Greek Creek Campground

Greek Creek Campground, near Gallatin Gateway, Montana, is a solid choice for those looking to enjoy the great outdoors while being close to the action. This campground is split by Highway 191, which means you’ll have easy access to the Gallatin River for fishing and rafting, but be prepared for some road noise.

The sites are spacious and come with picnic tables and fire rings, perfect for evening gatherings. Visitors have noted the clean vault toilets and the availability of drinking water, making it a comfortable spot for a camping trip. As one camper mentioned, “The campground is nicely wooded with Fir, Spruce, and Cottonwood trees,” providing some shade and a pleasant atmosphere.

If you’re up for adventure, there are plenty of hiking trails nearby, including the Lava Lake Trailhead, which offers a moderately challenging hike to an alpine lake. Plus, you’re just a short drive from Bozeman and Big Sky Resort, where you can find additional outdoor activities like fishing, rafting, and horseback riding.

While some campers have pointed out the noise from the highway, many appreciate the convenience and the beautiful surroundings. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, Greek Creek Campground offers a mix of relaxation and adventure right at your fingertips.

Loud & Wild

This place is LOUD! But that's to be expected for being right off the highway. The river drowned most of the noise out at night. Clean vault toilets. Nice flat parking. Woke up to a HUGE juvenile bull moose walking through our site.

Good place to park a camper.

If you like to hang out at your camp site, this is NOT the place for you.

We were here 3 nights as a base camp for Yellowstone.  Yes, it is 60 miles away, but the closest we could get since I waited until 6 months before the trip to reserve(lesson learned!!).  

Two deal killers for us from ever staying here again is, first, as mentioned, the road noise.  We were in a site that was on the back side of the campground, and the road noise was still horrible, even with the trees and bushes between us.  And second, the mosquitoes!  We spent about 15 minutes around our camp fire before we were forced inside.  Not even the smoke from our fire was keeping them away.  We did cross the highway to go check out the river and even along the river the mosquitoes were pretty bad.

The sites are split on each side of the highway, there is spigots for water, but none at the sites, also there is no hookups or even a dump station at the campground.  The sites were large enough for most campers, we fit our 174BH into our site and could have left our tow vehicle attached and not been in the road.  Sites have a burn pit and picnic table which was nice but we didn't get to use them.

Internet is non-existent.  We have Verizon and had to drive about 5 miles before we got signal.

Nice FS campground, but close to noisey Hwy 191

First, stars docked for road noise; the campground is split by Hwy 191.  Otherwise, well maintained clean basic campground with good tables, fire pits, drives and pads.  Vault toilets, well water spigots throughout, no electric.  Accommodates most rigs, probably best for small to medium trailers, RVS, and of course all tents. 

Great for traveling through or base-camping a couple days to recreate in Gallatin Canyon.  Recommend nearby Lava Lake Trailhead for a short but moderately challenging hike (elevation gain) to an alpine lake.  There are many trailheads in the area accessible by car.  Near Bozeman, and Big Sky Resort with multiple guiding services for fishing, rafting, horseback riding.  No real cell service.  Reservable through recreation.gov.

A nice wooded, but loud campground

Greek Creek Campground is a small 15 site campground in the Gallatin National Forest. The campground is located on both sides of U.S. Highway 191. The West portion of the campground has 6 sites and sits on the shore of the Gallatin River. The East portion has 9 sites. The campground is paved with gravel parking pads. Each side of the campground has ADA accessible vault toilets. Sites are$20 per night and all sites can be reserved so the chance of finding a spot available on the weekend will be difficult unless you have reserved a site. I was unable to find an available site and I arrived at the campground at 9am on a Friday morning. This is going to be a loud campground at nice with the busy U.S. Highway 191 running through the campground, so unless you are a sound sleeper you might just want to pass on this campground. All campsites are equipped with a picnic table and metal fire ring. Both sides have water and trash service, including recycling. The campground is nicely wooded with Fir, Spruce and Cottonwood trees. The Gallatin River is a popular Rafting and Kayaking location with numerous outfitters available, the river is also a popular fly fishing destination. If you enjoy hiking many trail heads are available in the area.

Convenient, but Noisy

Greek Creek is a fantastic place to camp if you want a convenient place between Bozeman and Big Sky. It was easy to find and right off the highway. However, that is also its biggest downfall. All of the campsites are very close to the highway and you can hear the vehicles driving by at all times of the day. The noise is the only reason I give it 3 stars.

Beautiful Yet Loud

The campground itself is nice with some beautiful trees and shading. We stayed on the side across from the river but were able to easily cross the highway to go over when we wanted. Biggest fault is the noise from the highway, particularly the semis driving by at night, which made it hard to sleep.

Great spot

Greek creek is a great spot if you looking for river activities! This campsite is split by the hwy so head towards the river side it boasts great fishing and boating access. If heading to the park it's only 40 mins away!

Perfect site for kayaking the Gallatin River!

Despite the lack of some amenities (e.g., no showers and no firewood for sale when we were there), we greatly enjoyed our stay at this National Forest campground located right on the Gallatin River. As kayakers, we were there to paddle the river so we couldn't have asked for a better location. We stayed in tent site #11, right on the river, which also served as our put-in for the class III-IV Greek Creek to Spanish Creek whitewater run. The campground is easy to find right on Hwy 191 but once off the road and down by the river, it has a more remote feel to it. Campsites are wooded and we saw bighorn sheep right along the road! Groceries are available about 5 miles away. Reservations for this campground can be made online at www.recreation.gov or by calling 1-877-444-6777.
