"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."
"Nice sites, forested area, cool access to Yellowstone River. Clean pit toilets, reasonable rates. But oh boy, the trains came all night, announcing their arrival."
"You can get your laundry and groceries in town, only 3min drive away. You can even catch a movie at the theatre."
"My two hunting dogs ran amok for hours. There was nobody in the park but us. A few people drove through. The park is kept immaculate."
"There is a short hiking trail to the river. Not far from the campsites is a boat launch. I drive through this campground almost daily and in the last year have only seen it 80% full at the most. "
"Back in sites facing the lake. Awesome to explore and watch the boaters. Drive the perimeter and explore the different areas of the lake. Full hookups."
"It is a quarter mile drive down a well managed dirt road to arrive to the site. There are ~10 camp sites."
$58 - $70 / night
"The dog park is very small, more of a kennel area, but you can easily walk down to the pond and city park for more exercise."
"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."
"Right next to the creek/dam, you can fish or play in the water with your dog. The 2 vault toilets were always clean & stocked."
"Once it was light out we could see how well Mainers the grass was, there were paths to the river, mowed by whomever takes care of this place. Would defiantly stay here again!!"
$35 - $50 / night
"The campground is in a field behind the restaurant. We paid $35.00 for 30amp power, water, and sewer. Each utility pylon supports two RVs electric, water, and sewer connection."
GuideGreat place to park for a night or two! Very clean and well maintained, with a great playground and pool area for the kids. The dog park is very small, more of a kennel area, but you can easily walk down to the pond and city park for more exercise.
GuideThis place has great proximity to Yellowstone but that’s where the positives end. The spaces were very tight to the point where you need to watch out for your awning or slide. You butt up to the RV behind you and share water/electric and sewer with them. The whole place felt over crowded. The pet area is a gravel lot across the alley and down a ways. Still worth staying here because you can watch sunset in the park and be set up and in bed so quickly.
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.
TravelerMy two hunting dogs ran amok for hours. There was nobody in the park but us. A few people drove through. The park is kept immaculate. There are several paths mowed down for great walks through the prairie. This is a dry campsite. If my dogs are happy, I'm happy. I can deal with rustic accommodations if I can exercise my dogs freely without leash laws! The pond and surrounding scenery are gorgeous. I actually enjoyed hearing the train and nearby farm equipment. It was a whole vibe. I did need to purchase my conservation license for Montana. I didn't know it was "a thing." $10....worth it!!! There was an abandoned campsite that the critters got into the garbage. From the looks of it, this person was here with a dog within the last week. There's a generator and deflated tent, fishing pole, and cooler with rotten food in it. I'd love to know the story there. Lots of wood ticks, btw. 🤮
ScoutFlat camping sites, mostly pull thru, with fire rings, picknic tables. One vault toilet, always clean,always has paper. Campground is free and open all year. Some sites are alongside a pond, where I have seen people swimming. There is a short hiking trail to the river. Not far from the campsites is a boat launch. I drive through this campground almost daily and in the last year have only seen it 80% full at the most. Con: no electricity, no drinking water. Stay limit of 7 days. Very well maintained.
The town of Rosebud has a bar, that is open in the weekends, and serves dinner.
The town of Forsyth is 15 minutes away, and has a grocery store, hardware store(s) and gas station(s). Also a one room movie theater, completely restored with lounge chairs. Forsyth has a bowling alley. Great place for camping, fishing, swimming, shopping, and relaxing.
I have good connection with Verizon here.
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.
LegendThis was a quiet little spot. Stayed a few days leading up to Memorial Day weekend and had 3 campers come Wednesday and pick a spot then left their camper so they had it for the weekend. There’s 10 spots in the camping area then an additional 2 by the boat launch. Vault toilet was stocked and clean. Game warden drove by during my stay making sure trash wasn’t left out, etc. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Most spots are open with direct sunlight (good for solar) and the sites can accommodate most rigs since they are small - large. Had full LTE service via AT&T. There’s a delicious drive thru coffee place 12 min away called Cattle Coffee in Forsyth. Definitely worth the trip!
LegendThis 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.
RangerI can’t decide how I feel about this campground. I’m VERY happy with my site, but can see how others may not be. It’s a small campground, located in a quiet area of town, but a few blocks distance from center of town. It’s quiet at the campground. It’s small, right quarters, and some sites face the road (side road). It’s well shaded, full hook up, has bathrooms and showers, and owners are super sweet and very accommodating! My site is right in the middle and perfect! I’m not sure I’d stay here again, unless I was sure to get my choice of sites. I’m here for 4 nights and am enjoying my stay. Centrally located to easy access at west entrance
