Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Nye, MT

604 Reviews

Castle Rock Fishing Access Site provides riverside tent and RV camping with dog-friendly sites along the Stillwater River. Campsites are generously spaced with privacy between sites, featuring fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets. Each site includes bear boxes for secure food storage, essential when camping with pets in this wilderness area. Woodbine Campground offers paved camping sites with water hookups and accommodates both tents and RVs, though driveways can be unlevel despite the paving. Visitors use The Dyrt to find real feedback on camping near Nye, Montana. Buffalo Jump Camp is a dispersed camping option with toilet facilities where dogs are welcome, and East Boulder Campground provides free camping with dogs along a river with only two designated sites, each equipped with picnic tables and fire rings.

The Boulder River provides excellent fishing opportunities at several pet-friendly campgrounds, with some sites positioned directly alongside the water. Campers should keep pets leashed and supervised as wildlife is abundant in the area, with many deer sightings reported at East Boulder Campground. The Chippy Park sites offer significant privacy with trees separating each campsite so neighbors are hardly noticeable. Vault toilets at most locations are generally well-maintained, though summer flies can be problematic in some areas. For longer stays, Spring Creek Campground & Trout Ranch offers laundry facilities along with full hookups for RVs. The Natural Bridge trailhead is located across from East Boulder Campground, providing a nice 6-mile hiking opportunity accessible with leashed dogs. Most campgrounds in the area require campers to pack out all trash, as garbage service is limited.

    Big Timber-Greycliff KOA

    Small KOA

    Typical KOA with those amenities. Sites are close together as usual at a KOA. Pads are gravel and super narrow. Lots of kids having a blast at the pool, riding their bikes and playing in the creek that borders the campground. Dog park is adequate though small. Staff is nice and responsive. We did not have a picnic table at our site and they quickly brought one when I asked. They said people were stealing them as well as the fire rings. A bit odd that someone would steal a wooden and metal frame picnic table? We gave our fire ring to the family next to us as we weren’t going to use it and the office told them they didn’t have any extra.

    Giving 3 stars due to the proximity of the highway (you can definitely hear the traffic) and train tracks (no train overnight though) as well as the odd picnic table issue and the narrowness of the pads. But if you have children they will most likely love this place.

    Livingston/Paradise Valley KOA Holiday

    Great location for the parks.

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

    Spring Creek Campground & Trout Ranch

    Love the Sound of the River

    We followed our RV GPS right to the campground (CG), which is a favorite of ours for a two-night stay. Check-in was quick and easy. We proceeded to Deluxe River site 18 with 30 AMP and water. You can angle the rig in as you want to get set up on the wide pad area. The utilities were in the middle of the gravel pad, and we could park where our 9’ patio could come out to enjoy the gorgeous view of the river. They have free WiFi, but it was not very fast, and we used our Starlink. There are mature trees here, but we got a clear shot north for Starlink. We got 3 bars on Verizon. The water pressure was okay. Talking to our next-door neighbors, who have stayed here over the years, this CG is under new management by a couple who also owned a KOA in Billings. There are already changes, such as getting rid of the cabins and putting in some new FHU sites. There may be plans for new cabins in the future. We also noticed that from staying here in September 2019, the ponds are now state-stocked, and you need a Montana fishing license following regular fishing regulations versus no-license pay for the trout you catch. They also have a military and senior discount, but this wasn't mentioned/given when we made our reservations online. We mentioned it to the lady who checked us in, but she didn't offer to refund us the discount like other CG's have done in the past. There is no dog park, but there’s plenty of area to walk your dog. Someday we are going to plan a longer than two-day stay so we can further explore the area and fly fish the river.

    Yellowstone Edge RV Park

    Worth it for the view

    Right on the edge of the Yellowstone River, about 90 minutes north of Yellowstone NP. This is an RV Park, so no tents are allowed. The view of the river and the mountains is fantastic. And, it’s close to dining in Livingston if you want that. Laundry facilities and a larger than average store. Pet friendly. The sites are small. But, I would definitely go back.

    Spring Creek Campground & Trout Ranch

    Kids love it here

    I have 5 kids of all ages. They love it here. Fishing ponds and river too. The husband and wife have worked so hard to make this place fun for everyone. Kids got to feed fish in the pond just stop in and ask for the food. They are kind to kids and pets as well. I spent my time doing this full time and people that run campgrounds don't always have the most respect for dogs or kids. Spent 30 days here. Nice little town as well with kind people.

    Itch-Kep-Pe Park

    Hidden gem in Columbus Wyoming

    Clean quiet at night. Family and pet friendly. Large campsites each with a picnic table and fire pit. Public toilets non-threaded water spigot near the entrance. Water quality is great. 64 outlets on four different light posts near communal bathroom and shelter area. With a long enough extension cord you might be able to get to your campsite but I doubt it. Close to the river. I feel safe here. I got here on August 30th and stay till September 3rd that's why I chose month of September.

    Woodbine Campground

    Great camping spot

    This was our first camping trip up to Woodbine and we loved the area and our site. When they say the site is 30 ft max for RV's they mean it! That's about the size of mine(including the tongue) and I ended up parking it a little sideways to fit better. Plenty of room to park the truck beside the trailer though. Campsites were spaced out so you weren't right on top of each other. Short walk to the falls, places to run on your ATV or SxS and the river provides a nice opportunity to raft down. I was a little iffy as we were driving past the mine in Nye but you don't even know its there once you get back into the campground. Nye, which is just a few miles away has a gas station and a small convenient store in the case you forgot or run out of something. For how small the store is they have a lot of things in there you wouldn't expect to find. Woodbine is beautiful and one of the top places on our list that we've camped at so far in Montana. We will definitely be going back again!
