"We were very close to the path to go to the hot springs which wound up being a nice feature for us, even though it meant a bit of cut-through from other campers."
"We canceled our 2nd night as soon as the office opened the next morning.....as we walked around, we realized there are good sites- we just didn't have one."
$26 - $50 / night
"If you are looking to do some night photography there are some great spots just along the river, which the campground borders, that provide some breathtaking views."
"There is also a hillside right next to the road that is perfect for exploring, making fairy houses, and spotting little troll houses."
$26 - $60 / night
"Some are drive-in or back into sites, and a few are literally next to Hyalite Creek which is an added bonus."
"We were looking for a campground near Bozeman and a friend recommended Hyalite Canyon. We lucked out finding Langohr! Wonderful and secluded camping spots, and we found one right by a river."
$26 - $185 / night
"We love this area, and this site was fine for us...however, it is a bit of a steep walk down some steps from the parking spot to the picnic area. And again from the picnic area down to the water."
"The adjacent Hyalite Reservoir is spectacularly scenic. Bring your favorite watercraft or floaty, because you'll want to go out onto the water to explore, taking in the fantastic scenery."
"Fun little hike behind the campground to see the hills and valley. Pool is great, does get busy in the middle of the day."
"This park was in a great location and overlooked the whole valley. W/E only for us but there were some full hookups. Very clean facilities and friendly staff, right down the street from Bozeman."
"We stayed here for a few days off one of the main trail head. There are not many sites off the main trail head and we’re all full when we arrived."
"Needed a free site relatively close to town and this spot worked perfectly.
It was super easy to find, had a nice fire ring, and plenty of tent space. "
$50 / night
"There is also a train that passes very near the campground and can be heard at all hours of the day and night. It never woke me up but I can certainly see it being a problem."
$26 / night
"Two small loops about 1/2 mile off the highway. You feel like you’re much farther because the surroundings are gorgeous and Swan Creek blocks any noise out."
"This is one of the nicest campgrounds around Big Sky I was told, but they fill up fast! I drove through hoping I could get just one night when I really needed it and I lucked out."
"Bathrooms and showers are centrally located, warm, secure and clean."
$20 - $40 / night
"It’s a quiet location away from major roads. Even in summer the weather is mild so we opted for the cheaper option without electrical hookups. We then had two days I."
"Train runs nearby, so not recommended if you’re a light sleeper!"
ScoutThere are 3 or 4 spots in this area. I came in Labor Day weekend at 6:30 pm and was able to get a spot.
TravelerBLM campground right on the Yellowstone River. It has 17 numbered sites plus a tent area. It was free but has now gone to a fee system of $15 a night. 18 miles north of the YNP entrance at Gardiner. We were the camp hosts in 2024 and again now in 2025.
ScoutGood spot
ScoutThis location was almost impossible to get to, my father took his RV up the hill before we took ours up & his almost bottomed out. There’s no way to know how bad that road is until you actually start driving up it (it’s a tiny road on the side of the mountain) super bumpy, rocks everywhere. Don’t recommend for a camper of any kind.
ScoutSite rental includes passes to Hot Springs indoor and outdoor pools. Great stop and worth the price.
GuideIt was last minute I read about this spot on Dyrt and was pretty relieved to find something with great reviews and relatively close to home in Bozeman. We are literally the only people up here off this FS road. Strange to see so many dead elk carcasses all around but it’s Montana so not surprised. Epic views, peaceful atmosphere and lots of open space. I definitely will come back again to enjoy another night or two. Bring along wood and water. It is best country but I’m not in any fear whatsoever.
GuideGot up to this spot after picking my buddy up from the airport and we stayed here for two days. Had a fire ring, but no other amenities. Could hear some of the louder vehicles traveling through the valley at night time, but otherwise super quiet. Awesome view of the Northern Lights too!
TravelerPulled into a spot less than an 1/8 of a mile before the marker, positioned on a hill with a clear view of the mountain range. Looks like plenty of spots in this area and pretty easy drive in. Unfortunately staying for a few hours for some rest since there is a winter storm coming in. Trees aren’t tall enough for shade. Pretty good spot for April camping if it wasn’t for the incoming storm
TravelerThe page sez the campground is closed. That was years ago when the Yellowstone River flooded. I was a camp host there last summer it is most definitely open. Going back this summer as well.
