Nice campground with clean bathrooms. Nice shady sites on rock creek but close together , also more open sites up higher near road.
ScoutIn short the campground had a bear owners knew about, but didn’t inform the people booking. 3 year old child gets attacked & all campers immediately evacuated. Campground doesn’t reimburse the patrons as promised. Greedy low life’s.
Scout
This camground was fairly quiet. Close to town. Only issue with this campground is how they have sites marked. Took a little bit to figure out the site markers for tent camping. They have little concrete circles on the ground with numbers. After we figured that out it was easy to get set up and paid.
Traveler
Other than BNSF it’s a real cool stop over spot for a day or two
Traveler
Very nice ladies at the office/store. Little creek runs alone one side, tall pine trees…just a nice feel to the campground. The showers had plenty of hot water and great water pressure. It was nice that they have a little off leash enclosed dog run. Just right for our 1 year old puppy. Saw kids enjoying the huge bouncy “platform”. We have this on the list to come back if we journey this way again.
GuideThe campground was nice, typical KOA experience, which is good. Downside is spots are close together and LOTS of freeway noise
ScoutThe host was super accommodating. It was raining and she recommended the “cabin” so we were sheltered. The cabin had two cots in it. So used our sleeping bag and pads. Showers were hot. Cleaning drinking water. Portapotty by the “cabin”. Short drive into the town, which is worth a visit! Very cute.
RangerI think the campground is beautiful. Completely under the trees firings picnic tables 10 spots some you could camp and some which are private very nice.
GuideWe showed up for our overnight stay on our way out west and the campground appeared abandoned. We received an email confirmation several days before our arrival stating that we must check in on arrival but there was no place to do so. A different camper was in the site we had reserved and we tried all phone number we could find and no one answered at 5:02pm. We sent an email to the campground immediately and are waiting for a response. Thankfully, we found a different campground 70 miles away with availability.
Traveler
This campground was an amazing place for a nice getaway. Plenty of sites, easy access, and lots of beautiful views. We saw some turkeys, an elk, and a moose on our drive in!
GuidePretty straight forward KOA nothing near by we ended up moving but would stay again
Ranger
Rough gravel road to get to the spots & there are only 5 of them . 2 are on the river & looked pretty decent with some shade. The other 2 sit back further from the river but are a quick walk over to the waters edge . These spots looked shady too & tucked away. The only other spot is right as you pull into the area & doesn’t really even look like a spot . It was the only 1 open & we had to get out to double check that it was even a spot at all. Unfortunately it was absolutely filthy with trash & covered in dog feces . I get that it’s a free area but we’ve used a lot of free dispersed camping & fishing access spots over the past 2 weeks & they were all treated with the utmost respect. I’m sad that this place looked like it it. Not cool. We hightailed it outta there & stayed in the Walmart parking lot since nothing was available nearby.
LegendWe LOVED it here. This is primitive. Not water or hook ups or trash but there is a pit toilet. Right by a beautiful stretch of the river, perfect for spending the day lounging in the water, swimming, fishing etc. There are prob 5 sites here and it was BUSY mid week in August when we were here. Lots of folks fishing/here for the day and all sites full for overnight. Some sites have picnic tables and all have rock fire rings. Really, so lovely and relaxing. Would def stay again and again if we are in the are. Best of all…it’s free!! Pack in/pack out. Be respectful of others. Keep your dogs on a leash and pick up after your self. Keep this place as lovely as we found it!!
GuideMe and my family really enjoyed staying here. The manager and front desk person were really friendly.
ScoutThis campground is very good. The pool is great and small. The campsites are great the grill was so close to our trailer. Our dogs loved it. It's a great campground you have to go
TravelerThis park was closed but it is now open. We are here in a motorhome. There mat have been water and electic hookips previously, but I believe that all sites are dry camping. There are several very long pull throughs. Park is nice and green at this time of year. They have obviously been improving the grounds. No picnic tables but there are fire pits. Park is on the river. There is a boat ramp. Scenery is marred a bit by an oil refinery nearby but overall it is very nice. We are in site #PT2 at $20 per night.
Scoutcheap to rent a spot
ScoutNicely maintained KOA with friendly staff. Lots of shade. New management has renovated the lodge. AT&T service was excellent.
TravelerStayed during a cross country trip. Awesome location, 10 minutes from the expressway and on the river. About a half dozen sites with a pit toilet that was stocked and clean. My site was perfect for a tent, my dog and I enjoyed a peaceful night. Will certainly stay here again when traveling through the area.
Guide
Stayed here over Labor Day weekend so it was FULL. But (most) of the spots are large and spacious so it doesn’t feel crowded. There are snakes by the river (lots of rocks) and no cell service for MILES in any direction. Quiet, nice fishing access, nice spot for rock hounding too. “Boat ramp” is unusable IMO tho.
LegendLovely little spot! Showed up around 5pm Friday and there was only 1 other camper. Had a third join by the end of the night but was super quiet the entire time. Beautiful scenery and river running through. Saw several deer and heard a few others mention seeing a grizzly every once in a while so keep items secured! Definitely would stay again. Vault toilet was clean and well stocked. 6 sites with rock fire rings. A couple sites had picnic tables too!
ScoutThis campground was right off the interstate and close to the tracks. We went to go park and our site was occupied. They did accommodate us in an overflow spot near long term. They have a bounce pad for the kiddos, must have measured 20ft x 50ft.
GuideVery clean and management was friendly and accommodating
Ranger
Lots of campsites most in the woods with only a few next to the creek between the two lakes. I got there on Saturday at 3 pm and there were only 2 spots open. With the final gone within 30 minutes. Bathroom are a little far from the sites and don’t smell great but most of the sites have campers or RVs with many people spending the night to hike up to mystic or kayak in emerald lake.
ScoutRoad is just terrible. If you want to break your RV and drive 10 miles per hour for 15 miles- go for it. Keep in mind that you are uphill and you don’t have access to the lake. Only 3 spots have “view”. It’s forbidden to swim, fish or do anything, but boat launching. Horrible flies that were bitting our dogs like crazy.
Guide
We stayed here for 2 nights in July. It was a great campground. Within walking distance to the lake, which made it great to go paddle boarding. There is also a store up the road about 1/2 a mile. This is a really beautiful area and a well maintained campground. Bring bug repellent, lots of bugs.
TravelerVery 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.
