Glacier Mist RV Park in Cut Bank accommodates pets at all site types with designated pet exercise areas around the perimeter of the grounds. Many campgrounds near Sweet Grass allow dogs at tent sites, RV spots, and cabin rentals, including Shelby RV Park & Resort and Lake Shel-oole Campground. Most require pets to be leashed when outside RVs or tents. Lewis & Clark RV Park maintains clean sites with grassy areas for dog walking and enforces standard quiet hours to minimize barking disturbances. The campground sits just off I-15, making it convenient for overnight travelers with pets heading to or from Canada. The park's WiFi reaches 124 Mbps download speeds, allowing pet owners to research nearby veterinary services.

    Lake Shel-oole Campground

    Lake, Trails and so much more

    Lake Shel-oole Campground is a hidden gem in Shelby, Montana! This campground offers a plenty to do. There are baseball diamonds, a nice little dog run with a couple of obstacles, a fishing dock (although when we were here the lake water was pretty low) and biking trails. If you follow the bike trail it will take you to a paved exercise trail. The facilities are well-maintained, the showers are nice and hot, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. Whether you're traveling in an RV or setting up a tent, the spacious sites provide comfort and convenience. It's an ideal spot.

    Lake Shel-oole Campground

    Pleasant Municipal Campground Near Glacier National Park

    An hour and a half east of the St. Mary entrance to Glacier National Park--great when you are (like us) headed east after a long day in the park--this municipal campground exceeded expectations.  A pleasant, well-maintained loop of sites, many with electricity and some with water (although the spigots, on some sites, were bizarrely distant from the normal location near the electrical box, requiring long hoses).  Set in the area below the dam for Lake Shel-oole, with access to the lake from the campground loop.  The lake was low during our stay, so not clear what activities might be available when the water is higher.  Well patrolled, with a bathhouse in the center of the loop, old-school but serviceable, containing flush toilets and hot showers. Relatively far from any highways and train tracks, so (for this part of the world, and unlike many commercial campgrounds) was very  quiet.

    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.

    Lewis & Clark RV Park

    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.

    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!

    Lewis & Clark RV Park

    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.

    Lewis & Clark RV Park

    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.

    Lewis & Clark RV Park

    Good Overnighter

    No issues getting to this campground (CG)— it’s right off I-15, making access simple and straightforward. There’s plenty of RV parking at the office, and check-in was friendly, quick, and easy. We were escorted to pull-through site 31 with full hookups (FHUs). All sites in this CG are pull-throughs, arranged in a large outer and inner circle layout. Utilities are centrally located on the pad, making it easy to position them to suit your setup. Water pressure was strong— we used a pressure reducer. The picnic table and yard are on the driver’s side, but it works well in this setup. We had solid connectivity: 4 bars on both T-Mobile and Verizon. The CG’s 5G Guest Wi-Fi was surprisingly good, delivering 124 Mbps download and 10.2 Mbps upload. Our T-Mobile home internet hit 28 Mbps download. The CG also sells propane and has a clean, well-maintained laundry facility. Overall, this spot was good for an overnight stay before heading into Canada.

    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.
