Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Garryowen, MT

7th Ranch RV Park accommodates pets at all campsites with spacious grounds for walking. The family-run campground features pull-through sites with full hookups, including tent areas, RV spaces, and pet-friendly cabins just 6 miles from Little Bighorn Battlefield. Dogs are permitted off-leash in the designated 600-acre area beyond the main camping grounds, allowing ample room for exercise and exploration. The bathhouse facilities remain spotlessly clean with handicap-accessible showers. Campers appreciate the quiet atmosphere both day and night despite the park being at full capacity during peak season.

Multiple hiking trails through the pasture land provide excellent opportunities for dog walking with panoramic views of the surrounding Montana landscape. Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument allows leashed pets in outdoor areas but restricts them from indoor facilities. For emergencies, veterinary contact information is provided on the campground map given at check-in. Nearby fishing access sites including Grant Marsh, Bighorn, and Two Leggins also permit pets but have fewer amenities than established campgrounds. The gravel road leading to 7th Ranch can be bumpy, so drivers with pets should reduce speed for comfort. Each site includes a picnic table and grill, making outdoor dining with pets convenient while enjoying the sunset views from the tiered campground layout.

    7th Ranch RV Park

    Best park yet!

    We pulled in yesterday and were immediately impressed by the warm and professional check in processs. You are given a map of the camp that has helpful information about the surrounding area on the back (vet and doctor contacts, etc.) Charles leads you to your spot, which is level gravel and spacious. Each and every spot has an incredible view of the hills.

    The camp is on a Mennonite farm, and the family has outdone themselves with making the surrounding area beautiful and clean. All sites are pull thru. No dog park but a great couple of trails up the hills behind the camp. Extremely family friendly. And just 6 miles from Little Bighorn Battlefield. We hope to be back!

    Grandview Campground

    The office behind the front counter is really gross. Unclean. Junk piled up to the ceiling. Unprofessional.

    Dog poo is everywhere. People aren’t picking up after their pets.

    Lazy R Campground

    Loved this one!

    We stayed here for 3 nights on our trip from Texas. Quiet, pet and kid friendly, and the staff was great! Clean grounds that they are constantly working on- and the bakery was delicious for breakfast. Close to Montana, Big Horn National park, Sheridan, etc. great location! But the staff was just above and beyond- so friendly, so helpful, and we’d stay here again!

    Beautiful

    Montana is such a beautiful state! The hiking and outdoor activities are limitless! My family and I go to Montana once every few years because he outdoor life is hard to stay away from. We stayed at this campground because there is some really good hikes nearby and we wanted to see this part of Montana. The campground was pretty good, just s typical campground. The restrooms weren’t the cleanest, but they were portapotties which to me are never clean! Bring your own toilet paper, they ran out the last day we stayed. Each site has its own picnic table and fire ring. Within the campground there is a large grass area where people were playing horseshoes, volleyball and spike ball. My family and I enjoyed hanging out in this area, throwing a frisbee around with our dog. Again? Highly recommend hiking in the areas nearby! We also went to the lake that was close by! Enjoyed swimming and playing fetch in the water with our dog. Loved our stay and can’t wait to come back!

    7th Ranch RV Park

    Great park with views from every site!

    We stayed at 7th Ranch RV Park in Garryowen, Montana in September 2021. This wonderful park is situated just a small drive from the Custers Last Stand and The Battle Of Little Bighorn. This is a family run park and working farm run by a family that has made this a must stop if you are traveling in this area . The sites are large pull-thru sites with FHU. All sites are tiered going up hill so everyone has amazing sunset views. Our site was a bit unlevel so bring your legos to assist in the setup. The sites all have trees and large grassy areas that are watered every night, so be forewarned. The road in is a dirt road which is a bit bumpy so slow down, as it’s only a short stretch till you get to the office. Big bonus is you get ice cream when you check in and who doesn’t like ice cream! They also sell homemade pies among other goodies in the office and they are delicious. Put this park on your list of places to stay when visiting Montana. It was an awesome stay for us.

    Grandview Campground

    Not bad when passing through

    We were told to call an hour before arriving when I made reservations the day before. The gal was carrying on other conversations so it made things a bit muddled. They wanted to know the kids ages, my dogs and their breeds. I felt this was a bit much information required to share, but that's IMO. I called an hour before while passing through Billings and it was a very short call, once again she was also talking to someone else. When we arrived, I was waiting to figure out which site "package" to get but wasn't asked. My card was ran and it came out quite a bit higher than the website lists, so expect 10-12$ more. Upon walking in the office, there wasn't much room to move around between all the gift shop items. I'm not sure if it's under construction but it had a strange smell, maybe cat boxes, or very similar. The map was easy to read, there are bathrooms and showers on site. Fairly clean but not much privacy as the doors are all shower curtains including the bathroom "doors". Laundry facility was clean but a small space with a handful of machines , it's nice that it's available 24/7 according to the website. Pads mostly seem to be a dirt/gravel mix but mostly level. Our spot looked as though it was recently leveled. The numbers are mostly missing from the spaces up front. I wouldn't stay again unless I absolutely needed to.

    Trail Creek/Barrys Landing - Bighorn Canyon National Rec Area

    Great Variety

    This place is not quite in the most traveled areas of Montana which makes it wonderful if you want to escape the tourist crowds in the summer. Plenty of locals and informed people realize the beauty of this area and will show up to camp for the weekend, fish, or just get out there on the water and play. There is a boat dock just up the road and the campground allows you to pull through so there is plenty of room at each site. The actual campsites are away from the road and near some trees with a nice stream close by. If you feel like getting out and hiking there are a fair amount of trails in the Bighorn Canyon area as well as some fantastic views. Overall, this place turned out to offer a whole lot of fun in a place that you wouldn't expect it.
