They have all of these huge pull thru sites but they still stuck us in one of the few cramped backup sites even though they are 80% empty and we're only here one night (no different pricing for different sites). I probably could have asked for a different site but I didn't know it'd be so short until got there. I got parked so it works for one night. It's kind of sad as this could be a really nice little campground but appears they've given up on it as the grounds are being over taken by thistle type plants and many of the trees they've planted appear to be dying. Bottom line, campground is good for an overnight stop which I'm sure much of their business is, but would be nice if they threw some weed-n-feed down to get the thistle growth under control.

    Lake Shel-oole Campground

    A decent place to stop over on your trip to or return from Canada

    My wife and I stopped at Lake Shel-Oole Campground on our trip to Canada this summer (July 3rd). The campground is a bit dilapidated, but had several spots available that were easy to pull into. Some sites were pull through and others were back in. Most sites have at least electric and some are water/electric. Some sites are also 50amp. There is also a dump on site.

    All sites are $25/night. Payment is on an honor system and drop cash into an envelope in a box near the entrance. The park says that it is under surveillance, but we did not see cameras. We saw one Toole County Sheriff's Deputy drive through the park while we were there.

    I think we counted a total of five other rigs staying the night with us. If you have kids there's a playground nearby and a baseball field. There are also several walking trails.

    We would definitely stay here again if we take the same route to Canada. Very convenient and quiet!

    Knowledgeable owner saved my Bacon

    The owners are wonderful people. He is a wealth of knowledge and willing to share.

    Listen to him. He saved us from taking things to Canada that we shouldn't take but

    were going to. The border patrol WILL search your motor home. They know all the

    hiding places. We got searched for over an hour. Luckily, I listened and took his advice.

    We will always stay at Lewis and Clark when in MT. We had a wonderful trip to Alaska

    via Canada. It could have turned out much different had we not stopped in Shelby at

    Lewis and Clark RV Park before crossing the border, and listened to this wonderful mans advice.

    He saved me from fines and maybe jail. I am forever grateful.

    Dirty and Pricey.

    $25 for a tent site. Tents are thrown behind the main office directly in the beam of a security light that stays on all night. The picnic are covered in bird poop. They do have showers and they were clean and comfortable. Close to the highway so traffic noise slowed down around 10pm. Not our favorite stop but convenient when fling in or out of Glacier.

    Last Campground before Canada

    Sparse but easy access and easy parking. Full hookups, showers(wear flip flops), WiFi in building. Stopped before crossing into Canada on our way to Alaska. This is a barebones campground but not much in this area and we wanted to plug in before heading north. Lots of prairie dogs and bunnies to entertain our four legged camper.
