    Hood Creek Campground

    Views, convenience and nice sites

    About 15 miles of paved roads from Bozeman. Separated sites, most with lake views. Clean vault toilets.

    Hyalite Canyon Dispersed - FS 1046

    Easy Access on Creek

    12 miles from Bozeman. Creekside spots are high demand, but other spots are nice also. Flat for rigs, and very clean vault toilets. Lots of hikes and reservoir is only 4 miles further. Hood Creek Campground 5 miles further had ample spots including lakeside.

    Beaver Creek Campground

    Beautiful and clean, great hosts!

    We were fortunate enough to find this place, thanks to the Forest Service branch in West Yellowstone. Pros: Beautiful campgrounds the area is truly amazingly stunning. Very quiet almost felt like bookdocking. The silt toilets were the cleanest we have ever seen. Host Gene is a hardworking guy as well as his wife who were so helpful that we decided to extend our stay by two more nights Yellowstone is close enough when considering the vastness of the area. The west entry point is a 30 minute drive. ( helpful hint) we got up early (4am) and drive to the hot spots in Yellowstone to beat the crowds, find a parking spot,cook breakfast and then hit the trails before they are packed by noon we are on the way out when literally hundreds of vehicles are bumper to bumper stuck in miles long congestion. We then have the rest of the day to relax or explore other less crowded areas. The Earthquake information center is a 5 minute drive towards Virginia City, definitely a must do(they close mid September) but there are plenty of interpretive signs to guide you. If you go when they are open they have a short 20 minute film and I interesting information on the August 17th 1959 quake that devastated the area. Take the guided hike to the refuge point, Ranger Joe is great! The Cabin creek hike is one of the best most scenic hikes I’ve ever done, it’s only a few miles down the road goi g to West Yellowstone. Fishing is a way of life here, the Madison river flows through the mountains here from lake Hebgen to Quake lake. Fly fishing only! We have the senior access pass campsite was $13 per night, normally $26. There are 3 loops and 70 sites, we stayed in A-9 for 5 days. I would return to this campground without hesitation.

    Three Forks KOA Journey

    Very welcoming RV Park.

    We had a lovely overnight at this RV Park in Sept 2025. The park is very handy to all the area has to offer, and the country setting lets you relax and rest peacefully after a long day exploring. The staff were exceptionally welcoming. Our pull-through site was spacious, level, and equipped with reliable full hookups (30/50 amp), shady trees, fire pit, picnic table, and Wi-Fi. The amenities were top-notch: clean restrooms, a well-maintained laundry room, the best setup we have seen thus far for the cost.

    Bozeman Hot Springs Campground & RV

    Oh Wow...

    This was a relatively normal campground, with a decent, but small, level back-in site, full hook ups, and relatively clean bathroom.  BUT, access to the Hot Springs facility next door was next level (and why this campground was substantially more expensive, at least in our experience).  Additionally, there was live music on the night we were there, which was an added bonus.  The facility had swimming pools, hot and cold tubs, a steam room, and my favorite, a properly hot sauna.  The facility caters to local members, so it is very clean and nicely managed.  The cost may prevent a multiple night stay, but for an evening after a few nights of boondocking...why not?

    Hyalite Canyon Dispersed

    Would Not Recommend- POPULAR COLLEGE PARTY SITE

    The road is very rutted but even sedans are able to make the drive in. When you get to the sites, you must park at the top of the hill and lug all your gear down to the creek which is a pain if you are needing to make multiple trips. There are 3 main sites, 2 of which are pretty close together. All was well until a huge group of loud and disrespectful college kids came and partied till 3am. Loud music, yelling and their dogs were off lead so constantly in our site. One of their dogs came and peed on one of our backpacks. It was awful and if we go back, we will be setting up tents and staying in each site if possible, just to avoid that nonsense again. I wouldn't recommend.
