Best Tent Camping near Livingston, MT

We stayed for one night and camped in a tent. The river access was nice, as were the campsites. However, there were not many marked tent sites and there was dog poop everywhere. Other than that, it was very nice! They have 2 vault toilets.

Came in late in the rain…they had cabins available for not much more than a tent site. That was a blessing for us since we have been tent camping. Staff is very helpful and friendly!

Between the free coffee, breakfast, & hot spring access our stay was worth it. Tent sites were small, no privacy. I wish we would have had our RV. Not an ideal place to tent camp in my opinion. Near a busy (noisy) highway. Clean facilities. Staff were all friendly & helpful.

This is your average family campground with RV park and grass closely packed tent campground (like literally right on top of one another split by single pine trees). Very much like a KOA (pool, shop, WiFi, showers, laundry etc.) but half the price ($26/night for basic tent site). No fire pits, there is a picnic table for each site.

Nice park. Sites are okay. Ours was one of the better ones. Spacious and level gravel pad with large grassy area on patio side. Our site was 50 amp full hookups. Many weren’t. Couple of small fishing ponds. Campground is situated on Boulder River. Office staff was friendly. Laundry facility was clean but dated. (Harvest gold dryers from the 70’s dated). Great proximity to downtown big timber, MT. One grocery store (IGA). 30 min from Livingston.

Currently rooftop tent camping all over Montana had stopped here for the night ran into a guy and was told this was the Last river that does not have dams and that the locals are fighting to keep it that way

A private campground just north of Yellowstone national park which offers for hook ups for larger rakes as well as tent sites along the Yellowstone River. A little pricey but very convenient. We took a tent site for $30 a night for our VW van. I can’t post was nice enough to allow us to recharge our house battery in the morning while we took showers.

$60 for a late check in tent site. Pass

Nice roads and huge beautiful sites. Being a small female solo tent camping I felt safe. There are lots of elk and rabbits.

Great little KOA. Awesome views of the Absaroka range. Book early. Tent sites were great. Nice dog park, small though.

Tent camped for 1 night. Campground was quiet and had very clean bathrooms/showers. Would definitely stay here again but pay the extra $10 for dry camp as it was pretty muddy

OK this place is awesome. Great hotsprings. Greatly needed after hiking in the area. Clean rv and tent camping. Supurb staff. Lots of things to do for the kids. Free breakfast. Lots and lots to do in the town.

We stayed her for 1 night on a road trip in one of the tent sites and it was perfect. There were several options to put our tent on our site including an area covered by trees and secluded from the rest of the park. It was right on the Yellowstone River. The staff was VERY friendly!

I really hated my time here. I gave 2 stars because the people are nice and the site and facilities are generally well kept. Maybe my problems were largely seasonal, I stayed in mid September. First of all the tent sites are very close to a highway which is busy with big rigs and traffic all night, there is also a train that goes off as it nears. While I was here next door was also construction that had vehicles beeping early in the morning. Sleeping here was rough, I woke up from noise at all hours. The other main issue for me was the bugs. They were on EVERYTHING (pictured), again, maybe a seasonal issue. The tent sites are also under these trees that drop sticky leaves all over the site and leave a sticky residue all over your car and tent. RV camping here is probably much better because it's quieter and not so close to the road. I would recommend, at least in this season, spending a little more and going to the hot springs campground.

Tent camping sites are snug and offer no privacy. Scenic spot high above the river. Bathrooms clean, showers without timer. Right on highway but little traffic and quiet at night. Good overnight if you plan to explore Mammoth and Lamar Valley. Typically I'm traveling by motorhome so I always check out the sites....this campground had tight RV sites, no privacy, generous hook ups.

Beautiful sunsets, clean bathrooms and laundry room. We tent camped and the grounds are beautiful. Fun little hike behind the campground to see the hills and valley. Pool is great, does get busy in the middle of the day. It does have a lot of road noise and trains but I love the train sounds so it isn’t an issue for us. Friendly and kind staff, overall wonderful campground if you want to be close to Bozeman.

At more than $60/night for a primitive tent site, I only popped for this spot because I needed reliable service for a meeting the next morning.

The hot springs themselves were man-made pools and packed when I was there.

If I was in an RV and spending a long weekend in Bozeman, this spot was conveniently located.

Just a little pricey for my needs!

It's $20 bucks a night for tent camping, and has a bathroom with showers. The bathroom stalls are funny. If you sit on the toilet seat, your knees hit the stall door. The shower floors are not nice, but it's still a shower. There is Wi-Fi as well. The guy who runs the campground is very chill. We didn't have to reserve a spot, which was really nice. Overall I liked it. It's only an hour away from the north end of Yellowstone. I would go back.

Beautiful CG spot for fishing access. Drift Boat ramp and 6 to 8 designated camp sites. Plus overflow. 2 or 3 tent sites. Reviews about noise, no water and dog poop are justified but hey its a fish camp. People are great. Dogs are friendly. Will always be crowded on weekends. AT&T 5 bars even picked up 30 digital access TV channels Update June 2022. CG closed due to Yellowstone river flooding. Check with MT Fish, wildlife and parks for updates
