Windy Pass Cabin was built in 1934. It provides a rustic mountain retreat with few amenities, so guests need to bring most of their own supplies and gear to make their experience comfortable and enjoyable. The cabin is available from June 16th through October 14th each year. It is accessible via a 2.5-mile hike or horseback ride up the Windy Pass Trail with an elevation gain of 1,300 feet.

This is a fantastic campground with lots of empty sites along Taylor Creek. The site I stayed at had a fire pit with lots of room to setup a tent or camper if you’re interested. Lots of distance between each campsite and again, a pretty valley view with a beautiful creek.

I visited this lake last week. I love it and slope game. The water is pristine and visually appealing with no obstructions like stumps or logs, as mentioned earlier. The lake underwent complete drainage and dredging. It has been populated with eight different types of fish. I recently reeled in two bass weighing 2-3 pounds each. My wife has successfully caught numerous quality channel catfish. This lake is quite lovely. However, the landing area is shallow, restricting the launch of large bass boats.
ScoutWe stayed one night on our way back from Yellowstone. My RTT was perfect for this. There was a small corral for horses and plenty of room for a horse trailer and truck.
Traveler
The staff was great. Shop open 8-9 and had everything you might need, drinks, ice, and keep sacks. There is also a pizza shop attached. The shop delivers to your site or you can eat in.
Scout
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
TravelerWe stayed in a large pull through site in our van because it was all that was available during last minute booking. We enjoyed a single night here on a level gravel pad with clean private showers nearby, and we were able to sleep in because of a long travel day.
GuideAs far as KOA campgrounds go, this one was nice. The sites were close which was no surprise but we didn't spend much time at our site anyway. There are some RV sites along the creek side that have a lot more space and they also have nice swing benches. The store is well stocked and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The showers are private and clean and plenty of hot water. I didn't use the laundry machines but they look clean and updated. The location of the campground is perfect. It is very close to West Yellowstone and the entrance into the park. You could hear the traffic on the highway but it wasn't too bad. The campground was quiet at night. I would stay here again.

This campground did the job. We wanted to stay close to Yellowstone and it was pretty cheap… it was packed though. I’m sure everything is in the area during august though. Our site was also supposed to have a bear box and it didn’t. It would have been helpful but it wasn’t a huge deal. The campground host was really awesome though and was so helpful. The bathrooms were super clean!

This site does not exist. You can find the correct coordinates if you look at the other dispersed camping spot right beside this pin (see photo)
GuideClean 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.
TravelerWe 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.
ScoutStayed here for two nights in late June, to facilitate visits to Yellowstone. Chose site 7, which is on a cul-de-sac so is the most private and secluded of the sites. Most sites are out in the open and close to other sites. Creek ran within a few feet of our site, and we were screened by aspen trees. Great views! Very quiet, no problem with misbehaving campers. Decent outhouse. No water, and you must pack out your trash. Bear lockers are provided for you to secure your food and other "smellies" away from bears (this is grizzly country). Access road is steep and rough. Unfortunately, generators are allowed but luckily no one near us was using a generator when we were there. The vibe was relaxed and low-key. We reserved this site online (recreation.gov) six months in advance. They sent us reminders several times. Apparently, some bozos reserve a site and then don't show up.

I had a bison run after my car on the way in...that was exciting! 😆 The road in had breathtaking scenery. The campsites were easily accessible near the trailheads. It was extremely quiet and peaceful the whole time I was there.
GuideGreat place to stay if you didn’t book a campsite 6 months ago. Very quiet and beautiful wildflowers. Plenty of sites for trailers and great roads.
TravelerThe 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.
TravelerEnded 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.
Guide
Camping on a Thursday in Sept. many sites available. Picnic table, fire ring and the peaceful sound of the creek flowing by!!! Sounds like weekends this place fills up with reservations. Some water. Firewood at camp host until the 25th.

This RV park is simply just a place to park. Many of the spaces do not have any tree coverage although most sites do have full hook ups. You are right on top of your neighbor if you don’t mind that there are picnic tables at each site too. But maybe only 20 sites available. This RV park is part of the motel.

Large parking area as you exit I20 to Red Rock. visible from the hwy.
Good place to drop a rig & scout out (highly recommended).
Snow plow turnaround at the end of Bootjack Dr, so you can get turned around on that road.
Coordinates lead to the main area off the left on Bootjack Dr.
There are 4 offshoot roads we saw, some going way back, but most people were parked fairly close to the tree line, or just in front of them for solar.
Use Google satellite and then scout them out as the roads can get pretty rutted the further in you go.
This area gets pretty full in season, but we still found a spot pretty easily, and an even better spot down in a meadow by a creek (we needed sun for solar) with the help of a neighbor.
CAUTION: if you park down by the creek, watch the weather. It can get a bit mushy in spots, and the road in/out can rut out.
This is a local ATV & Fishing hole.
There will be traffic. Had a few joy riders on a Friday night, but everyone else great.
If you park by the creek, you will have fisherman coming down to fish. They were fun to talk to, and we never felt unsafe. Just be aware this IS a public area, and the local public uses it regularly. If you don't want people passing through to the creek, the meadow area might not be for you.
Wild West Pizza, Firehole BBQ, Old Town Cafe our favorites in W.Yellowstone,
Cafe Sabor in Island Park.
Groceries & Supplies are at tourist prices, come stocked if you don't want to pay them.
We loved this spot. Peaceful, friendly neighbors, cows across the creek on private land, and Moose in the creek 3 days, easy access to Yellowstone, and free. Mid 80's high, mid to low 50's at night. We did have rain, and even some pea sized hail, but mostly just gorgeous days & nights.
This one is on the 'return to' list.
LegendThis review is specific to tent camping which I don’t think is the focus of KOA locations.
For the good, the facilities we super clean and there were personal shower/bathroom rooms for use. The shower was great after a week of car camping.
The camp store had the basic and was convenient.
The location was very close to West Yellowstone and the west part of the park.
However, the tent camping left something to be desired. Our loop was around the back of the campground, with the basics of a fire ring and picnic table, it there was no tent pad and the ground was generally pretty sloped.
The tent sites overall were sort of fit into extra spaces and had little privacy.
ScoutLake Michigan Anna Abor 🙌 so you are a beautiful 😍 Holidays
GuidePulled in at 5pm Saturday night. Not a problem finding a site. No bugs, typing from our spot. 3 bars LTE Verizon. We went more north on bootjack road before going into the wooded area west. We love our spot. Rained a few days but we did not care. Will be back. Possible to buy property! Love it here.
We had a moose every morning walk thru.
Plenty of area to buy food. Chevron south 8 miles had the best food store and cheaper that the rest. Diesel went up 30 cents over night. Shell was the cheapest, south 5/6 miles.
GuideVery large KOA. Had a tent site next to the creek/pond. Very quiet at night. Check in was a breeze. Camp store appeared to be well stocked. Bathrooms were spotless, large and well appointed. Showers are not on a timer. Note there are 2 KOAs in West Yellowstone. They're only a couple of minutes apart but your navigation may lead you to the wrong one. "Mountainside" is the one you're looking for.
This campground is about 10-15 minutes from the west entrance of the national park. Once you enter the park you still have a ways to travel before you reach the junction for the ring road. So it's better to stay at a campsite in the park if you want to maximize your time for sightseeing. The KOA could be used as a home base for visiting the national park but it will entail a lot of driving. This campground is best as an overnight before entering the park, or as a base to explore the town of West Yellowstone and it's attractions, or to partake of the countless activities in the Targhee National forest.
TravelerLove this KOA! It had plenty of room for RV's and tents with lots of amenities. The showers were very clean and spacious with plenty of hot water. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay here and loved that it is close to Yellowstone. We will definitely be back!
TravelerGreat location. Close to yellowstone. Cattle range, but quiet. Lots of free spots for big and small rigs.
ScoutVery close to West Yellowstone, about 25 minutes away. Close to Hwy 20. Lots of camping sites that are in the trees or out in the open. Dirt road has ruts, but many large rigs were camped here.
TravelerVery clean campground, lots of amenities. Showers were very clean. Tent sites are a little bit cramped but it was okay. Felt safe from both people and animals.
I think the other KOA close by has more food options, but i liked this one just fine.
