We stayed here mid May and there were only a few other campers. The bathhouse was very clean and updated, the shower stalls were large and had plenty of hot water and water pressure. They did give us a military discount as well. Its conveniently off the highway which of course means some noise from it but it was not that bad. We saw deer, rabbits, birds and pelicans.

This is a place you stay out of necessity not because of what it has to offer. It is located next to I-90 which is loud no matter what lot you have.

I would not have paid this if we would have known ahead of time that this is basically a parking lot with electric/water hookups, no sewer. I'm so tired of campgrounds taking advantage of RV'ers.

I would not have paid this if we would have known ahead of time that this is basically a parking lot with electric/water hookups, no sewer. I'm so tired of campgrounds taking advantage of RV'ers. This is not a resort. This is not a hotel. There are NO amenities. This place was nearly empty. They charge for extra vehicles. $52/night for this parking lot full of mosquitos? They even have it in their paperwork... no refunds due to mosquitos!
I do NOT recommend this place. It's a joke. I've stayed at way nicer places in popular areas for MUCH less. Rip off.
If they lower their prices to a reasonable point, I'd say it's just fine if it was $20-$25/night

We stopped here as we needed laundry services and the park didn’t have any. Spots were nice and level. Laundry was adequate. WiFi was great. Definitely not crowded and we did have some shade trees.

Office staff was nice and we told them the price was a bit higher than we expected.

This is about all there is to Cardwell, MT, but it's a cute park with fine amenities. As then name implies, there is a store, candy & ice cream shop, and gas station on site. The campground offers all pull-thrus in a well-kept ring on the outside of a pretty green lawn. Some sites have shady trees. The staff is quite young but very friendly and helpful. The store appeared to have a nice selection of goods, and the candy/ice cream shop is adorable with lots of souvenirs and old-fashioned candies by the pound. We sampled the hand-dipped ice cream, and it was very good. While there was plenty of hot water in the shower, there are no hooks or benches in sight, and the spray head in the larger of the two stalls was wonky. There was a laundry room, but we didn't use it. There is free wifi that worked really well.
There isn't much room in the campground to walk, but the nice young lady working the register said it was fine to walk on the neighboring property that had a (mostly) gravel path around two small lakes on one side and the Boulder River on the other. It appeared to be some sort of old RV park/soccer field/community hall, but was deserted when we were there. It made for a nice evening or morning stroll. This park is right on the highway, and traffic noise is heavy. Our price of $34 reflects a veteran discount.
This was just an overnight for us, but some folks use it as a jumping off point for Yellowstone and other area attractions.

While this isn’t much of a destination, it is reasonably quiet, close to the freeway and to Lewis & Clark Caverns. We were looking for a convenient stop when our reservations at Glacier NP were cancelled due to wildfires. These guys had space available and were well located along our route home.
The site was small but level. We had water and 50amp electric. The park wasn’t busy so we asked to switch spots from the site they had assigned to a site with a little shade and grass.
The showers were dated but clean. There were no hooks for towels or clothes.
The dump station is located at “campsite 0”. The WiFi connection was decent.
The service station was staffed with high schoolers (I think). They were friendly and helpful but not very knowledgeable.

We stopped for 1 night on our way to Yellowstone. We usualy stay in parks but needed electric for AC. Nice location and some trees for shade. Also a store right at CG. Free WiFi that worked.

We stayed overnight on our way to northern Montana. We had stopped at the Lewis and Clark Caverns first but all their electrical spots were taken so they directed us here. (It was too hot for us to not have AC, which is why we didn’t take a dry camping spot).
All the spaces were pull through and we had both electric and water. They had showers onsite as well as laundry facilities and we used both. Trees made for shady spots, which was nice. It was quiet and the staff at the store were friendly and helpful.
Our only complaint was that there were a bunch of mosquitoes that night and into the morning and I got eaten alive.
