$45 - $100 / night
"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 were in a back in site that had a huge yard area and super convenient walking path to the hot springs just feet away. We went in the evening and the hot springs vibe at night is so cool."
$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."
"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."
"Winding mountain trail. Campsites well used. Not secluded, likely will have people drive/ ride bikes past your site. Relatively clean. Dense forest surrounding the sites."
$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."
"Bathrooms and showers are centrally located, warm, secure and clean."
$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."
$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."
"The fairgrounds are pretty close to the road, but traffic sounds are not that (less than the train sounds thru the night)."
$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."
ScoutThe campground is right off the interstate and noisy. The worst part is their filthy bathrooms! We wouldn’t step foot in them they were so bad. Few trees, bits of shade.
TravelerThere is so much for families at this park. It’s clean, friendly and nice.
TravelerThe road is very rutted but even sedans are able to make the drive in. When you get to the sites, you must park at the top of the hill and lug all your gear down to the creek which is a pain if you are needing to make multiple trips. There are 3 main sites, 2 of which are pretty close together. All was well until a huge group of loud and disrespectful college kids came and partied till 3am. Loud music, yelling and their dogs were off lead so constantly in our site. One of their dogs came and peed on one of our backpacks. It was awful and if we go back, we will be setting up tents and staying in each site if possible, just to avoid that nonsense again. I wouldn't recommend.
RangerVery busy road with lots of mountain bikers and campers. Gorgeous canyon to camp in though!
TravelerQuiet, clean. Had spot away from highway. Hosts friendly and accommodating.
GuidePerfect spot for the night trains every half hour is why I have it 4/5 stars
TravelerNot really any established sites from what we found, but it was a great place to stop for the night and very private.
We stopped on a Thursday and had the area all to ourselves. There are no facilities whatsoever, make sure to pack everything out and stock up on gas and supplies before heading out there!
The view is gorgeous, the river is lovely and the boat "ramp" makes for great water access.
There are train tracks nearby, which wasn't necessarily negative for us since we live next to train tracks at home .
GuideI found it easy enough to find a level spot where I could leave my little camper connected to the TV. Plenty of space. It is close to the train track and you can see the trucks in the freeway.
Editing to add: the road is a bit rough, not well maintained but I’m sure you could drive a big rig in here just take it slow.
I’m here in a Tuesday evening towards the end of August and it’s essentially bug free. The only noise I hear is vehicles on the freeway. I think there are two other vehicles staying overnight.
The actual location of the boat landing is (45.7088104, -110.3492486)
GuideYou park, and then depending on your site, you’re either directly at your campsite or you walk about 100 yards to your site. Each site is in the middle of trees and moss and directly next to the Boulder River. There is a picnic table and fire ring at each site. There is enough space in the parking spaces to car camp but there is not enough space for larger rigs. There are mountains on both sides of you. Part of the road getting here is rough but doable if you drive slowly. The drive here itself is worth it. It’s quite extraordinary. The campsite is not far from the Natural Bridge. I believe there are 8 campsites. I was there on a weekend and there were sites still open. My last morning there I heard drums and so I followed the soft beats to discover a group of tribal members camping in a tipi. That was the icing on the cake for this gorgeous and simple campground. There are no trash cans so pack it in and pack it out. There is no electricity and the water spigot doesn’t work. The sites are first come and $10 a night. There is a vault toilet.
