Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park

Camphosts we're super nice. They would bring camp wood to you. I'm glad we had electric because we had no shad except from our own camper. The camp sites were fairly level. The site has pay showers but you cannot adjust the water temperature. For me, the water was too hot to stand under. The dump station appears to be new. You can pull in from either direction allowing two people at one time. We were able to stream a movie with Verizon and a booster inside the van. We had 5 bars T-Mobile 5g at the top visitor center and occasionally at the camp. We mostly had slow at&t 4g roaming when not using the booster. If you're a bicyclist, they have some great tent spots. The facilities for bikers looks new. Picnic tables have vices that allow you to work on your bike. We didn't get reservations for the caverns but they looked interesting.

We camped at the Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park Campground in late June for two nights while visiting the caves. Our nightly rate reflects the Non-Resident Montana State Parks Pass discount. Our campsite was in Loop A site 14 with some shade trees. The campground has a dump station, potable water, trash receptacles and a modern bath house with warm showers. The cost to shower is 12 quarters for 6 minutes, there is a coin machine at the bath house. Each campsite has a fire ring and table with plenty of space between campsites. The campground is very clean and peaceful, there are hiking trails at the campground, and the caves are a short drive away. We had one-bar of Verizon service without a booster. Overall we had a great time at this campground and would certainly return again.

I based my selection of this campground based on mobile phone access reflected in the Campendium app which indicates 3 bars for Verizon and 2 bars for ATT we have both carriers and we had 0 zero signal for either carrier. We had to abandon our attempted stay since I had to work the next day.
Very disappointed that the information on the app was not reliable.
Happy Camping Y’all

This is a really clean, nice CG with lots of space between sites. It’s not a far detour off I-90 and worth it. About half the sites have power 50 amp. It was maybe 1/3rd full and half of those were an airstream group. No cell at CG but limited at visitors center. We took Paradise cave tour as it was the only one operating. I think the Classic may have shown you more of the cave , but it was still worth it. Saw some elk across the river. Tours ran every hour on the half hour.
Water, dump and restrooms closed for season.

No check in, site was identified in the confirmation email received after the reservation was made.
Site E1, electric (50A) only. There is a potable water fill station and dump station if needed.
Gravel roads, gravel pad, 60 foot back in site, aligned nicely with circle drive.
Large site overall, grass between sites, plenty of space between sites, fire ring and picnic table.
Site E1 was about 2 inches to level left/right, but significant drop of the nose to level front/back.
Minimum reception on Verizon or AT&T, no OTA TV and of course no wi-fi.
Very nice campground, playground, tent sites, cabins. Pay showers are available, didn’t use, not sure when they were last cleaned.
Lewis & Clark Caverns tour (additional from campground fees) is the main attraction. The “Classic” tour was outstanding. Great information about the discovery and subsequent development of the Caverns and how they became Montana’s first state park. It was cool to be in the caverns with the bats flying around. Hiking trails also available.
Overall, a very nice over night or short stay location. If you need food or fuel, the best fuel prices are in Three Forks, MT, about 15 miles from the Caverns. They also have a grocery store and an outstanding place to eat, the Iron Horse Café and Pie Shop.

Spacious campground with cave, hiking, and play ground. We had electric site and did the cave tour. Was pretty warm until sun went down, then was very nice. Jefferson river across the road and hiking trails around the park. We enjoyed this campground.

The cave is up the hill and they have a spot to drop trailers at the entrance if you aren’t staying. Pretty warm longish uphill hike to the cave from the top of ridge center.
