Best Tent Camping near Miles City, MT

Easily accessible. Tent camping was great, and no one was around us. Restrooms are great. Very clean overall and nice easy to check in if you come late.

Bring bug spray as there are quite a few mosquitoes, but the tent sites are clean and they pick up garbage every morning from your site! Great helpful staff members and a small store with a few necessities. There are a few restaurants and stores in town to check out such as the oldest bar in MT!

We were tent camping. Keep that in mind.

First the bad: There’s a train that passes by about 5 times throughout the night. It’s about 6 blocks away- but still very noticeable. However- this is a problem for almost every campground in the area. Also theres a ton of GIANT dead cottonwood branches overhead EVERYWHERE. They need to send a crew out to clean that up. Someone is going to get hurt one of these days (I’m an arborist! LOL)

The good: They have trees. Big ones. It’s pretty. There’s a big river a 30 second’s walk from the campground. There’s pit toilets. They stink, but they’re clean and stocked. There is running water and it tastes good! Each campsite has a picnic table. The campsites are not crammed one on top of eachother. You can come in late- they don’t lock the gates at night BUT YOU DO HAVE TO OPEN THE GATE YOURSELF. Minus the train, it’s SUPER quiet and dark.

Stayed at KOA in Miles City MT on way back from Yellowstone National Park August 2023.  This place is clean, wife thought they had the cleanest and best showers of all the places we stayed for two weeks.  I agree. Easy pull through and you are led to your spot.  The people help you line up with hook ups.  Quite at night, great pool.

Great place to crash in my tent on my long road trip. Quick hike down to the Yellowstone River where there is great rock picking and it’s the perfect spot to cool off in the middle of a hot Montana summer. The cicadas were pretty loud, but that’s inevitable! Nice, clean showers and bathrooms were a plus on my long trip!

My two hunting dogs ran amok for hours. There was nobody in the park but us. A few people drove through. The park is kept immaculate. There are several paths mowed down for great walks through the prairie. This is a dry campsite. If my dogs are happy, I'm happy. I can deal with rustic accommodations if I can exercise my dogs freely without leash laws! The pond and surrounding scenery are gorgeous. I actually enjoyed hearing the train and nearby farm equipment. It was a whole vibe. I did need to purchase my conservation license for Montana. I didn't know it was "a thing." $10....worth it!!! There was an abandoned campsite that the critters got into the garbage. From the looks of it, this person was here with a dog within the last week. There's a generator and deflated tent, fishing pole, and cooler with rotten food in it. I'd love to know the story there. Lots of wood ticks, btw. 🤮

Good shade for Montana. Level sites. Well maintained. Great over night stop. Definitely do it again

Picture-perfect Montana Rockies beauty. Didn’t use the lake but many were. Wooded small campground with basic primitive sites. Owned by National Forest & kept well. Filled up by mid-afternoon, were lucky to get there early. Exceptional views.

Quiet Montana FAS campground along the Yellowstone River. It is part of the extensive network of fishing access sites. Some are free, some aren’t and other FAS have no camping. There is a downloadable pamphlet with info on these facilities. Photo is of the gravel near the boat launch which a short drive from camping area.

Vault toilet/picnic table

Free

We were there in October 2019 plus September 2020

I am adding my review because I want people to know that if you plan on staying at this rv place for long periods at a time I wouldn't recommend it. Came here in the end of August for my husband to go to school for his CDL. We are leaving tomorrow. The flies are absolutely horrible since there is a pasture and has cows and goats right next to the camp. If you come in winter as it seems to have just started, they are not setup to be all year round. They need to advertise they are a seasonal place. Setup is strange as well. Owner is just as strange as the setup. They complain about everything. Anyway just letting everyone know our experience but if you decide to stay here anytime soon make sure you water tank is full of water! Pool is closed of course since it's winter. It's right off the freeway which actually isn't too bad. The playground is gone now. Bathrooms and laundry have been closed since covid started. No WiFi

We stayed overnight without a reservation. The office was open late and they were very accommodating. We got the last spot, and even though we were a bit too big they told us we could stay. The showers were hot, clean, and private. This is a perfect stop to use the full hookups for a night while traveling through. Even without WiFi, you get solid amenities for what you pay. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful! Would absolutely stay again.

Clean and friendly staff with pool available. Full hookups and close to some restaurants for dinner. Sites are gravel but well maintained and level. Lots of shade!

Nice place, was really quiet. Wish the office would work a bit longer hours.

Great place to park for a night or two! Very clean and well maintained, with a great playground and pool area for the kids. The dog park is very small, more of a kennel area, but you can easily walk down to the pond and city park for more exercise.

This camp site is an older campground. The connections were in odd locations for my motorhome. The electric and sewage were at the end of the pull through. The swimming pool is Small but was refreshing on a day when the temp was 109. The best part of this location was the hospitality of the host. We were in space 30 and it was in full sun.

This is your typical KOA, very nice staff, very clean but lots of people. It is also RIGHT next to a train track which ran all night

We just used this as a place to refuel, buy groceries, do laundry, etc. Very pretty campground and staff were very friendly.

Tucked away on the outskirts of the city. Close to stores if needed. Nice sites. Friendly helpful staff. Full hookups. Shaded. Space between sites. Big trees. Bathroom/laundry facilities.

This is a very nice KOA, well maintained and clean with a cute store, playground, dog area, pool and pavilion area. Walking distance to downtown and to the Yellowstone river. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Shaded level sites. Pay attention to the directions given to get into the campground as there is an 11’ clearance bridge in town.

Small campground right in town. Near museum and shops. You can walk most everywhere. Good washing facilities

This review is from the perspective of an overnight or short-term stay versus a destination location. We ensured we obeyed the campground’s(CG) instructional email stating to take Exit 135 and no others as there’s a low bridge through town from the other exits. We then followed the instructions to this quaint little KOA CG. The people running the CG were super friendly, and check-in was quick and easy. We were led to pull through site 82 with FHUs. The utilities were placed in the middle of the site to include two sewer connections, which was nice as our new Brinkley Toy Hauler has two sewer connections. The sites have newer picnic tables and fire pits. The WiFi speed here was okay, and we got enough of a northern shot through the mature trees to have usable Starlink. We got 4 bars on Verizon. The water pressure was also good. They have a spacious laundry with a nice book swap library. The office has a small gift shop with grocery items, including selling local steaks, as this is where the USDA’s Fort Keogh Livestock and Range Research Laboratory is located. They have a medium-sized fenced-in dog run, but there is plenty of room to walk your dog, especially out of the west side of the CG near the Yellowstone River. We enjoyed our overnight stay here.
