"In summer you can drive a Jeep right up to the tower so it’s like a backcountry experience without all the work and with some creature comforts. Cozy wood fireplace and bunk beds."
"Love this forest service cabin, one of my very favorites. Fun to Mountain bike there if you pack light. The ride up to the cabin is a decent climb up double track."
$55 / night
"The cabin is so cute, tucked away in a forest. It's pretty magically. The best part about this cabin is you can't reach it by car. You can take a 4 wheeler, ATV or you can hike 8 miles."
$50 - $169 / night
"They have several cabins that are on the Gallatin River, so serene and peaceful... They offer a zipline for the kids and often have "wildlife" on the premises (goats, horses, musicians)."

"This is a great spot located right below the ride in a little valley. The hike to get there isn’t to bad but the drive to the trail head can be a bit of a challenge."
$45 - $100 / night
"Nice dog park across the street, sites are a little tight but its perfect for a couple night stay. Awesome that its only 35 miles to Big Sky and its a gorgeous drive."
"Not much road noise at all, well kept grassy areas for tents, fire pits and picnic tables. The showers and bathrooms are generally well kept. Wish the WiFi worked better, but it’s camping."

"Several years (10) ago I booked this KOA to travel with friends and visit Yellowstone. They all backed out, and it ended up being an incredible trip with my Mom. "
"Our fire ring was right next to our neighbors sewage drain, and the way our site slopped we couldn’t put chairs around it.
Almost all of the sites have shade."

"Amazing views and hiking outside your door."
RangerSeveral years (10) ago I booked this KOA to travel with friends and visit Yellowstone. They all backed out, and it ended up being an incredible trip with my Mom. So much so that we are having our 11th trip this year. I am also bringing my husband separately for his first time.
This KOA is well kept, clean, spacious, plenty of fun things to do, the staff is courteous. And I love the different options that you have for staying there. Tents, RV's, and Cabins. The general store is great if you forget anything. And the BBQ is wonderful for breakfast or dinner!
The accommodations are perfect. We have stayed in tents and cabins. I love that each site has a picnic table, and fire pit. If you choose a cabin, it consists of beds, a porch swing, and a space heater. Unless you choose to upgrade (which we have done in the past as well). Then you have a kitchenette and bathroom/shower.
ScoutThe Maxey Cabin, although sparse in its' appointments, is a magical destination that is accesible year round. With two sleeping cabins, a large sun deck, fire pit and outdoor swing, this forest service cabin offers the active ncabin camper a gateway to the many recreation opportunities available in the world famous Hyalite Canyon recreation area- Bozeman's backyard.
The main cabin offers a table and chairs, two double bunk beds, wood stove for heat and a small counter area for preparing your meals. Guests need to bring their own water supply and all cooking supplies including stove, pots and pans and utensils. The second cabin has two single bunk beds and a table.
Invite your friends because they will want to share in the quiet solitude of Maxey cabin and there is plenty of room. At approximately a 35 minute drive from Bozeman, the convenience of this retreat is unmatched.
Excellently maintained and kept clean throughout, visitors to Maxey cabin can survey the surrounding mountains from the large front deck. Once you've been, you'll wonder why you haven't been before and not want to tell your friends.
If you are planning a weekend excursion, be prepared to reserve your spot 6 months in advance as reservations typically are in high demand.
LegendNothing wrong with this stay, although I wouldn’t call this a “campground.” It’s a small and tight rental cabin property that has a few slots for RV hook up.
It’s tight but as long as your just looking for a place to drop or unhitch this one is fine.
There is some shade with trees and each spot has a picnic table. It’s basic but it will do!
They are definitely more focused on the cabin rentals here. They looked really nice too, newly built and rustic.
ScoutReserved a cabin at KOA in West Yellowstone; it had been raining, the area in front of our cabin was a lake!! Our fire pit and picnic table were completely underwater. We went to office & they assured us they would send someone over to take a look. They threw down some boards to walk on, but fire pit was still underwater & we would have to navigate those boards to go to the restroom in the middle of the night!
We went to the office again & asked if there was another cabin for us to move to; the manager said there was but it would be $100 upgrade!! We asked if he would be negotiable as our cabin wasn't safe. The manager kicked our family of 5 out, with the words.....good luck finding another place to stay in West Yellowstone this time of year!! Luckily, we found, Hibernation Station in town - lovely place, fully furnished cabins with bathrooms. Why anyone would stay at the crappy KOA cabins 7 miles out of town when you can stay at nicely furnish Hibernation Station cabins with bedding, private bathroom, fully equiped ktichen, walking distance to restaurants & wonderful management. Shame on KOA for not ensuring better management.
GuideWe had a pull thru site with patio. Our fire ring was right next to our neighbors sewage drain, and the way our site slopped we couldn’t put chairs around it.
Almost all of the sites have shade. The laundry facility was clean and the Yellowstone Park entrance is nearby.
They do not enforce the quiet hours, our neighbors were playing loud music and slamming doors until 11:30pm.
GuideNice dog park across the street, sites are a little tight but its perfect for a couple night stay. Awesome that its only 35 miles to Big Sky and its a gorgeous drive. Our sire only had electric/water but i know there are some with full hookups. Picnic tables and fire rings and sites are gravel.
LegendWest Yellowstone Grizzly campground is located close to the West Yellowstone entrance. It is an Rv Park, lodging, and cabins. It is also in the town of West Yellowstone which is a darling little town with so much to do. The Rv sites are full hook ups and they have picnic benches on a leveled gravel site. There are no fires allowed here and it is pet friendly. . They have WiFi and cable. The sites are pretty close together, which I did not like. There is a grass area on each site which is wonderful for dogs. There are 4 laundry rooms and clean bathrooms and showers. We stayed for 2 days and would stay again.
RangerI come to this campground every single year and have for the past 9 years in a row (14 trips total). This campground has all the amenities you may need or want! Tent camping, cabin, RV, etc. And I have done them all there. There is a laundry room, showers, outdoor activities like biking, ice cream, mini-golf, playground, etc. I typically rent a cabin nowadays. I have stayed in the one-bedroom, and the two-bedroom deluxe with kitchen and bathroom/shower. Both are great! I highly recommend coming to this campground and cannot wait until I am there again this year!
This campground is only 6 miles from the West Entrance.
GuideLOVED this cabin. It was very accessible, with an easy road. You can drive right up to the cabin. There are two wood stoves, one in the sleeping area with two bunks. It got VERY toasty in there with the fire going (but with two adults and two large dogs shoved all on one bed together, what can you expect?) there was plenty of wood, the fire pit was perfect, and the area beautiful. 10/10
