    Billings KOA Holiday

    All around great experience

    Friendly staff, clean, well maintained grounds, quiet and charming. This place had everything we needed for a few nights of work, rest and play. And to top it off the internet worked great. They have a pool, mini golf, kids play grounds, and an enclosed dog park. The laundry and bathrooms were exceptionally clean and updated. We splurged a little got the deluxe pull through with the swing, patio and fire pit, and saved a little with our AAA membership. And, after having gone through death valley and the High Sierra Valley having the lovely tree coverage was awesome. This camp ground is tucked into a residential area, and far enough off the interstate to not hear the noise, but close enough to town and all the other amenities to make it very convenient. It’s also on the river, but we didn’t have a chance to take advantage of that on this trip. I only gave four stars because we were positioned right behind the maintenance residence and there was a lot of noisy activity coming and going at all hours. I’m not complaining, they did an excellent job of maintaining and I’m sure if we were in any other location on site we’d not been bothered by this at all. We’d definitely stay here again.

    Billings KOA Holiday

    Not our typical campground but 5 stars nonetheless!

    General: Upon arriving at this campground (the FIRST Holiday KOA), I felt like we were in Disneyland! Everything was spotlessly clean, the staff was exceptionally friendly and even though there were rain clouds in the sky, it felt sunny! 

    Site Quality/Facilities: There are a variety of sites ranging from tent to full hookup with concrete patio, swing, and upgraded picnic table with umbrella. We had reserved a water/electric site. The first site assigned to us had a huge puddle from the recent rain so I went back to the office and asked if we could switch to the one next to it and it was no problem to do so. Sites that back up to the river are, in my opinion, the nicest but they don’t have full hookups if that is what you need. Some of the tent sites will hear road noise. There is a restaurant on-site (Pistol Pete’s) that was not open when we were there (due to Covid) but there was a food truck where you could order breakfast sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, etc. We did not try this so cannot comment on the quality. Coin-operated laundry. 

    Bathhouse: As nice as, if not nicer than, our bathroom at home! The tiled showers were very clean (it helped that I snagged one just after it was cleaned) and had a bench, plenty of hooks, a sink, and a toilet in an all-in-one. The water pressure was a little meek but hot. Husband had a shower in the alternative trailer– nice and clean but not as fancy. 

    Activities: Pool, hot tub, nice playground, mini golf all on-site. Campground backs up to the Yellowstone River with direct access, although the river was very low when we were there. 

    This very family-friendly campground is not our typical place to camp but after a week without, we needed showers and electricity and it was a Friday night in August, so we are glad we made the reservation to stay here!

    Billings KOA Holiday

    This is not camping. This is an anthill.

    We stopped here for a night en route to another location. As soon as we pulled in I wanted to leave. I have never seen so many people in one campground before! It looked like a state fairground!

    The sites were mere feet apart - no privacy and hardly any room to set up so much as a lawn chair. If there were half the amount of people, it would have been lovely. The plot of land is pretty and runs right alongside the Yellowstone River - the only spot we found any respite. There was mini-golf, a pool, hot tub, a laughably small fenced in dog “run”, a neat looking themed playground, a restaurant, ice cream social, and store. Also on site were bathroom and shower facilities and laundry, though we did not use those, so I can’t speak to its cleanliness, etc.

    My young boys thought it was pretty awesome, and I agree - it could have been if there were half the people.

    If you do choose to stay, be sure to grab a burger or breakfast sandwich at Whole Hog. The owner has a trailer on site that he turned into a food truck and makes a damn good burger. He was such a nice, personable guy and probably the best part of our stay.

    Yellowstone River RV Park & Campground

    Clean and Quiet

    Definitely caters more towards glamping or RV life if that's your thing. The campground was gorgeous and staff was incredibly friendly. The only reason I'm rating 4 stars is because it's a long trek to the river. I assumed from the name we'd be close enough to it to see water or hear it from our campground. The closest "river" is a completely dry bed which is probably an over flow channel and then it's another long trail through field and bramble to get to the actual river. Aside from that. Their are fire rings/grills at the camping sites w electric as well as access to amazing private bathrooms with insanely awesome water pressure and very clean surroundings

    There are dry docking camp sites stuffed in the back of the Campground as well. We didn't get a chance to use the pool/spa but they looked really nice!

    Billings KOA Holiday

    First ever KOA with very nice amenities

    Wow. The mini golf, pool, park, grounds, bathhouse, on-site restaurant and food options are 5 star. The location is a little off the beaten path but it’s so nice and secluded. The price is incredible compared to other KOA’s too. This is the nicest one we’ve ever seen and we’ve stayed at over a dozen (many that have been award winning). The staff are super friendly, the bathrooms and showers very clean and private, the amenities are so cool - the mini golf is Disney quality and the playground is awesome. The options - options of food onsite is so nice!

    Billings KOA Holiday

    The Original KOA . . .

    Quite possibly our favorite campsite so far on our trip to Yellowstone. This is the original KOA established in 1962, and believe me they have it down to an art AND a science. The place is incredibly organized, the staff is amazing. They have all the amenities that will make your stay truly memorable for you and your family. They have a large swimming pool, and a hot tub, and a great little putt putt golf course. The tent sites were very comfortable, they are on grass, with grated fire pits.

    I’ve never been to a place that had so many bathrooms, and showers. There was never a line at any time. The laundry facilities were immaculate, and always available.

    This KOA truly sets the bar for a safe environment for you and your family. The only challenge that I had was trying to get my daughter to leave. She was happy staying there versus going to see Yellowstone park!

    Yellowstone River RV Park & Campground

    Easy access of of the interstate

    This park has very nice full hookups sites with trees and lawns, some tent only sites at the rear of the park, and several water & electric only sites that are very close together.

    The park is in a quiet area with easy access on and off the interstate Highway in southeast Billings. The exit is he same one that leads to the road to downtown, the ball park, and the airport.

    The property has a small, nice pool, a playground, a general store, laundry, dump station, and access to the Yellowstone River via a walking path.

    Billings KOA Holiday

    Nice place for families

    This is your typical KOA Holiday which is their way of branding a location as one to stay and have fun. They have a pool, hot tub, nice miniature golf course and access to the Yellowstone River. Sites are typical, full hookups with different grades of amenities and prices to go with them. We did not use the bathrooms but they looked nice. Nicely stocked store, friendly staff. Surprisingly our pull through was out of level side to side by three inches. Shouldn’t have to get our boosters out in such a place and for the price. Dinged them a star for that. Sites are tight at pull through a, do not expect privacy. But this is a nice place to hang out and relax, and if you have kids they can have some fun. Laundry room was nice and clean but half of the dryers were out of service.


Guide to Acton

Riverside camping options in the Acton, Montana area offer access to the Yellowstone River with varying levels of amenities. The town sits in south-central Montana between Billings and Columbus, where cottonwood-lined riverbanks create natural shade and wildlife habitat. Temperatures range from summer highs in the 80s to winter lows well below freezing, with most tent camping facilities operating seasonally from May through September.

What to do

Riverside hiking trails: Access the Yellowstone River via walking paths at Yellowstone River RV Park & Campground, where campers can enjoy scenic wildlife viewing. "Pretty nature walk down to the river. We are newbies to RV life but overall we had no complaints," notes one visitor who stayed for three nights.

Fishing access: The Yellowstone River offers excellent trout fishing opportunities throughout the summer months. "Great little fishing access but there is no overnight camping allowed," reports a visitor about Firemans Point FAS, making it a good day-use option but requiring campers to return to established campgrounds in the evening.

Mini-golf and family activities: Billings KOA Holiday offers recreational options beyond yurt camping. "The pull through site we had included a patio with swing and picnic table... the campground had plenty of activities and amenities, including mini golf, pool, lodge, dog park, playground, ice cream stand and a BBQ joint," describes a camper who appreciated the resort-style offerings.

What campers like

Affordability options: Unlike premium accommodations, simpler campgrounds provide budget-friendly alternatives. "Cheap to rent a spot," notes a visitor about Riverside City Park, offering a more economical option for campers seeking basic amenities near Acton.

Wildlife viewing: The riverfront location attracts local wildlife visible from camps. "Had two bucks stroll within 30 yards of the tent area," reports a camper at Yellowstone River RV Park & Campground, highlighting unexpected nature encounters even at developed campgrounds.

Scenic surroundings: The Yellowstone River corridor provides natural beauty at sunset. "Nice scenery, especially at sunset. Full hook up year round, lots of full timers makes it a nice and quiet stay," shares a reviewer who found the experience worth the cost despite noting it was "a bit on the pricey side at $65 a night."

What you should know

Seasonal availability: While some facilities operate year-round, others close seasonally. One visitor reported, "Called city of Laurel and they confirmed campground is closed," about Riverside City Park, although more recent reviews indicate it has reopened with "several very long pull throughs. Park is nice and green at this time of year."

Limited tent camping privacy: Tent sites often lack separation from RV areas. "Tent camping here is not very private. You basically pitch a tent in the middle of a bunch of RVs with very little tree cover," warns a camper at Riverside City Park, adding that people would cut through their site to reach the bathrooms.

Site marker confusion: Some campgrounds use unconventional site markings. "Only issue with this campground is how they have sites marked. Took a little bit to figure out the site markers for tent camping. They have little concrete circles on the ground with numbers," explains a visitor who otherwise enjoyed their stay.
