"This was my first time camping in Montana. It was breathtaking for me. The lake was so peaceful and clear. The trail around the lake is a nice walk to see all the different views around it."
"Crystal Lake is a nice area. To get there it's a mix of about 20 miles of gravel and 1 lane paved roads. The gravel roads are well maintained."
"We had electric and water at our site, and we were just a short walk to an inflatable trampoline, a heated pool, the camp store, showers, restrooms, and laundry facilities."
"Grear trees, shade, tables, grass, pet area, nice staff. Close to hwy but we will return"
"Clean bathrooms and plenty of spots to park your car and camp, some with picnic tables even. There is trash and plastic/can recycling. Flush toilets and running water."
"This is a clean well kept basic campground right off the highway. The Dyrt description is a little confusing, no dump station, water only. Nevertheless we were happy to find it as a quick night stop."
"Very nice campground about 6 miles out of Big Timber Montana."
"There are trains close by but that didn't bother too much. If you stay with kids there are spots where the river current is quite strong close to shore."
"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. "
"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."
GuideI love this place so much. This was my first time camping in Montana. It was breathtaking for me. The lake was so peaceful and clear. The trail around the lake is a nice walk to see all the different views around it. The meadows were full of wildflowers in the summer. The campground is a small loop and spaced out, the lake trail also had a couple of backcountry spots to set up. There’s also a few more trails in the area that were very pretty!!
LegendThe Lewistown Kiwanis provide a rest area and free campground to travels on the west end of town next to the airport. This camping area has no fee(they will take your donation to help with upkeep of the site), but does have restrooms with running water, several frost-frees are in the camping area to provide water, and trash cans are found at the restrooms. The camping area does not have numbered sites, but there are 12 concrete picnic tables, 6 of those are covered. No campfires at this campground. Their is plenty of room for camping even if all the tables are taken. Camping is limited to 10 nights. The airport is small so you will have very little aircraft noise, most noise will be from State Hwy 200/U.S. Hwy 87, but since the speed limit is 45mph noise from cars and trucks will be slight.
ScoutThis place is great and it runs off of donations, so make sure to drop some cash into their donation box if you can. Clean bathrooms and plenty of spots to park your car and camp, some with picnic tables even. There is trash and plastic/can recycling. Flush toilets and running water. There’s a shower at the civic center in town for $2, or one in Grass Lands for $5 just 30 min down the road.
TravelerThis was our families first stay at a KOA. We really enjoyed our time. We tent camped. We had electric and water at our site, and we were just a short walk to an inflatable trampoline, a heated pool, the camp store, showers, restrooms, and laundry facilities. The staff were very helpful with anything we needed. Great campground to stay at!

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.
TravelerOk like the last reviewer we could not find a site in and around the Bozeman area and were headed east anyway so we call this site and finally was able to get a spot. It was really just a place to sleep for the night for us - not much to see unless you head over to the river. Sort of noisy so close to the highway so I’d ask for a back-in spot because those are somewhat more secluded and off the road. Clean bathrooms and cute shop in the office.
RangerRough 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.
GuideThis is a clean well kept basic campground right off the highway. The Dyrt description is a little confusing, no dump station, water only. Nevertheless we were happy to find it as a quick night stop. Road noise minimal, a few airplanes took off from the airport while we were there, but were not too intrusive. Bathrooms clean and well functioning, plenty of spaces without being crowded. Donations only.
