Best Tent Camping near Miles City, MT

Stayed 5 nights and it sure was lovely! Right next to the creek/dam, you can fish or play in the water with your dog. The 2 vault toilets were always clean & stocked. Lawn was mowed while here and everyone was respectful of each other’s space. Can’t hear much noise from the highway. There’s two farms that back against the place so you may hear some noise from it. There’s at least 8 spots here and a tent site. Definitely enough room for all rig sizes. Picnic table and fire ring at each site. Had 2-3 bars of LTE via AT&T. Definitely would stay here again! Only 15 minutes from mile city. No water, no trash but it’s free!

Flat camping sites, mostly pull thru, with fire rings, picknic tables. One vault toilet, always clean,always has paper. Campground is free and open all year. Some sites are alongside a pond, where I have seen people swimming. There is a short hiking trail to the river. Not far from the campsites is a boat launch.  I drive through this campground almost daily and in the last year have only seen it 80% full at the most.  Con: no electricity, no drinking water. Stay limit of 7 days. Very well maintained.

The town of Rosebud has a bar, that is open in the weekends, and serves dinner. 

The town of Forsyth is 15 minutes away, and has a grocery store, hardware store(s) and gas station(s). Also a one room movie theater, completely restored with lounge chairs. Forsyth has a bowling alley. Great place for camping, fishing, swimming, shopping, and relaxing.

I have good connection with Verizon here.

It’s cramped. Very close spaces with no room to do much else. The spaces are staggered enough you’re not side by side, but still very cramped.

Showers and restrooms are not the finest, 2 out of 4 toilets somewhat work and showers needed to be cleaned.

It is costly to stay here. There is internet (slow, so don’t expect to download a movie) and cable, water and electric are standard.

Parking is difficult. you have to park out away from your camper and walk back through the campground. The cramped conditions keep people from backing into the tight spaces; therefore, making you park away from your campsite.

There is a game room, but beware you have to pay for every game.

You are close to Yellowstone NP and that is about the only nice thing about staying here.

In summery, if you need just a place to hookup and sleep and don’t mind being close to other campers this place will work. If you like some privacy and want to actually camp with the family this is not very suitable, no place to set up the hammock, no camp fires, and no extra room for your favorite camp chair!

Just the observation of a family guy with wife and kids who love to camp and love our National Parks...

This was a quiet little spot. Stayed a few days leading up to Memorial Day weekend and had 3 campers come Wednesday and pick a spot then left their camper so they had it for the weekend. There’s 10 spots in the camping area then an additional 2 by the boat launch. Vault toilet was stocked and clean. Game warden drove by during my stay making sure trash wasn’t left out, etc. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Most spots are open with direct sunlight (good for solar) and the sites can accommodate most rigs since they are small - large. Had full LTE service via AT&T. There’s a delicious drive thru coffee place 12 min away called Cattle Coffee in Forsyth. Definitely worth the 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. 🤮
