Legend
Was able to snag a primitive spot for one night. This campground isnt too far off I90 near 3 Forks, MT. No cell service (ATT) at the campground but 5g at the caverns. Hosts were super friendly and nice. I was in A7 which had a nice shade tree. Did not use the facilities so can’t speak to that. They had a guest speaker that night share about the bat population in MT. Very interesting!! Be sure to unhook and get to the caverns early in the morning to get a reservation to tour. We did the Paradise tour as my son is in a wheelchair. The classic tour looked super cool though!
Scout
Maybe one acceptable loop, perhaps mostly for boaters. But there are 3 other loops: nothing is labeled, so good luck in finding your spot. The Manager site is not labeled either, and she was of no help. Dry, hard ground, no trees, nothing that might make a visit enjoyable. No drinking water; arid, depressing; i kept waiting for the undead to come over the horizon.
Pretty Lake, though.
GuideThe Paradise tour was really easy and it was spectacular!
ScoutCarter Lake south shore. NIce pull through sites with electric. Dump station with easy access. Many sites on the lake and more with lake view. Many shaded sites. Boats allowed. Very pleasant experience.
RangerGreat hosts, clean and well maintained. They do have drop in non reservation sites, but recommend getting reservations as well as cave tour reservations on line In Advance. Walk in for the cave tours without reservations best between 9 and 11 am. Beware, it's a 2mi hike uphill from the campground of you don't want to drive your rv up the caves! Deer visited camp at night! Check weather report, strong winds and we had thunderstorms. Warm showers $3. (Cave tours not included in camp fee, dump is $5 also). Some hiking in area, but .. bears!
Scout
The area is stunning, but we could not get to the campground. Our campervan felt like it was going to tip over because of the ruts. Will try again in a car someday
Scout
Beautiful facilities and friendly helpful staff. Lots of trees, minimal road noise
Traveler
Cleanest and nicest bathrooms I’ve seen in a long time!! We stayed in tent spaces which they were working to update with water and electricity, both of which worked for us! A storm came through and it was windy for a bit, but besides that beautiful skies and great weather. Respectful campers, and right by water access!
Guide
Campsite 1 was probably not the best choice but we loved the view… so did our wild life friends
For sure there is 1 grizzly that’s pretty big. He checked out our truck tent.
Mountain Goats will come in your camp and they will do what goats do and want to check you out. They are not scared
The restrooms are shutdown in the camp but the lake access restroom down the hill does work
1 bear box for the whole camp ground so be prepared to store food in car or tree
GuideDecent vault toilets and several of them. For the price the lack of water is not great but overall was worth it. One way road so keep that in mind if you have a large trailer.
We had a rooftop tent that worked well but tent users may find some sites a little close and overgrown
Site 18 I would not use if you have a tent. 17 backs into your site some and river access is limited between both sites
GuideCalled in last minute for a 1 night stay because my 1st option didn’t pan out. When they were escorting me to the campsite, they graciously upgraded me to a gravel pull through because it had been raining. I offered to pay extra but they said no worries. Bathrooms and shower house were very clean and private which was nice. Would highly recommend, especially with the Lewis and Clark caverns so close!
GuideMy site was very secluded, peaceful, and beautiful! There were very few other campers (it was a Wednesday), so it was very quiet. The hostess was very helpful and informative. My stay was perfect! There are bear boxes at every site.
RangerThe staff were very friendly and as helpful as possible. The restrooms and showers were nice and clean. Small store, nice pavilion area and a huge dog area. I did not see a playground area. The sites are very small and very crowded. A small fire ring and picnic table at each site however to sit on our picnic table one of us would have to sit directly beside our neighbors sewer dump. At our site two lengths of sewer hose wouldn’t reach from our tank to the sewer dump, so even though we paid for full hookups we were only able to utilize water and electric. The roads in the park are also very tight and in my opinion not very big rig friendly.
TravelerSuper easy to book a spot here through the KOA website. Found the store stocked with some pretty good food that rotates weekly. Clean and well maintained bathrooms and campsite
ScoutQuiet in the off season
RangerGreat location to explore big sky and Bozeman. Road not great to the dispersed camping. Will need 4x4 or awd
Traveler
Nice RV park. Very well managed. Very clean restrooms and showers. Small store, gas pump. Near Fairmont Hit Springs Resort. Very quiet.
Traveler
Of all the places we have stayed at this KOA had the nicest restrooms/ showers of any we have stayed at. This means a lot to me and this the reason for 5 stars. The actual site we stayed in was not anything special
TravelerThey need trees to liven this place up. Very clean.
RangerThe campground itself is in a beautiful location framed by mountains along a river. I thought $44 for an electric only site was a bit high compared to other States campgrounds. No water hookup and a shower was $3.00 extra. The sites are decently dispersed. The Caverns are about 3 miles away and an additional $15 to tour.
Traveler
No lake in August/September. Dry. Lots of ATV use. Dusty. Hot. Miserable.
GuideWe booked a pavilion spot with 50A service. Other pavilions have 20A or 30A. Non group sites are dry camping only. There is a water spigot nearby for filling tanks. Road coming in is a bit rough, but overall a great place to stay.
GuideThis place was magical. In a healthy Forest next to a beautiful Creek. Campsite was very well maintained with very friendly hosts. A little bit off the road but not too far about 3 miles. Took us 30 minutes to get into Bozeman. We were able to find spots the day of.
RangerClean area, typical KOA restrooms. Not much shade. Pretty mount and lake views. Playground and store. $5 for showers if you are not staying.
GuideThis is a really nice spot next to the river. It makes a great base to explore Big Sky & Bozeman. The dispersed camping area is just passed the official campground. I counted at least 5 pullout spots, but didn't drive all the way up the road. Most already had fire rings made. There's several trailheads on that road (I'd recommend Garnet Mtn; great views at the top!), so that was great. The road is in great shape and you won't need AWD. I didn't get any signal in the area (or along US191). I had to drive to Big Sky or Bozeman for some signal; just fyi
GuideEasy pull thru sites. Grocery store, gas on site!
GuideWhat a nice, quiet little spot. Not much shade, but lots of space between campsites. Plenty of wildlife (rabbits, snakes, deer).
