"We stayed here for one night while driving across Montana. There are two main areas with about 12 (?) sites total."
"I was looking to split up the drive on my trip and found this perfect stopover with a classic Montana feel. It’s an unexpected find on a long straight road but I’m so glad that we stopped."
"Picture-perfect Montana Rockies beauty. Didn’t use the lake but many were. Wooded small campground with basic primitive sites. Owned by National Forest & kept well."
"Nice sites, forested area, cool access to Yellowstone River. Clean pit toilets, reasonable rates. But oh boy, the trains came all night, announcing their arrival."
"You can get your laundry and groceries in town, only 3min drive away. You can even catch a movie at the theatre."
"There are several paths mowed down for great walks through the prairie. This is a dry campsite. If my dogs are happy, I'm happy."
"Great spot to camp if you’re road tripping and want easy access to i94. Quiet, walking trail, several spots available."
"We stayed at 7th Ranch RV Park in Garryowen, Montana in September 2021. This wonderful park is situated just a small drive from the Custers Last Stand and The Battle Of Little Bighorn."
"Being able to walk the prairie and watch the sunsets was a huge positive for this location."
"Back in sites facing the lake. Awesome to explore and watch the boaters. Drive the perimeter and explore the different areas of the lake. Full hookups."
"It is a quarter mile drive down a well managed dirt road to arrive to the site. There are ~10 camp sites."
$58 - $70 / night
"Tucked away on the outskirts of the city. Close to stores if needed. Nice sites. Friendly helpful staff. Full hookups. Shaded. Space between sites. Big trees. Bathroom/laundry facilities."
"It’s naturally close to the interstate and very nicely maintained. The bathhouse had been recently painted and the showers recently tiled. The staff were very kind and welcoming."
$37 - $50 / night
"This is no more/no less than expected from a private campground in eastern Montana. Very convenient off the highway and to town, also about 20 minutes to Little Big Horn."
"It's relatively quiet even tho it's close to the highway. Nicely spaced spots. Clean bathhouse and laundry. Hostess is friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Easy walk into town for groceries."
"Three sites in a wooded area with pretty solid views because the area around the campground must have burned not too long ago - dead trees everywhere, so no foliage blocking the horizon."
GuideNice but not quiet. I can't wear ear plugs and the "you hear them so often that you get used to them" excuse doesn't work.
TravelerWe stayed October 7&8 2023 and it's a good place to boondock. No services. A couple of fire pits. The pit toilet is far from the camping, so don't rely on it. This area was flooded a few years ago so rocks are everywhere. A nice 1 1/2 mile trail runs around the island. People take boats in and out at differing hours so there is some traffic, but is fairly quiet except for the train whistles which I enjoy but some may not. Tried to get coffee in town at the gas station, but the town's water supply is not working and no one knows when it will be repaired. Not sure if this is due to the flood a couple of years ago? We plan to return soon.
TravelerNo off ramp access
LegendCan’t beat the proximity to gas & propane, great convenience store and nice RV Stop amenities. Dog park, pickle ball courts, trash, playground, great views of the surrounding hills and local flavor. Level sites
ScoutNew owners have been here about a year and you can see all of the new improvements! Cute store! Vending machines in the laundromat, one of the offers ice cream, and frozen food. 2 Huge dog parks and pet wash. Bathrooms are clean and staff is very friendly..
ScoutBeautiful campground. Nice sites, forested area, cool access to Yellowstone River. Clean pit toilets, reasonable rates. But oh boy, the trains came all night, announcing their arrival. So bring some earplugs and you’ll have a better night’s sleep.
GuideWe reserved for a night but wished we could have stayed longer. Very clean bathrooms and laundry. The sites were a bit close together but it was not full and they spaced us out. The full hookup was fantastic. The sites level. They allowed us to let our hunting dog run in the open fields. Also loved that they let their Christ light shine with a cross on the hill next to our great flag and country’s symbol of freedom.
GuideDecent pit stop if you’re traveling through. Sites are nothing fancy, a bit over priced. Restaurant is not open Sunday or Monday.
LegendThe Custer fishing access site was closed for no reason so I found this spot about 30 miles from billings. Only about seven or eight pull in sights and not very large. I have a 28 ft total length and there were only one or two spots that would work. Only two spots I could find right on the Big Horn river, but a beautiful and Serene location. One Vault toilet and a couple of garbage cans in one locale. No cellular service whatsoever.
