About Sloway Campground (Mt)
Nestled alongside the scenic Clark Fork River in Montana's Lolo National Forest, Sloway Campground offers a convenient basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts traveling along I-90. This riverside retreat features 27 thoughtfully designed sites, including 12 spacious pull-through spots perfect for RVs of all sizes. Each site comes equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, inviting you to gather around crackling campfires under towering pine canopies. Beyond the basics, Sloway surprises visitors with recreational amenities including a volleyball net and horseshoe pits for friendly competition, while a primitive boat launch provides direct access to the Clark Fork River's gentle waters. The campground maintains vault toilets and provides potable water throughout the grounds. While the proximity to I-90 ensures easy access, campers should note that the sounds of passing trains and highway traffic create a constant backdrop to the natural setting.
Sloway Campground offers several camping options, including tent camping, RV camping, and a designated equestrian site.

ElevationPositioned in the gentle valley bottom of western Montana, Sloway Campground offers easy, level camping without the challenges of high-altitude sites. This valley floor location provides comfortable conditions for all ages and camping experience levels.
Natural Features and ScenerySloway Campground embraces visitors with a cathedral of towering pine trees that filter dappled sunlight throughout the day and whisper in the mountain breezes. The Clark Fork River flows lazily past the campground's edge, its waters reflecting the surrounding forest and offering peaceful spots for contemplation or casual fishing. The level, valley-bottom terrain makes navigation easy for everyone, from families with young children to those with mobility concerns. While the natural beauty is undeniable, the campground's location near major transportation corridors means the wilderness soundtrack includes the rhythmic rumble of freight trains and the steady hum of interstate traffic—a reminder that adventure here comes with modern convenience.
Geological RegionSet within the broad valley floor of western Montana's mountainous terrain, Sloway Campground occupies a naturally flat expanse carved by the Clark Fork River over millennia. This accessible valley bottom location, embraced by pine-covered slopes, offers campers the beauty of Montana's rugged landscape without the challenges of steep terrain. The surrounding Lolo National Forest showcases the region's characteristic mix of river valleys and forested mountains, creating a diverse ecosystem where the convenience of level camping meets the grandeur of the Northern Rockies.
