"It sits right next to the stillwater river. There's a really cool, elevated cement lookout area next to the river to set up your chairs and fish. Theres also a vault toilet and picnic spot."
"Great campground in Yellowstone National Park close to castle rock falls, good tree coverage, has bathrooms and secured food storage, it also has a creek - great for fly-fishing- that leads to the falls"
"It rained a few of the days, but it was nice to get out of the heat in town. We still got to try out our new paddle boards on the lake and it was such a nice place to try them out for the first time."
"we had a great time. situated between emerald lake and west rosebud lake with a creek going next to half the camp spots. toilets and hand pump water."
"East Rosebud Lake is heaven on earth. But every inch of the waterfront is private land. To get a kayak or canoe into the lake, you have to get in upriver and paddle up to the lake."
"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."
"We had electric and water at our site, and we were just a short walk to an inflatable trampoline, a heated pool, the camp store, showers, restrooms, and laundry facilities."

$40 / night
"Perry's has great tent, cabin, and RV spots. The bathroom and shower facility is perfect and everything on the site is always well maintained. Have never had a bad experience here, always pleasant."
"This family owned and operated campground is located outside of the quaint town of Red Lodge and at the entrance to Beartooth Scenic Byway."
"Awesome location, 10 minutes from the expressway and on the river. About a half dozen sites with a pit toilet that was stocked and clean. "
"Showed up around 5pm Friday and there was only 1 other camper. Had a third join by the end of the night but was super quiet the entire time. Beautiful scenery and river running through."
"If you are looking for a good base camp to go adventuring along the Beartooth Highway, this is a great option."
"He was going to set up a live trap and hopefully move them to a new home territory. That said, we were able to take a quick look at the campground before being shooed out."
"Very nice campground about 6 miles out of Big Timber Montana."
"There are trains close by but that didn't bother too much. If you stay with kids there are spots where the river current is quite strong close to shore."
"Within walking distance to the lake, which made it great to go paddle boarding. There is also a store up the road about 1/2 a mile. This is a really beautiful area and a well maintained campground."
"This campground is nice for its location in relation both to Yellowstone's NE entrance and The Beartooths."

TravelerThis was our families first stay at a KOA. We really enjoyed our time. We tent camped. We had electric and water at our site, and we were just a short walk to an inflatable trampoline, a heated pool, the camp store, showers, restrooms, and laundry facilities. The staff were very helpful with anything we needed. Great campground to stay at!
RangerVery nice little campground albeit a little pricey. If you are looking for a good base camp to go adventuring along the Beartooth Highway, this is a great option. Right along Beartooth Lake, vault toilets in each of the 3 loops and running water in Loop B. Loop C is set the farthest back and some of the sites aren't the most level. I opted for Loop B and it was quite pleasant. You have to get your payment envelope at Loop A. The road can be a bit rough. At $15 a night it seemed like a lot for what I needed. No service with Verizon. Great access to hiking trails.
ScoutVery helpful office staff, help backing in (the dreaded electrical meters☹️), very clean. No picnic tables ; pets allowed, but I did not find a pet area? Very clean place; only stayed one night, but would go back.
LegendA local couple told me that we should check out this campground. They said to take your time and enjoy the Chief Joseph scenic highway drive with all of its overlooks. The scenery driving up out of Cody is unique and inspiring. We stopped halfway down the highway at Dead Indian Campground and enjoy the scenery from camp.
The campground is split on two sides of the creek. The host is on the Cody side along with 5 sites. The garbage bin is also over there. We chose to stay in site 10 which is one of the other 5 across the creek. You take the main highway over the creek and then into this area. This site is large and has a short trail that leads right to the creek. We enjoyed the short walk on the campground road the continues past our site. We found a clear view of the powerful creek and a beautiful skyline. One site is a secluded walk-in for tenters. There are clean vault toilets on each side. Bring in your own water or purify some from the creek. The vegetation is a bit tall in the sites on this side. Site 10 was great but the others looked less inviting.
There is a hiking trail just down the road in each direction. One leads into the canyon and the other into the meadows. The trail into the canyon is the route that Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce used to avoid a trap by the military. Just as we were about to hike the thunderstorm rolled in. Thus we can only say that the start of the trail was good especially with the history adding value.
This year it’s cool but the host said it’s normally hot. She said all the green grass is usually yellow.
This is a nice stop along a beautiful scenic drive. This is grizzly territory so take appropriate precautions.
TravelerThis park was closed but it is now open. We are here in a motorhome. There mat have been water and electic hookips previously, but I believe that all sites are dry camping. There are several very long pull throughs. Park is nice and green at this time of year. They have obviously been improving the grounds. No picnic tables but there are fire pits. Park is on the river. There is a boat ramp. Scenery is marred a bit by an oil refinery nearby but overall it is very nice. We are in site #PT2 at $20 per night.

RangerEast Rosebud Lake is heaven on earth. But every inch of the waterfront is private land. To get a kayak or canoe into the lake, you have to get in upriver and paddle up to the lake. There is one small camp store with a deck to that looks out onto the lake, but know that the private land owners are not fans of the campers. Don't walk through their yards. The campground itself is scenic, but a bit crowded. The "beaten trail" is world class though!!
TravelerVery nice campground about 6 miles out of Big Timber Montana. Shady campground....very loud trains at night...overall a nice place to stay....fishing can be decent.....vault toilet...no water...no trash.
