Best Tent Camping near Melville, MT

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

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

Only a few tent sites, none very big. Camping is more along the irrigation ditch but you could wade to the Stillwater River to fish. Would not recommend for trailers or campers, even a small teardrop would be tough to maneuver. Really feels like you're camping in the backyard of the ranch you drive thru to reach the site. Fire pits were nice.

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.

I stayed for one night and it was great. There’s 4 pull in spots with fire rings and then 3/4 tent sites with rings. Some people parked in the field to camp so I guess that works too. No amenities other than a vault toilet which was clean & stocked. It’s right along the Yellowstone river and so beautiful! Surrounded my mountains and peace and quiet. Arrived Friday late afternoon and they were half full. By the morning time, 4 other campers arrived. Everyone was kind and respectful. Definitely would stay again!

This is a beautiful place! If you get a spot next to the river they the sound of the water is phenomenal! They also stock the ponds with trout so that for dinner you can eat fish. They also clean the fish for you. The cabins that they have are clean and cozy. The tent camping sites are the best though. The showers and bathrooms are clean and have the best decor! They even have a laundry room for you to wash clothes. Right down the road to Big Timber is a small drug store with the best shakes that brings a perfect end to the day.

We came up thru the Rockies and Yellowstone with no available camp sites and it was getting late and we found a space here. We were originally planning on staying one night but stayed 3. The staff was so friendly and attentive. The bathrooms and showers were clean. The pool was nice and refreshing. There are raspberries bushes around the pool that you can pick. We made raspberry jam on the fire. Chokecherry trees surround the camp grounds that can also be picked. There’s a stream that runs around the back. While you stay check out natural bridge falls only 30 minutes away. Tent site was about 37 a night.

Great place to tent, rv, or rent a cabin. Really nice hosts, great views of the river and overall a pleasant camping spot.

Great place for an overnight or 7! 3 miles off I-90 with spots for rvs, tents and a big field to pull into. Fire pits and toilet

Staying at this campground was kind of different than others first things first. I’m from Michigan. I ran into a couple out here that’s camping and I can say they are the true Montana experience. They gave me advice and recommendations that you just can’t get on the Internet, I plan on STAN at campgrounds most days until January 1, 2024 and it’s interactions like this that makes me want to move to Montana

Arrived on Monday and not crowded at all. Room for 5 or 6 big rigs and several tents, depending on how they are parked. There is an outhouse. Access is easy but a bit rough so go slow. Yellowstone River is amazing, of course.

Free!! River view, close to Big Timber. There are only about 3 true RV spots and 5 tent spots with fire rings, but there is a neighboring field that one could also camp in. Minimal shade. There are also day use people using the boat launch.

Very nice campground about 6 miles out of Big Timber Montana. Shady campground....very loud trains at night...overall a nice place to stay....fishing can be decent.....vault toilet...no water...no trash.

There’s half a dozen spots along the river with trees, then space for dozens more in a big open field. There were about a dozen vehicles there, I was the only tent. Well maintained, grass mowed down, good gravel road, gas station in town 2-3 miles away.

Campground is what is described; a field where you can choose where you want to set up. Nice and clean pit toilet and looks like a good boat launch. Beware if you are close to the eastern (close to the double-barbed wires fence), the irrigation sprinklers turned on around 1030pm…would have been unfortunate if I was tenting.

We wanted to show a few pictures of our beautiful park here in Columbus Montana. We invite you to come see us and stay with us.
