"The KOA is tucked away from the main road. Is has beautiful views of the mountains and is very quiet. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful!"
"Bad: Mile long dirt road to get to entrance.
Would I stay again: ?, I might try West entrance next time."
$45 - $55 / night
"Got a beautiful spot just feet away from the Yellowstone River. Wasn't sure how long we would stay but decided to stay the full week allowance immediately upon getting set up."
"$18 without a Montana fishing license, but found a GORGEOUS spot on the Yellowstone River... on July 4th. Not bad. Pretty place."
"We stayed in Osens RV park in Livingston, Montana in September 2021. This is a very nice quiet Park with pull-thru sites with FHU."
"This is an independent campground about an hour from the north entrance of Yellowstone. The spots are reasonably level and about half and half pull-through vs back in."
"My husband and I stopped here to sleep on our long drive! When we got to the gravel parking lot, we took a left to go on the path and found a spot in the field."
"We took a spot just above before you drive down to the water. I wasn’t sure if I could turn around my 20’ travel trailer down by the water. Very buggy."
"All the sites in the area were full when we arrived to Livingston (Sunday of labor day weekend)."
"Close to Livingston. Very bumpy road coming in."
"Right on the edge of the Yellowstone River, about 90 minutes north of Yellowstone NP. This is an RV Park, so no tents are allowed. The view of the river and the mountains is fantastic."
"Great location with easy drive south to Yellowstone or dining in Livingston a few miles north. Clean modern shower & bath, plus laundry and store."
"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."
$55 - $65 / night
"A single, private campground surrounded by a cottonwood grove sounds like the perfect place for a peaceful getaway. The 60 acres on Miner Creek offer ample opportunities for relaxation and adventure."
$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."
GuideI arrived around 1pm on a Friday and there were only two spots remaining. I grabbed spot #8, it certainly is not the most desirable but it was a spot nonetheless. The campground has many beautiful spots, especially on the backside south edge of the loop. The bathrooms were immaculately clean. There were a couple water pumps. You sit in a canyon and weather can fluctuate fast. There is a parking lot nearby for hikers and backpackers. I hiked to Granite Lake (4mi) and it was hard but worth the effort for sure. As others mention the dirt road from the highway is about 15mi and there are some pretty bumpy spots. You’ll need about 45-60 minutes outside of Big Timber to get here but it is a great spot.
LegendInteresting that there is no review because I stayed here last summer and left a review with pictures. There aren't many trees but there are many open places to camp alongside the river. To the north is a boat ramp and Vault toilets because this is a fishing area but there are plenty of spots both in the open and a few under some trees and you can fall asleep to the sounds of the river rushing by.
ScoutWe needed a long term place to stay and picked the KOA bc we knew they would have flush toilets and showers and stuff. The facilities were fine — about as nice as you expect camping, but the tent campsites were so closely packed together that it was uncomfortable and sooooo noisy. I had to wear AirPods with rain sounds playing directly into my ear to get any sleep.
It’s clear they are just packing you in. I’d wished we’d stayed at one of the hip camp places I’d found.
TravelerAwesome Mountain views. Camped here after visiting Yellowstone. The road up was really rough with chatterbumps and rough divots in the road for my truck and slide in camper. The views are awesome though!
GuideThere is a Meadow about 4 miles in front of the highway that has at least 3 dispersed sites. I went to the one furthest from the dirt road and had nice shade and privacy here. I went all the way to the dispersed campsite above Fairy Lake. I felt it was adequate but the 2 remaining sites were full sun and the trailhead right below the CG was packed (approx. 30 vehicles)
GuideThis is located off/ past the Jardine Road which seems so popular. Many comments mention there is posted no camping along Jardine road for the first five miles or so. That is true and the reason is this is a residential street. Yes it’s gravel but you will see the neighborhood as you continue on Jardine.
I highly recommend continuing to the Timber Creek Campground which is free. There were 3 established sites with fire ring picnic tables and a pit toilet all amongst the trees at over 7,000 feet of elevation. About 5 miles in you will come to a T intersection with a well posted sign to the campground the CG is approx. 5 more miles but the road which starts as washboard gets better at this point. The only reason I face this a four star is because the flies, including horseflies were rather prevelant. I still remained outside for about 5 hours so wasn’t too bad.
ScoutMany customers but the quiet type. Tent solo camp.
ScoutQuiet. Clean. Spacious sites along the river. Way better than a most RV park that put you very close to neighbors. Booked 1 night passing through and decided to stay an extra day just to relax in the serenity.
TravelerThis campground is very close to the entrance of Yellowstone. It looks like the owners do a good job of maintaining the facility. some of the camp spots are a little tight.
