Sloway Campground (MT)

Loved my time at Sloway. The prospects of rain scared people off, so I pretty much had the place to myself. Campsites are large and fairly private, access to water and clean toilets is good, and the new-this-year campground host, David, seems to be keeping the place spruced up.

We camp at Sloway a couple times a year. If you can put up with the train, which is loud but nostalgic, it’s pretty nice. The traffic noise from I-90 can get a little loud at times too. It isn’t a perfectly peaceful location, but being by the river and the amenities makes it a regular go-to for us.

Nice clean campground. A little noisy with the train but that is the only negative.

Well kept campground. Hosts were super nice. Offered free firewood. We did not find the train noise that distracting.

We camp here every year — twice this past summer. People like camping spots for various reasons. My ‘plusses’ for Sloway are:
- campsites are nicely separated from each other
- bathrooms are clean (thanks to Don and Yvonne, camp hosts, who are now moving on to a different location after 6-7 years at Sloway)
- there is available wood for fires
- access to the Clark Fork River
- good picnic tables
- access to St. Regis or Superior if you need more ice, food, or have a hankering for a huckleberry milkshake
- cell service if needed why camping
- not overly crowded during the week days
- play area with volleyball and horseshoes
The ‘minuses’ are:
- noise from the interstate; I-90 can be noisy with trucks at all hours
- the train; tracks are just across the river so the train is close; the necessity for conductors to blast their horn at crossings results in startling loud wake-ups in the dark of night (oddly, I personally do not mind the old timey feeling compared to the highway noise)
-often full on summer weekends

The campground and its vicinity to the river were great The train however makes it a “not again” destination. Heavy sleepers would be ok. I didn’t hear the trains but everyone else did.

Great place to stay!

Campground was very clean, everything was as described, and we would stay there again. We picked the campground as the staging point for our ride on the Hiawatha Trail.

Campground is beautiful. Trains going by 5 to 6 times a night with very loud whistles blowing a mile before the crossing and after! Very annoying. Access to river is very steep and never saw the camp host.

campground was very clean and vault toilets were extremely clean. Camp host's were very efficient. Road noise is only drawback.

Hardworking, helpful, and friendly hosts. Beautiful, clean, and safe park.
