Best RV Parks & Resorts near Fishtail, MT

RV parks near Fishtail provide convenient base camps for exploring the Beartooth Highway and surrounding mountain areas. Mountain Range RV Park in Columbus features 73 full-hookup sites with both 30 and 50-amp electric service, operating from mid-April through mid-October. The park offers level gravel pull-throughs accommodating large motorhomes and fifth wheels. Old West RV Park in Reed Point maintains sites with full hookups including water, sewer, and electric connections, with their season running from April 15 through October 31. Perry's RV in Red Lodge rounds out the options with water and electric hookups, though without sewer connections at individual sites. "We called last minute for an overnight and there was one spot left. Nice pull through sites, clean bathrooms and showers, and a nice area with horse shoes and another toss game."

Across the region, big rig accessibility varies significantly between parks. Several campgrounds feature wide, spacious pull-through sites while others require more careful maneuvering. Interstate noise can be noticeable at parks located near I-90, particularly Mountain Range RV Park, though many travelers report it becomes less intrusive overnight. Dump stations are available at most parks, with Mountain Range RV Park offering a public dump station for $5. Cell service is generally strong throughout the area, with one reviewer reporting "4 bars each on both Verizon and T-Mobile" at Old West RV Park. Most facilities maintain clean restrooms and showers, though laundry availability is limited. During peak summer months, especially July and August, advance reservations are strongly recommended as these parks fill quickly with travelers exploring nearby Yellowstone National Park and the Beartooth Highway.

    Itch-Kep-Pe Park

    Nice City Park along the Yellowstone River

    We spent 9 days here (8/25-9/2) to work in nearby Billings (40 miles east) before heading to Washington State. The park was quiet and clean and we had no issues with neighbors at all. This is a city park that runs on donations. A nice guy from the local government stopped by once to give us a sheet with the rules and city ordinances.

    Completely dry camping, although we were able to fill our tank at the spigot on the side of the restroom building. Grass or gravel sites with fire rings and picnic tables, with a mix of back in and pull-through spaces. A lot of space for big rigs and tenters alike. Firewood was available near the dumpsters in the middle of the park.

    The nearest grocery store is a few miles away in town and the laundromat was small but clean. A farmer’s market was set up in the park by the railroad tracks on Thursdays (4:00-6:30) that had everything from fresh veggies and homemade goodies, as well as blankets and jewelry and a couple food trucks.

    There is no dump station in the park, but there is one at the nearby Cenex station for a $5 charge during business hours. Otherwise the folks at Mountain View RV Park on the other side of the interstate will let you dump and fill water for $5.

    Full Verizon signal allowed me to work from our rig for a couple days when I didn’t need to be in Billings.

    Colter Campground

    Low branches big potholes- big rig be cautious

    I really wanted to camp here but after scouting we would not have fit our fifth wheel. The trees were about 7.5-8’ wide and height clearance was probably close to 12’. If you go to the end and turn around there’s some sites you could possibly tuck a big rig into but the turn around is very tight and you may get hung up on rocks. Though the sites were nice we did not find it big rig accessible in its current state.

    Spring Creek Campground & Trout Ranch

    Nice park

    Nice park. Sites are okay. Ours was one of the better ones. Spacious and level gravel pad with large grassy area on patio side. Our site was 50 amp full hookups. Many weren’t. Couple of small fishing ponds. Campground is situated on Boulder River. Office staff was friendly. Laundry facility was clean but dated. (Harvest gold dryers from the 70’s dated). Great proximity to downtown big timber, MT. One grocery store (IGA). 30 min from Livingston.

    Itch-Kep-Pe Park

    Hidden gem in Columbus Wyoming

    Clean quiet at night. Family and pet friendly. Large campsites each with a picnic table and fire pit. Public toilets non-threaded water spigot near the entrance. Water quality is great. 64 outlets on four different light posts near communal bathroom and shelter area. With a long enough extension cord you might be able to get to your campsite but I doubt it. Close to the river. I feel safe here. I got here on August 30th and stay till September 3rd that's why I chose month of September.

    Spring Creek Campground & Trout Ranch

    Love the Sound of the River

    We followed our RV GPS right to the campground (CG), which is a favorite of ours for a two-night stay. Check-in was quick and easy. We proceeded to Deluxe River site 18 with 30 AMP and water. You can angle the rig in as you want to get set up on the wide pad area. The utilities were in the middle of the gravel pad, and we could park where our 9’ patio could come out to enjoy the gorgeous view of the river. They have free WiFi, but it was not very fast, and we used our Starlink. There are mature trees here, but we got a clear shot north for Starlink. We got 3 bars on Verizon. The water pressure was okay. Talking to our next-door neighbors, who have stayed here over the years, this CG is under new management by a couple who also owned a KOA in Billings. There are already changes, such as getting rid of the cabins and putting in some new FHU sites. There may be plans for new cabins in the future. We also noticed that from staying here in September 2019, the ponds are now state-stocked, and you need a Montana fishing license following regular fishing regulations versus no-license pay for the trout you catch. They also have a military and senior discount, but this wasn't mentioned/given when we made our reservations online. We mentioned it to the lady who checked us in, but she didn't offer to refund us the discount like other CG's have done in the past. There is no dog park, but there’s plenty of area to walk your dog. Someday we are going to plan a longer than two-day stay so we can further explore the area and fly fish the river.

    Bridger City Campground

    Great town park full-hookup camping for cheap!

    Full hookups (30/20A electrical, water and sewer) for $20/night, what more could you ask for? This is a terrific campground in Bridger's town park, where they've set up 6 pull-through campsites on grass pads with partial shade. There's a swimming pool in the park, and within walking distance of a few blocks you'll find the small but surprisingly complete Valley Foods with excellent meat, a pizza joint, inexpensive gas/diesel/propane at the local ranch store, auto service, auto parts, around a half dozen friendly taverns, and more. If you need more, Billings is around 45 minutes and there's a Walmart in Laurel, about a half hour away.

    Without exception we've found the townspeople to be very warm and welcoming, too.

    Sites are set up to oppose one another with a shared pedestal in between, so scout your site first to decide which way you're going to pull in. If you come in off of East Broadway, watch your overhead clearance on the trees. Drop your payment in a locked box along the East Broadway side of the campground.

    Depending on where you're coming from and which gate you're heading to, this could well be right on your way to Yellowstone, and it's worthy of a stop for a night or even longer. It's within easy daytrip distance of Little Bighorn Battlefield, Red Lodge, the Beartooth Highway and more.

    Gallatin National Forest Snowbank Group Campground

    Dry Camping in a Wilderness Setting

    Snowbank is an excellent off-the-grid semi-developed and hosted FS campground.  Spacious and private sites better for small RVs, trailers, and all tents.  Clean vault toilets, bear-proof storage boxes, and plenty of community water spigots.  Decent picnic tables and fire rings at each site.  No hookups to my knowledge.  The campground is on recreation.gov and sites are reservable.  Access to a great trail and FS road from campground, other hiking nearby.  Also, a 20 minute drive to Chico Hot Springs Resort and Day Spa (food, bar, soaking).  Expect to see wildlife, and this is grizzly country so proper food storage and best practices are required by law.  No cell service.  Excellent spot before or after visiting Yellowstone.

    Pebble Creek Campground — Yellowstone National Park - CLOSED IN 2024

    Wildlife, Creek, and Solitude in Yellowstone

    Pebble Creek Campground in Yellowstone National Park is one of the most private options for camping in the park. The campground is smaller than most of the others, only about 30 sites, and not built for big RV rigs. This keeps out a lot of traffic, in addition to being a first-come-first-served campground. In order to secure a site at this campground, which is open from mid-May to mid-September, you need to arrive early, sometimes by 6:30 AM. The day we pulled in for a site, we were the first ones to arrive at 6:30 AM and the campground was full b 8:00 AM.

    The sites are nestled among pine trees, most are level, and all have tent pads. Our site was NOT level, but with our small RV (17') trailer, we were able to find a spot that allowed us to level the rig. There are fire rings and picnic tables at all sites, as well as bear boxes for food storage (ours had two). There is no running water at this site (aside from a hand pump), or electricity, and generators are NOT allowed (to our relief!). There are a few outhouses that are well-maintained and clean. There is no dump station here, and the closest is quite a drive, so RV's need to be prepared to haul out black water. Propane can be filled in Cooke City, about a 15-minute drive to the east, out of the park.

    Evenings get quite cold, as this campground sits just under 7000 feet in elevation, so plan your sleeping arrangements accordingly. In mid-June we woke one morning to frost, and most nights bottomed out in the 30's.

    On our first evening at the site, a bull moose wandered through the field next to our campsite over the course of an hour or two. We were also able to use binoculars and a camera zoom lens to spot mountain goats on nearby Mount Norris, across the road from the campground (see photo). Bears and wolves are both visitors to this area, as well as coyotes and bison. Lamar Valley is just a couple of minutes away to the west. Wildlife lovers will find this campground to be in a fantastic location!

    The camp hosts have been working in Yellowstone campgrounds for almost 20 years, and were extremely helpful and cordial. They are firm with following rules, so don't expect to pull over any tricks on these two. We enjoyed all of the campers we met, including some from Georgia, New Zealand, and Cody, Wyoming.

    M-K Campground

    Small but peaceful

    Season open year round in the off season no roads are plowed

    Limit:  16 days

    Pack it in Pack it out  There is no host

    Amenities:  pit toilets, picnic table, bear safe, gravel sites, gravel road

    The sites are small and pads are gravel.  Heavy stand of pines and a scattering of aspens.  The rod in is very rough but you will enjoy a very beautiful and peaceful site.  The road into the campground is line with dispersed camping.  The back drop around the campground is so beautiful and makes the trip more than worth it.
