The original KOA, established in Billings in 1962, carries that founding-location status visibly: the check-in building notes it prominently, and the grounds reflect decades of refinement. The campground sits close to I-90, which means truck engine braking carries into the sites, particularly those near the road. Reviewers consistently note that this is not a place to seek seclusion. It runs busy, especially on summer weekends when locals use it as a short getaway, and sites, particularly the pull-throughs, are tight enough that neighbors are always close.
What draws campers back is the combination of full infrastructure and direct Yellowstone River access along the rear of the property. Sites backing up to the river are among the most requested, though they typically lack full hookups. Tent campers looking for a bit of distance from the main RV loops tend to favor sites 58 and 82, tucked toward the far corners of the property. The bathhouses draw consistent praise across reviews, described as well-maintained and reliably clean. WiFi is strong enough that remote workers have used it for video streaming and business tasks simultaneously.
Activities on-site include a pool, hot tub, mini golf, a dog park, a playground, an arcade, and bike rentals. Hailey L. notes that "peacocks roam the grounds," a detail that surprises first-time visitors. Laundry facilities are on-site, and a general store keeps basic supplies available. Lee D. observed that river-facing sites are "the nicest but they don't have full hookups," a useful tradeoff to weigh when booking.
A few practical notes: one reviewer reported a three-inch side-to-side leveling issue on a pull-through site, so RV campers should have leveling equipment on hand. The access road has been flagged as rough by multiple reviewers, so tow vehicles should approach with care. The campground is open year-round, accepts reservations, and allows pets. Billings itself provides easy access to vehicle services, grocery stores, and resupply, and campers using it as a staging point can find places to camp near Billings if this location is full. Nearby options include Yellowstone River RV Park & Campground just to the north.
This campground works best for families, RV travelers, and anyone who values amenities and river access over quiet or privacy.
