  Meyers Creek Cabin

  Best horse camp cabin

  This is one of the best camping cabins for equestrians that I found so far in Montana. Getting from the main road into the cabin can be a bit tricky for vehicles over 30 feet. This cabin has plenty of room to sleep 6. There are Corrals for horses and pasture. And the trails into the forest service are endless in a couple different directions. There is also a vault toilet for day travelers. The cabin has electricity and running water a fire ring and it's also close to a creek. The only down holes are mosquitoes and you cannot overnight camp only rent the cabin so if you're planning a trip you need to plan and Reserve this cabin in advance as it goes really fast every year.

  Ibex Cabin

  Great view, nice open space, good sized cabin

  We rented the Ibex cabin the first week of June. The cabin was in great shape. The area is nice and open, however a few more trees closer to the cabin for hammock use would have been nice. If you want to hammock there are a couple trees behind the cabin that would work but it’s kind of away from everyone if they’re hanging out up front. The open field was perfect for letting the kiddos run around while being able to keep a close eye on them. The fields were covered in wildflowers, which is always awesome! Despite that, the views were lovely and there’s a nice babbling stream right behind the campfire pit which added a nice ambiance. Fire pit was in great shape, nice solid grate for grilling. The cabin porch had a few notches where we had the pleasure of bird watching some pretty cool wood peckers come and go. Picnic table was in good condition, solid and layed flat which is always convenient. Sometimes you get picnic tables which are kind of wobbly, but this one was great. The pit toilet was fairly clean, most likely because the road had recently opened to vehicles so it was probably cleaned fairly close to when we were there. There’s also a trailhead right before the gate that connects to the neighboring Porcupine Cabin which is cool to have so close. There were quite a bit of flies inside the cabin when we arrived but luckily there was a fly swatter hanging on the wall so that took care of that problem. Nice big table inside, good for playing cards/board games. The bunk beds were slightly questionable. Two of us slept on the bottom bunks and the other two slept on ground pads on the floor just because the wobbliness of the top bunks made us a wee bit nervous. The wood burning stove was pretty small. We lit it for heat about a half hour before bed, had to restart it about five hours later, but it wasn’t too chilly outside so it wasn’t uncomfortable when it cooled off. If it had been colder outside, one would maybe have to keep waking up to relight it. All in all, great area to get away for the weekend. Highly recommend!

  Battle Ridge Cabin

  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

  Spring Creek Campground & Trout Ranch

  What a Good Day!

  This is a beautiful place! If you get a spot next to the river they the sound of the water is phenomenal! They also stock the ponds with trout so that for dinner you can eat fish. They also clean the fish for you. The cabins that they have are clean and cozy. The tent camping sites are the best though. The showers and bathrooms are clean and have the best decor! They even have a laundry room for you to wash clothes. Right down the road to Big Timber is a small drug store with the best shakes that brings a perfect end to the day.

  Yellowstone Edge RV Park

  Worth it for the view

  Right on the edge of the Yellowstone River, about 90 minutes north of Yellowstone NP. This is an RV Park, so no tents are allowed. The view of the river and the mountains is fantastic. And, it’s close to dining in Livingston if you want that. Laundry facilities and a larger than average store. Pet friendly. The sites are small. But, I would definitely go back.

  Gallatin National Forest Snowbank Group Campground

  Creekside camping in active bear country

  Drive towards Yellowstone and the head east. The road is nice and meanders through ranches and homes, even after turning to dirt. We saw deer as well as an eagle taking flight next to us. Way at the end of the road is Snowbank. The road through camp is narrow and two-way so exercise caution. We were lucky to find a site unreserved for one night. 

  Sites have different feels to them. Ours stretches- car then teardrop then picnic table then fire pit and finally extra space for tents. We’re right by the creek and it’s loud enough so we don’t hear that generator down the way. Water is available and there are a number of vault toilets throughout. We got set up just before the thunderstorms. It rained hard and then the hail started. 

  A trailhead is just outside the entrance. Tall grass was everywhere and we never saw anyone parked there. We’re assuming that it doesn’t get used as much. 

  This is active bear territory and there are ample warnings. This is a beautiful, remote campground that we are enjoying.

  Bear Canyon Campground

  Basic RV park/campground with amenities for children

  This is your average family campground with RV park and grass closely packed tent campground (like literally right on top of one another split by single pine trees). Very much like a KOA (pool, shop, WiFi, showers, laundry etc.) but half the price ($26/night for basic tent site). No fire pits, there is a picnic table for each site.

  VangoBoon

  Overall great campground

  The hosts were very friendly and passionate about the up keep of their land. They were very flexible with check in and check out times and are pet friendly. Would definitely consider staying here again next time we visit the Bozeman area.

  Big Timber-Greycliff KOA

  Small KOA

  Typical KOA with those amenities. Sites are close together as usual at a KOA. Pads are gravel and super narrow. Lots of kids having a blast at the pool, riding their bikes and playing in the creek that borders the campground. Dog park is adequate though small. Staff is nice and responsive. We did not have a picnic table at our site and they quickly brought one when I asked. They said people were stealing them as well as the fire rings. A bit odd that someone would steal a wooden and metal frame picnic table? We gave our fire ring to the family next to us as we weren’t going to use it and the office told them they didn’t have any extra.

  Giving 3 stars due to the proximity of the highway (you can definitely hear the traffic) and train tracks (no train overnight though) as well as the odd picnic table issue and the narrowness of the pads. But if you have children they will most likely love this place.
