    Fairy Lake Campground

    Gorgeous Mountains and Crystal Clear Water

    The drive up is very rough, most vehicles I saw were Toyotas and Subarus. 4 Wheel drive is recommended, however I took my Ram Promaster 3500 Campervan up to the top where the campground is. The campground is a little higher up than the lake, but the Mountain View’s are worth not having a campsite directly on the water. There is a stream that runs through a few sites tho. Anyway it was beautiful and plenty of space between other sites, but there were people there all weekend long. The weekdays we were basically alone at the campground.

    Humbug Spires Wilderness Study Area

    Secluded campsite adjacent to mini spires

    Road was rocky and rutted by water runoff. The sprinter all wheel drive negotiated the trail easily from the trailhead up. We found an open meadow of sagebrush. Beautiful sunrise. One bar AT&T signal. We camped adjacent to the private property sign.

    Hood Creek Campground

    Views, convenience and nice sites

    About 15 miles of paved roads from Bozeman. Separated sites, most with lake views. Clean vault toilets.

    Hyalite Canyon Dispersed - FS 1046

    Easy Access on Creek

    12 miles from Bozeman. Creekside spots are high demand, but other spots are nice also. Flat for rigs, and very clean vault toilets. Lots of hikes and reservoir is only 4 miles further. Hood Creek Campground 5 miles further had ample spots including lakeside.

    Three Forks KOA Journey

    Very welcoming RV Park.

    We had a lovely overnight at this RV Park in Sept 2025. The park is very handy to all the area has to offer, and the country setting lets you relax and rest peacefully after a long day exploring. The staff were exceptionally welcoming. Our pull-through site was spacious, level, and equipped with reliable full hookups (30/50 amp), shady trees, fire pit, picnic table, and Wi-Fi. The amenities were top-notch: clean restrooms, a well-maintained laundry room, the best setup we have seen thus far for the cost.

    Bozeman Hot Springs Campground & RV

    Oh Wow...

    This was a relatively normal campground, with a decent, but small, level back-in site, full hook ups, and relatively clean bathroom.  BUT, access to the Hot Springs facility next door was next level (and why this campground was substantially more expensive, at least in our experience).  Additionally, there was live music on the night we were there, which was an added bonus.  The facility had swimming pools, hot and cold tubs, a steam room, and my favorite, a properly hot sauna.  The facility caters to local members, so it is very clean and nicely managed.  The cost may prevent a multiple night stay, but for an evening after a few nights of boondocking...why not?

    Hyalite Canyon Dispersed

    Would Not Recommend- POPULAR COLLEGE PARTY SITE

    The road is very rutted but even sedans are able to make the drive in. When you get to the sites, you must park at the top of the hill and lug all your gear down to the creek which is a pain if you are needing to make multiple trips. There are 3 main sites, 2 of which are pretty close together. All was well until a huge group of loud and disrespectful college kids came and partied till 3am. Loud music, yelling and their dogs were off lead so constantly in our site. One of their dogs came and peed on one of our backpacks. It was awful and if we go back, we will be setting up tents and staying in each site if possible, just to avoid that nonsense again. I wouldn't recommend.
