Lake Sheloole Campground

City campground. A little worn, but everything seemed to work, it's convenient to I15 & Hwy2, is quiet, has easy RV access for all sizes (some large pull through), and felt very secure (sheriff deputy drove through once). There is electric at each site, shared water spigots randomly placed, showers that looked safe enough, and a dump site. At $25 it's a little steep considering everything but power is free for passers through.

There have got to be 30 rv spots here and in the begining of July I only ever had maybe 4 other sites occupied each night. One night I was the only RV here.

While there isn't water at each site, this park has other perks:

On T-mobil I had 4/5 bars and 50/60 mbps down and 15 up. That's awesome.

On ATT I had 12 down and 5 up. That's also very workable.

Aside from it being so quiet here, it was also clean.

Finally, Shelby is a great little town if you need to get things done. They a library which made it easy to print out work, a post office that was empty so easy to mail/ship things, and then essential stuff for RVing (groceries/ auto parts stores/ hardware stores)

We are waiting for our tests results. Decided to check out this site and give a review.
Cute, good conditions, some pull through sites mixed with back in sites.
Beside towns baseball field with wee playground.
Water and electrical at each site. Dump station with water at entrance.
This place deserved a great rating in quiet area of town. We would of stayed here

The temps in northern Montana were almost 100 so I checked out this campsite for its electric hookups so I could run my AC. Most campgrounds in the area were full because of the Fourth of July weekend, however this one is almost empty. There are several pull-through sites, the rest back-in. The sites are relatively level, I moved my RV several times until I could get it level. There are no full hook ups, only electric, plus picnic table and grill at each campsite. There are several water spigots located throughout the campground to refill RV freshwater tanks, plus a dump and rinse station, and one restroom with flush toilets, sinks and showers with hot water, five dumpsters, two located at the entrance, one located in the campground, and two others located at the baseball fields. The sites are well spaced but no privacy.

Sheldon‘s baseball fields are located at one end of the campground area and the other end has a short trail up an earthen dam to Lake Shel-Oole where you can fish. There’s a lot of Richardson’s Ground squirrels running around the campsite and their holes pepper the ground. Also, quite a few birds. Other than that there’s not much to do.

The campground is a little rundown, holes dug to repair water spigots and not filled in, rutted campsite parking areas, no latches on bathroom stalls, tattered US, Canada and Montana flags flying. With last year‘s pandemic and the economic downturn it’s understandable.

A perfect spot to hang our hats. First site we tried had a non-operational power pole, so test yours before settling in. Sprinklers come on which make for great lawns, but be aware to not keep your stuff in those areas. We especially loved our short hike up to the dam for sunset. Surprisingly we were the only folks up there. It was a real treat. We spotted two bucks, one was about the biggest we’d ever seen.

My Husband & I left Glacier National park and heading to East. It was late and we couldn’t find out affordable decent Motel. We decided to stay this campsite. The park was clean, spacious and quiet. We had a good night sleep and good shower!

Large campground with electric only at sites. Some sites had water spigots nearby. Some, but not all had picnic tables, but all had charcoal or wood grills. No fire pits. The sites were gravel with grass and some trees between neighboring sites. When we arrived there was one other camper, but a few others arrived later in the day. It was very quiet. There is a dump station which we did use. All in all a good place for us to stop and rest on our way to Glacer.

Campendium comes thru again. Easy access off I15 and close to Hwy 2. Sites have plenty of room between them and almost all can handle big rigs. Most back in sites are level. The pull thrus look like they would need some leveling to work. Our site had 30 amp and 20 amp service. Water spigots are scattered around the campground. Quiet with only 6 other campers in the CG. Men’s bathroom is old but it was clean and the shower was hot with good pressure. Nice touch is the sprinkler system. The grass is green and lush. Would definitely stay here again when passing through.
ATT was just 3 bars but very fast.

We stayed here 5 August 2021
Sites were well spaced and most had power also there was a old but clean bathroom with two showers in men’s and women’s. There was a dump station at the park also a couple places to get water. Most of the sites were back in but there were quite a few parallel with the road. It was north of Highway two about a half a mile. There was an old but well-maintained laundry about a quarter of a mile between town and the park. There are several ball fields at the front of the park. It is surrounded by rolling Hills.

After being spoiled with $0 to stay in Zurich, it was a bit grating to pay $25 to car camp in Shelby, but all was forgiven because this campground offered clean hot showers. There is also a little hike to see the dam above. The grounds were not crowded on 8/18. It’s about 90 miles to Glacier and close to 2.
If you have dogs, I suggest you NOT use the middle left spots as there is a residence with small dogs and chickens on the other side of the trees, which resulted in some yapping from the four legged crew on both sides.
