“Go into a mine & get 'cured'!!”
A tunnel into the mountain. The temperature in the mine remains around 60 degrees winter and summer so it is advisable to bring some warm clothing. Located near Basin, Montana, the Merry Widow Health Mine has been helping people get relief from such diverse ailments as arthritis, sinusitis, migraine, eczema, asthma, hay fever, psoriasis, allergies, diabetes, and other health problems. The list is growing constantly as mine visitors tell us of other ailments for which they have experienced relief. The visitors drink the mine water which they claim is very productive to good health and well-being. The radon mines of Bockstein/Badgastein,Austria, have been studied for over 30 years by the Gastein Research Institute, the Physiological Institute of the University of Innsbruck, and the Medical Clinic of the University of Innsbruck. The Soviet Union has over 60 years of documented experiences in radon treatment and over 30 years of conferences on radon therapy. Many books and research papers on Radon Therapy and Radiation Hormesis are available. Check out the Radiation, Science and Health web site for more information. First time visitors should try to commit to 32 one hour visits spread over 10 to 11 days. There is also a campsite at the location..

The aptly-named Merry Widow Health Mine claims the Soviet Union has over 60 years of documentation that support the effectiveness of radon treatment, and the Merry Widow itself has been “helping people with pain” for over 50 years.
awesome place!
A Passport America campground, so rate paid is half the normal rate for electric only. FHU was $32.
Great place to stop for an overnight. Friendly staff.

Sites level gravel and FHU have cement patios. Lots of room to maneuver big rigs. No landscaping to speak of but you have the natural beauty of the mountains. Small laundry worked well. Halfway between Butte and Helena. Grocery 6 miles away in Boulder. Able to stream with the WiFi.

Great little campground, but site A is definitely the best spot! Right on the river, very private, shady and spacious. Showers take quarters but were clean. Good cell signal with Verizon. Camp host welcomed us as we arrived and was very friendly and helpful.

Working remotely, we needed a place to stop for one night with good ATT signal. This was a great choice. We got spot 22 near the river. We had to back in between several large trees. The site was shady and beautiful. Water/sewer hookups were on the wrong side. Our sewer hose wasn’t long enough, so we used the dump station on our way out. We needed to stay for few hours past check out to finish up my work day. New people were coming in, so the staff told us we could stay in their parking lot for a few hours. It worked out perfectly. We asked if that’d be any trouble for them. Their response: “When you’re here, you’re family.”
