Whitetail Cabin sits at an altitude of 4,048 feet in the north end of the Custer National Forest approximately 20 miles from Ashland, Montana. The cabin was built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Formerly a ranger station, it is now a registered historic site. The cabin is available year-round and is accessible by car, but guests should be prepared to hike about 100 yards to the cabin in winter, depending on road conditions. Some creature comforts are provided, but guests will need to bring several of their own amenities.
Hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding are popular options in the area. Horse facilities are provided at the cabin. In winter, the landscape is ideal for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The cabin is popular with hunters during elk, deer and turkey hunting seasons.
The cabin sits in an open area backed by a stand of ponderosa pine. It is located in the Ashland Ranger District, which features a landscape of ponderosa pines and steep rocky outcroppings. Custer National Forest supports populations of bear, mule and whitetail deer, antelope, elk, cougar and bobcat ( bear precautions ). A variety of birds also inhabit the area.

New 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..
Guide
We 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.
TravelerVery clean and well organized. Good showers and grassy strips between site.

This review is from the perspective of an overnight or short-term stay versus a destination location. We ensured we obeyed the campground’s(CG) instructional email stating to take Exit 135 and no others as there’s a low bridge through town from the other exits. We then followed the instructions to this quaint little KOA CG. The people running the CG were super friendly, and check-in was quick and easy. We were led to pull through site 82 with FHUs. The utilities were placed in the middle of the site to include two sewer connections, which was nice as our new Brinkley Toy Hauler has two sewer connections. The sites have newer picnic tables and fire pits. The WiFi speed here was okay, and we got enough of a northern shot through the mature trees to have usable Starlink. We got 4 bars on Verizon. The water pressure was also good. They have a spacious laundry with a nice book swap library. The office has a small gift shop with grocery items, including selling local steaks, as this is where the USDA’s Fort Keogh Livestock and Range Research Laboratory is located. They have a medium-sized fenced-in dog run, but there is plenty of room to walk your dog, especially out of the west side of the CG near the Yellowstone River. We enjoyed our overnight stay here.
GuideI am usually pretty doubtful about booking privately run campgrounds and try to mostly avoid them. However, this place was the exception to that rule. The place is pristine, nicely landscaped and it’s obvious they work hard to keep it looking so welcoming. All sites are pull thru with full hookup. Plenty of open area to get out and walk. We travel with 2 large dogs and the campground has excellent places to walk dogs. They also don’t mind your dog off leash if outside the “fenced”area. The store sells homemade food items and the welcoming free ice cream bars are a thoughtful and yummy touch. Ice can be purchased in the store. Bathrooms are exceptionally clean. Showers hot with good water pressure. Laundry facilities- 3 washing machines, 3 dryers which did become a high demand while we were there. One reviewer complained bitterly about the train keeping him awake. I’m a light sleeper and had no trouble sleeping. If I had found it troubling I believe our rv fan/a/c would “cover” the train sound. The sunsets are beautiful. This campground was a relaxing way to “recharge” after a long day. Peaceful and restful.
ScoutGreat park! We stayed 2 nights. Close to Little Big Horn National Memorial ( must see). The couple running it are so kind, love being escorted to our spot. Bathrooms and shower were super clean
RangerSuch a nice campground. The husband and wife team were some of the nicest people I have ever met. They gave us a token for free ice cream. The Wi-Fi and cell data worked well. Nice views.
TravelerStayed at KOA in Miles City MT on way back from Yellowstone National Park August 2023. This place is clean, wife thought they had the cleanest and best showers of all the places we stayed for two weeks. I agree. Easy pull through and you are led to your spot. The people help you line up with hook ups. Quite at night, great pool.
TravelerWe stayed 3 nights amazing views Wi-Fi works good
TravelerEasily accessible. Tent camping was great, and no one was around us. Restrooms are great. Very clean overall and nice easy to check in if you come late.
Guide
Cheap by comparison, 30$, with electric, showers and bathrooms
RangerThis is a very nice KOA, well maintained and clean with a cute store, playground, dog area, pool and pavilion area. Walking distance to downtown and to the Yellowstone river. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Shaded level sites. Pay attention to the directions given to get into the campground as there is an 11’ clearance bridge in town.
GuideSmall campground hosts/owners are very nice people. Bathrooms, water, and showers available. It’s a little windy but good place to stop and rest for the night.
TravelerThe owners are wonderful and all employees have been fantastic! The sites are very close and not at all separated. It worked for us, but we like more space.
ScoutWanted to see Custers last stand memorial, this park is very close. Great staff great place level spots although it is on a hill. Showers and baths were very clean. Would recommend
ScoutStayed here overnight on our way to Big Sky. Very easy to get to right off of I94. Friendly host, easy check in. Full hook ups, Wi-Fi, pull through site which was level so it didn’t take much to set up camp. Bathroom/shower facility was clean. Plenty of shade.
GuideStayed here two nights so I could visits Little Bighorn Battlefield on our way through. Just off the interstate, although down a washboard gravel road, so super convenient. Check in station has lots of local produce and homemade frozen meals. Was shown to my site that was only slightly off level, which is amazing since the park is on a hillside. Hookups were well located and maintained. Bathhouse was very clean and large. Laundry facilities were adequate, but only three stackable machines inside. 5 minute drive to the Battlefield if you wanna see it. Would definitely stay here again.
GuideNice place, was really quiet. Wish the office would work a bit longer hours.
GuideClean and friendly staff with pool available. Full hookups and close to some restaurants for dinner. Sites are gravel but well maintained and level. Lots of shade!
LegendJust stayed one night, but this is a gem of a campground. From the free ice cream when you arrive to the walking paths in the pasture to see the American flag or the cross, we thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay. Camp hosts are excellent and very attentive to your needs. Bathrooms are nice and clean and handicapped accessible. Only negative is, although there is a tree at each site, the afternoon sun can be brutal. But the host guided us to the most shady spot possible in our site. This campground is just off the interstate, but is quiet and has beautiful views. Would definitely stay here again.
TravelerGood shade for Montana. Level sites. Well maintained. Great over night stop. Definitely do it again
GuideWe pulled in yesterday and were immediately impressed by the warm and professional check in processs. You are given a map of the camp that has helpful information about the surrounding area on the back (vet and doctor contacts, etc.) Charles leads you to your spot, which is level gravel and spacious. Each and every spot has an incredible view of the hills.
The camp is on a Mennonite farm, and the family has outdone themselves with making the surrounding area beautiful and clean. All sites are pull thru. No dog park but a great couple of trails up the hills behind the camp. Extremely family friendly. And just 6 miles from Little Bighorn Battlefield. We hope to be back!
TravelerThe park is country centered in rolling grass pastures. The park is clean and modern and each site has a full size picnic table and grill. Bathrooms are centered in the park. They are clean and spacious. Also bathrooms are handicap accessible. Each site has grass even though the you park on gravel. I saw a sprinkler system on my sight. I was told they run it at night. The park has soft water well system. Very close to Custards Battlefield which is a most see stop. Management is very accommodating to your needs. I'll mark my calendar for next year to stop again.
GuideThough it’s not the most glitzy spot, it is clean and the management it extremely accommodating. You can get your laundry and groceries in town, only 3min drive away. You can even catch a movie at the theatre.
LegendThis is a Journey KOA. 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. Small off leash Kamp K9 park for your pup and a nice playground for kids. A community patio and grille was available too if you were interested. We opted for a patio site and it had the cutest wooden swing to relax in after a weary-making day on the road. There’s a neighborhood essentially surrounding the park. People (locals) often walked their pets road along the outside of the campground. Very friendly, small town/kind folks. Next to a railroad and the workers arrived early to begin their workday. This is a KOA Journey though so it’s close to businesses/highways, meant to be an easy stopover so the surroundings shouldn’t takeaway from this great campground getting 5 stars.
GuideTucked 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.
TravelerVery close to the Bighorn battlefield. Has full hook ups and we’re adding more while we were there. Also has electric and water areas also. There are trees in most sites but would probably be hot in the summer months. The owners are new(2seasons). Very nice Bathroom/shower area was very clean and nice. Really liked the large areas to walk dogs off leash as well.
