"It is extremely close to Yellowstone and very clean and comfortable. The wifi is decent, but the cell signal is active. Best campground of the year award right here!"
"Greetings were friendly and an escort to our site and help backing in was a bonus. Sites are close but we plan on visiting the sites and not spending our days at our site."

GuideAbout 20 minutes south of Bozeman, MT on scenic Hyalite Canyon Road sits Langohr Campground. There are 19 spacious single sites and the 20th site is a group picnic site for day use. Langohr Campground runs along Hyalite Creek and is tucked inside Custer Gallatin National Forest in a small open meadow with Douglas fir, Lodgepole pine, and Englemann Spruce.
I was fortunate to find a campsite as a walk-in even after arriving mid-afternoon at the beginning of June 2019 because it was too late to reserve online. Each site does have a picnic table and fire ring, and electrical sites are available. Some are drive-in or back into sites, and a few are literally next to Hyalite Creek which is an added bonus. A heavy snowfall occurred a week before and remnants of it were scattered along the campground. Good thing I brought a snow scraper to clear the picnic table of snow. The fee is $20.00 per campsite for two vehicles and $8.00 for any additional vehicles. The group picnic site is $45.00 for day use. I paid cash for the site, but I believe you may also pay by credit card.
Many of the campers were settling in and had parked RVs and pop-ups. Pets are allowed but must be on a leash as wildlife such as bears, deers, moose, and elk frequent the area. Bear lockers should be used for food storage or properly stored in vehicles. There are huge bear safe trash and recycling containers near the entrance for campers to use. The bathroom is clean, free of odor and bugs, and it is a vault toilet. There are no showers, dump station, or camp store, but you are close to Bozeman. The camp host was settled on site 11 and sells firewood for $6.00. You can take a walk along the Hyalite Creek or drive 3.5 miles south down to Hyalite Reservoir for other activities such as fishing, kayaking, canoeing, climbing, hiking, and boating. The night sky was pretty spectacular especially with the trees around on a clear day.
GuideThis is an independent campground about an hour from the north entrance of Yellowstone. The spots are reasonably level and about half and half pull-through vs back in. They use a larger size gravel on the roads so there is very little dust. The staff is very attentive and there seems to be good security at the campground. The hookups are well placed and everything worked well. Bathrooms and showers are reasonably clean and seem to be cleaned frequently. Nice fenced in dog area. All the spots have nice new plastic picnic tables. No fire rings. Grounds are very well cared for, grass is in great shape. There are lots of restaurants and shops nearby.
A few things to be aware of:
TravelerSpent four days the end of August. Weather was pleasant and campground was very clean. Spacing not too bad, but I like State Parks as you get privacy. You are very close to town and entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Has full hookups to include cable TV.
RangerCamped here many times over the years, it was our favorite place in the park. It's a bit more like a National Forest CG because it's somewhat off the beaten path and quiet. It is certainly more crowded these days than it used to be, back then it rarely filled.
The site are good, some more private than others. It is NOT a place for Big Rigs, I think the length limit was 35' last time I was there (vehicle + trailer or whatever you're pulling) and they strictly enforced that. The volunteers at the entrance cabin actually brought out a tape measure and measured my 4Runner and 17' Casita at 31' so we got in. Many rigs behind us in line were too big and were turned away.
The creeks (Indian & Obsidian) contain small Brook Trout. For supplies, Mammoth is the closest place.
Have been the in June, July August & September.
The campground is totally on the reservation system unlike a few years ago. No 1st come, 1st serve anymore.
TravelerVery clean facilities and spacious sites. Big rig friendly as well as camper vans and everything in between. Very friendly and helpful staff. Check in is fast and easy. Stayed 3 nights and hated to leave. Highly recommended.
GuideSmall family friendly campground Very close to town for supplies. 15 minutes from 4 separate summer weekend outdoor music venues. Local yellowstone river float trips. Available.
GuideNot a lot of spots but the ones they do have nice fire rings, tucked away spots for tents, bear boxes and picnic tables. The sites are kinda close to one another so if you’re looking for private this is probably not it. A couple of bathrooms. We have not seen a pay station so not sure if it costs or not. One review said it did. Close to town of Red Lodge where you can get supplies, gas, etc. was able to easily get down the road with our 13 ft travel trailer. We had a couple of bars of internet!
GuideStayed here one night after passing through Bozeman to get my Go Fast Camper. It did not disappoint. We stayed at spot 12 and it had amazing views of the lake/reservoir and mountain. Hiking trails around there are great as well. Camp hosts were super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. Pet friendly! No AT&T or Sprint cell signal.
TravelerFull hookup campground in the heart of Yellowstone. This is a large, busy campground with oddly shaped spots where you park beside your trailer. Big rigs may find it a tight fit but our small trailer was fine. Nearby store is well stocked and gas was available as well. Lake Lodge and Lake Hotel are nearby and offer lots of food choices. Showers were adequate but busy and expect to wait during peak season. No wifi or cell service. If you are looking for scenery you won't find it here, but it's a great base for your Yellowstone explorations due to the central location.
NOTE: Only hard-sided units are allowed here due to bears frequenting the campground.
