    Overview

    The Todd Family began building Deer Creek Cabin in 1953 and finished it in 1960. They used it as a retreat while they grazed cattle on federal lands in the summer and hunted in the fall. The cabin has survived two forest fires. Gallatin National Forest assumed ownership of the cabin in 1993.The cabin is open year-round, but access is challenging. There are three routes to the cabin that can be used by equestrians, hikers and ATVs in the summer. During the winter, by snowshoes, skis and snowmobiles. Snowmobilers will need to park their trailers down low on the Iron Mountain Road, keeping the road passable for others. These trails will be marked as to uses. These 4- to 5-mile routes may ford creeks, with creek depths varying from 6 inches to several feet, in the spring.Some basic conveniences are provided, but guests will need to bring most of their own amenities to ensure a comfortable stay.

    Recreation

    There are numerous trails around the cabin that provide opportunities for exploration. Experienced cross-country skiers and snowshoers will find a challenging winter landscape. Anglers can fish for trout in the nearby creek. The area offers good big game and bird hunting opportunities in the fall.

In the winter, the cabin is only accessible by a 5.5-mile ski, snowshoe or snowmobile trip. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety.

    Awesome spot near Bozeman

    We stayed here on our way home from Colorado. Pulled in it was 98 degrees so full hook up power was great. Swimming pool was an added benefit.. campground and shower house is very clean. We will stay here again.

    Great location easy in and out

    If you like trains this place is for you. If not.. well they’re pretty prevalent. Thankfully we enjoy the sound of the train whistle. We got here late and left early ish. So didn’t get to take in all the amenities. But appreciated the grassy spot and the breeze thru the beautiful aspen trees

    Not great for the price

    This place seems to be nicer than nearby campsites, but stinky toilets with no toilet paper, outdoor shower with cold water for $54 for a small camper was quite disappointing. Trains and highway noises are extremely loud as others mentioned

    Spacious and Clean

    Very nice ladies at the office/store. Little creek runs alone one side, tall pine trees…just a nice feel to the campground. The showers had plenty of hot water and great water pressure. It was nice that they have a little off leash enclosed dog run. Just right for our 1 year old puppy. Saw kids enjoying the huge bouncy “platform”. We have this on the list to come back if we journey this way again.

    Perfect cabin

    LOVED 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

    Early Season Start

    Stayed one night late March. The road in wasn’t terrible, a little rutted past the gate up to the cabin, but easy enough to manage. It was quite cold when we arrived, and we started a fire pretty quickly. The cabin has an electric stove, small fridge and freezer, and a couple small lamps and even a toaster and coffee maker. The cabin is quite drafty and we struggled to keep it warm. We pinned a sheet up in the doorway to keep the heat contained in the sleeping area, and that helped considerably.

    Love the Sound of the River

    We followed our RV GPS right to the campground (CG), which is a favorite of ours for a two-night stay. Check-in was quick and easy. We proceeded to Deluxe River site 18 with 30 AMP and water. You can angle the rig in as you want to get set up on the wide pad area. The utilities were in the middle of the gravel pad, and we could park where our 9’ patio could come out to enjoy the gorgeous view of the river. They have free WiFi, but it was not very fast, and we used our Starlink. There are mature trees here, but we got a clear shot north for Starlink. We got 3 bars on Verizon. The water pressure was okay. Talking to our next-door neighbors, who have stayed here over the years, this CG is under new management by a couple who also owned a KOA in Billings. There are already changes, such as getting rid of the cabins and putting in some new FHU sites. There may be plans for new cabins in the future. We also noticed that from staying here in September 2019, the ponds are now state-stocked, and you need a Montana fishing license following regular fishing regulations versus no-license pay for the trout you catch. They also have a military and senior discount, but this wasn't mentioned/given when we made our reservations online. We mentioned it to the lady who checked us in, but she didn't offer to refund us the discount like other CG's have done in the past. There is no dog park, but there’s plenty of area to walk your dog. Someday we are going to plan a longer than two-day stay so we can further explore the area and fly fish the river.

    Great staff at a so so facility

    The campground is okay. The staff is wonderful. We stayed for just under 2 weeks. We didn’t have sewer hookup, but they had a honey wagon.

    The spots on the river were really tight. The river was really beautiful though, so maybe it was worth it. We were on a pond, and had plenty of room.

    There’s an IGA in town, and a few good restaurants. An hour drive to Bozeman gets you whatever you need.

    Sites are gravel. Lots of wildlife nearby.

    Great for an overnight stay

    We stayed her for 1 night on a road trip in one of the tent sites and it was perfect. There were several options to put our tent on our site including an area covered by trees and secluded from the rest of the park. It was right on the Yellowstone River. The staff was VERY friendly!

    Pull in for the night - just off highway

    Clean and flat pull up spots. If you’re ok with road noise and don’t want the “window knock” on your Campervan then this is a option for the night.

    Cool spot with horses but very loud.

    We came in late and it was already dark. That may have contributed to the confusion in where to go when we first got there, but once we were there it was fine. Not a lot of privacy between spots but to pull in, set up camp and leave the next day it was worth it.

    We LOVED visiting with the horses and they were very friendly and did not even mind when our dogs barked at them.

    Biggest negative is that you can hear all the highway noise and trucks like to jake-break in this area. On the other side of the highway there were railroad tracks. The train blew its horn through this area ‘frequently and when it stopped you could hear all the train cars smashing together. This woke me up a couple times throughout the night but otherwise fine.

    There is a pit toilet, with hand sanitizer.

    We camped in a tent with our 2 dogs and young toddler.

    Beautiful sites

    Conveniently located about 5 miles off I-90! We stayed one night on our way from the Badlands to Glacier National Park and I wish we would have had more time here. Our site backed up to the Boulder River which was beautiful! Clean campground, friendly staff, and adequate bathroom facilities. (I should include that we made reservations about an hour before we arrived due to our reserved site at Riverside campground in Laurel, Montana being abandoned!)

    The KOA is tucked away from the main road. Is has beautiful views of the mountains and is very quiet. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful! We happened to have a trailer hitch problem and the amazing staff were quick to help and ensure we were taken care of. The bathrooms and showers were clean. We loved the dog friendly fenced in area.

    Woke up in the mountains at this campsite. Stayed here for the second year in a row because we loved it so much the first time. Great place to go stargazing. We stopped for coffee and lunch in Bozeman. They have the cutest bookstore that has "Blind date with a book" where books are covered in brown wrapping paper and you pick a book based on the staff's small hints about the story.

    Only place open before April 1

    Ended up here on a winter site that had electric but no water or bathroom facilities (I knew this).  Site was plowed and I had plenty of room for my pickup with GFC camper to fit.  Site was easy to find and despite all the snow was plowed for me.  There are only two site that are available before April 1 so this was a convenient place to stay right near Bozeman for a night. Cost about $50.  Could have stayed in a Walmart, but prefer to only put the rooftop tent up in proper campsites so this worked out well for me.
