    Easy in and out with great amenities

    Got on around 7pm and the office was closed. Easy night procedures. Still able to access the mini golf and pool. Kids had a blast with both and the playground. Nice full hook up back in spot. A little pricey for a quick turn but nice neighbors and great amenities. Just wish campground were open later.

    Great Views

    We reserved for a night but wished we could have stayed longer. Very clean bathrooms and laundry. The sites were a bit close together but it was not full and they spaced us out. The full hookup was fantastic. The sites level. They allowed us to let our hunting dog run in the open fields. Also loved that they let their Christ light shine with a cross on the hill next to our great flag and country’s symbol of freedom.

    More of an RV park

    Tent camping here is not very private. You basically pitch a tent in the middle of a bunch of RVs with very little tree cover. Also, we were in T1 and near the bathrooms which made it so people would cut through our campsite often.

    That being said all the facilities are very nice and the staff as well.

    Tent campers beware but not that ware.

    Nice campground

    This camground was fairly quiet. Close to town. Only issue with this campground is how they have sites marked. Took a little bit to figure out the site markers for tent camping. They have little concrete circles on the ground with numbers. After we figured that out it was easy to get set up and paid.

    Self Service, Easy In, Easy Out, Clean, Safe

    We just needed a quiet place to stay overnight on a road trip and this was a great option.  We made the review online and the way the process is supposed to work is that you receive a text or an e-mail telling you what site to park in.  Unfortunately I gave an incorrect e-mail address and had to call for support.  The park host was very gracious and directed me to my site and sent me a text with the essential information.

    The park is close to two great eateries - the Tongue River Brewery (Pizza) and Innominate (which means un-named) coffee shop with an incredible array of pastries, quiche, and hot and cold breakfast-type beverages.

    Nice forest service campground

    1 RV site and about 10 tent sites. 2 mile narrow winding road is paved but not recommended for vehicles over 24'. Garbage and 1 common water source. RV site is about as sweet as they come. Water, dump, elect, picnic tables, fire ring, right by a stream. $7 per night

    Won’t regret your stay!

    I am usually pretty doubtful about booking privately run campgrounds and try to mostly avoid them. However, this place was the exception to that rule. The place is pristine, nicely landscaped and it’s obvious they work hard to keep it looking so welcoming. All sites are pull thru with full hookup. Plenty of open area to get out and walk. We travel with 2 large dogs and the campground has excellent places to walk dogs. They also don’t mind your dog off leash if outside the “fenced”area. The store sells homemade food items and the welcoming free ice cream bars are a thoughtful and yummy touch. Ice can be purchased in the store. Bathrooms are exceptionally clean. Showers hot with good water pressure. Laundry facilities- 3 washing machines, 3 dryers which did become a high demand while we were there. One reviewer complained bitterly about the train keeping him awake. I’m a light sleeper and had no trouble sleeping. If I had found it troubling I believe our rv fan/a/c would “cover” the train sound. The sunsets are beautiful. This campground was a relaxing way to “recharge” after a long day. Peaceful and restful.

    Convenient & Quiet with Onsite Bakery

    We picked the Lazy R for a quick overnight stay on trip to Missoula, MT.  We weren't expecting much, given that we were tent campers staying in an RV park.  However, we were pleasantly surprised we arrived to find a nice grassy campsite for a our tent and clean restrooms and showers.  The following morning, we opted to skip making coffee and oatmeal for breakfast and instead visited the onsite bakery.  Winner, winner, chicken dinner!  Hard to beat rolling out of your tent, walking 100 feet and getting reasonably priced gourmet coffee and fresh baked pastries for breakfast.  I will definitely stay here again.

    Appears abandoned

    We showed up for our overnight stay on our way out west and the campground appeared abandoned. We received an email confirmation several days before our arrival stating that we must check in on arrival but there was no place to do so. A different camper was in the site we had reserved and we tried all phone number we could find and no one answered at 5:02pm. We sent an email to the campground immediately and are waiting for a response. Thankfully, we found a different campground 70 miles away with availability.

    Friendly folks. Nice scenery, especially at sunset. Full hook up year round, lots of full timers makes it a nice and quiet stay! Felt it was a bit on the pricey side at $65 a night! But is worth it to be in the comfort of your own home.

    1st KOA

    This is the first KOA/ KOA Holiday. A bit pricey, I think, but you pay for the amenities like clean showers and bathrooms, swimming pool, putt-putt golf, one access to Yellowstone River. Staff is very friendly and polite. Standard sites are close to one another but there’s grass between the sites. Nice for our dogs. Many trees. No sewer in Standard sisters. There is a dump station.

    Easy access of of the interstate

    This park has very nice full hookups sites with trees and lawns, some tent only sites at the rear of the park, and several water & electric only sites that are very close together.

    The park is in a quiet area with easy access on and off the interstate Highway in southeast Billings. The exit is he same one that leads to the road to downtown, the ball park, and the airport.

    The property has a small, nice pool, a playground, a general store, laundry, dump station, and access to the Yellowstone River via a walking path.

    Yellowstone River RV Park & Campground

    Clean and Quiet

    Definitely caters more towards glamping or RV life if that's your thing. The campground was gorgeous and staff was incredibly friendly. The only reason I'm rating 4 stars is because it's a long trek to the river. I assumed from the name we'd be close enough to it to see water or hear it from our campground. The closest "river" is a completely dry bed which is probably an over flow channel and then it's another long trail through field and bramble to get to the actual river. Aside from that. Their are fire rings/grills at the camping sites w electric as well as access to amazing private bathrooms with insanely awesome water pressure and very clean surroundings

    There are dry docking camp sites stuffed in the back of the Campground as well. We didn't get a chance to use the pool/spa but they looked really nice!

    Great place to stop over and stay a while

    Stayed here two nights so I could visits Little Bighorn Battlefield on our way through. Just off the interstate, although down a washboard gravel road, so super convenient. Check in station has lots of local produce and homemade frozen meals. Was shown to my site that was only slightly off level, which is amazing since the park is on a hillside. Hookups were well located and maintained. Bathhouse was very clean and large. Laundry facilities were adequate, but only three stackable machines inside. 5 minute drive to the Battlefield if you wanna see it. Would definitely stay here again.

    Not our typical campground but 5 stars nonetheless!

    General: Upon arriving at this campground (the FIRST Holiday KOA), I felt like we were in Disneyland! Everything was spotlessly clean, the staff was exceptionally friendly and even though there were rain clouds in the sky, it felt sunny! 

    Site Quality/Facilities: There are a variety of sites ranging from tent to full hookup with concrete patio, swing, and upgraded picnic table with umbrella. We had reserved a water/electric site. The first site assigned to us had a huge puddle from the recent rain so I went back to the office and asked if we could switch to the one next to it and it was no problem to do so. Sites that back up to the river are, in my opinion, the nicest but they don’t have full hookups if that is what you need. Some of the tent sites will hear road noise. There is a restaurant on-site (Pistol Pete’s) that was not open when we were there (due to Covid) but there was a food truck where you could order breakfast sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, etc. We did not try this so cannot comment on the quality. Coin-operated laundry. 

    Bathhouse: As nice as, if not nicer than, our bathroom at home! The tiled showers were very clean (it helped that I snagged one just after it was cleaned) and had a bench, plenty of hooks, a sink, and a toilet in an all-in-one. The water pressure was a little meek but hot. Husband had a shower in the alternative trailer– nice and clean but not as fancy. 

    Activities: Pool, hot tub, nice playground, mini golf all on-site. Campground backs up to the Yellowstone River with direct access, although the river was very low when we were there. 

    This very family-friendly campground is not our typical place to camp but after a week without, we needed showers and electricity and it was a Friday night in August, so we are glad we made the reservation to stay here!
