Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Billings, MT

A few miles off of the highway and you will find this nice camping area along the Yellowstone River. Very windy the day we were there, but the campsites were nice with fire rings and the scenery was exceptional. This is close to Pompey’s Pillar(which is currently closed for repair), and the Little Bighorn battlefield. Also not far from Billings.

Beautiful Campground, great customer service! Dog park, pool, putt-putt golf. They serve breakfast and ice cream for a few!

Never have we stayed at a KOA before so this stay was different than anything we’ve experienced before. The pull through site we had included a patio with swing and picnic table- but not much on space... probably only 15 feet between rigs(?) however the campground had plenty of activities and amenities, including mini golf, pool, lodge, dog park, playground, ice cream stand and a BBQ joint, and the mini golf, and food stuffs were all an additional fee. We were only staying one night, and didn’t partake in any of the activities, and at the price of the per night rate, I felt that maybe we wouldn’t stay at another KOA, mostly because of the spacing issue, and the fact that it didn’t really feel like a campground at all... but like I said, we are used to slightly more rustic conditions, lol. It is worth mentioning that just a few miles away is Pictograph State Park- and that was pretty cool, and a beautiful walk after a day of driving!

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.

Super cool getting to stay at the very first KOA in America!

Very easy to get to, right off of I90.  We travel and run our business from the road and it's crucial for us to have wifi, good wifi because we have small windows to get things done since we have 3 kids under 5, 3 dogs over 5, a cat and a grandma rollin with us.

We really enjoyed Billings, KOA.  It was clean, staff was super, easy in and out.  The Wifi was TOP NOTCH and fast.  We were streaming for the kids and burning away at the laptops.

Things we loved:

• Wifi
• location
• sites
• river access

Not so much:

• Microburst
• Kids playground needed some loving
• Sites were pretty tight

We will stay here again.  We experienced a microburst when we were here that knocked down several trees, the power and was pretty scary.  We pondered moving on but they cleaned up the park, had the power back on and wifi with in 24 hours.  INCREDIBLE!

This was hands down the best KOA we’ve been to. Not to knock the other KOA’s but this one was great! Is was huge, incredibly clean, family and pet friendly, and just a solid overall spot. We were in site 100, and where right by the mini golf and about 250 yards from the river for fishing. We’d go back in a heartbeat.

Clean quiet at night. Family and pet friendly. Large campsites each with a picnic table and fire pit. Public toilets non-threaded water spigot near the entrance. Water quality is great. 64 outlets on four different light posts near communal bathroom and shelter area. With a long enough extension cord you might be able to get to your campsite but I doubt it. Close to the river. I feel safe here. I got here on August 30th and stay till September 3rd that's why I chose month of September.

We were told to call an hour before arriving when I made reservations the day before. The gal was carrying on other conversations so it made things a bit muddled. They wanted to know the kids ages, my dogs and their breeds. I felt this was a bit much information required to share, but that's IMO. I called an hour before while passing through Billings and it was a very short call, once again she was also talking to someone else. When we arrived, I was waiting to figure out which site "package" to get but wasn't asked. My card was ran and it came out quite a bit higher than the website lists, so expect 10-12$ more. Upon walking in the office, there wasn't much room to move around between all the gift shop items. I'm not sure if it's under construction but it had a strange smell, maybe cat boxes, or very similar. The map was easy to read, there are bathrooms and showers on site. Fairly clean but not much privacy as the doors are all shower curtains including the bathroom "doors". Laundry facility was clean but a small space with a handful of machines , it's nice that it's available 24/7 according to the website. Pads mostly seem to be a dirt/gravel mix but mostly level. Our spot looked as though it was recently leveled. The numbers are mostly missing from the spaces up front. I wouldn't stay again unless I absolutely needed to.

Montana is such a beautiful state! The hiking and outdoor activities are limitless! My family and I go to Montana once every few years because he outdoor life is hard to stay away from. We stayed at this campground because there is some really good hikes nearby and we wanted to see this part of Montana. The campground was pretty good, just s typical campground. The restrooms weren’t the cleanest, but they were portapotties which to me are never clean! Bring your own toilet paper, they ran out the last day we stayed. Each site has its own picnic table and fire ring. Within the campground there is a large grass area where people were playing horseshoes, volleyball and spike ball. My family and I enjoyed hanging out in this area, throwing a frisbee around with our dog. Again? Highly recommend hiking in the areas nearby! We also went to the lake that was close by! Enjoyed swimming and playing fetch in the water with our dog. Loved our stay and can’t wait to come back!

Great spot short drive into Billing’s but in the countryside

Beautiful little spot about 25 miles north of Billings MT. Trails for biking and hiking. Fairly quiet and not to crowded. Just a bit windy at times.

Beautiful setting among trees. On the backside of campground several spots around a small pond. There's a public swimming pool and a nice small general store with laundry. Downtown Billings is minutes away.

Really nice KOA. You have road noise but it is really hard to tell you are in the middle of Billings. Great for overnight traveling but if you prefer nature and quite...not that kind of place.

This campground is extremely easy to get into! Nice and spread out. Others running generators so I didn’t feel bad using ours so I could work. Making our way to Texas and this was the perfect first stop. Close enough to Billings.

Great host awesome neighboring campers, host’s dogs without leashes + they are not friendly (bit my great Uncle) so watch out for the black and brown wiener dog looks like a small Rottweiler. Not a lot of garbages out so the one in the middle is over flowing.
