We hope you will find Old West RV Park to be your home whether for overnight travel or for an extended stay.
The park is conveniently located off of I-90 at mile marker 392. We are 55 miles west from Billings, 80 miles east of Bozeman and 120 miles away from Yellowstone. We are a convenient stop wherever your travels take you.
The Beartooth Highway is nearby and takes you through the Absaroka and Beartooth Mountains complete with glacial lakes and lush forests.
Catch up with friends and family back home with our convenient Post Office next door. The Sure Stop gas station/convenience store is right across the street to pick up some snacks and supplies or just for a quick re-fuel in your travels. And yes, they do have diesel.
Travel back in time down our main street where you can see the original store fronts and houses from a time long gone by. And stop by the Waterhole Saloon for some good drinks, food and friendly people.
Reed Point has the annual Running of the Sheep on Labor Day weekend! Hundreds of Montana sheep run down main street complete with a Parade and Street Fair.
We are close to the Yellowstone River and fishing access. And this is just a personal bias, but the stars at night are so much more beautiful in Montana.
Take a step back in time as you stay with us at the Old West RV park.

Guide10 spots full hook up

This 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.
Ranger
Great small town RV park. $20.00 per night with electric. No sewer or dump station. Water on site but not to RV pads. Level, asphalt pads are all pull-through and long enough for my truck and 32 foot 5th wheel. 50/30 amp hook ups. Park is attached to a rodeo grounds so you might check availability on the weekends. We were only going to stay one night but the park is so nice that we stayed another two nights.
Scout
The RV park is very well kept. The camp host was friendly and helpful providing helpful information on weather and trails😁👍
ScoutI pulled off I-90 after a long (windy) trip to get had in Big Timber, MT. We saw a sign for Spring Creek and wanted to check if see they had any spots for the night. After driving through town and a little bit of Deliverance Country, we turned in the RV Park and Trout Ranch. Despite being busy with rodeos and other events, Gina (one of the camp hosts) found my little family a spot. They are very friendly and accommodating here at Spring Creek. Would highly recommend.

For what you pay, this is not a bad site. The tent lawn is incredibly well shaded, with many small trees covering almost every inch in shade. This alone makes this site the best rv tent site I've ever stayed at. There is also a comunal propane grill for meals in you provide the propane. Now the cons. You are adjacent to the interstate, so you have a lot of noise. Bathroom facilities are okay, not stellar, just okay. The urinal was out of order during my stay, and the showers could use more pressure. Walls also need cleaned. The bugs were bad, but there is nothing the park can do to fix that.
ScoutElectric only site is $25, full hookup is $45/$50. Highway noise, but will probably abate at night.
ScoutNice and friendly management. Easy access from Hwy. both back in and drive through sites. Full hookups.
LegendNice park. Sites are okay. Ours was one of the better ones. Spacious and level gravel pad with large grassy area on patio side. Our site was 50 amp full hookups. Many weren’t. Couple of small fishing ponds. Campground is situated on Boulder River. Office staff was friendly. Laundry facility was clean but dated. (Harvest gold dryers from the 70’s dated). Great proximity to downtown big timber, MT. One grocery store (IGA). 30 min from Livingston.
TravelerVery clean RV/tent campground just outside of Billings with full hookups and a lovely area for tent camping. Laundry facilities, showers. We have stayed here a few times while visiting our daughter and the owners have been very kind to us. There is noise from the interstate, train, cows, etc but if you travel you should be used to that. Great stop on the way to Yellowstone, Red Lodge or another fun places nearby.
Ranger
Great place for an overnight or 7! 3 miles off I-90 with spots for rvs, tents and a big field to pull into. Fire pits and toilet
Traveler
Full hookups available. Basically, downtown in a population 96 town of 4 blocks. Showers laundry available. Biggest attraction for us was a very nice and friendly little bar in easy walking distance. If you have a quarter, you can hamme r it in the wall at the bar and sign your name.
TravelerFree!! River view, close to Big Timber. There are only about 3 true RV spots and 5 tent spots with fire rings, but there is a neighboring field that one could also camp in. Minimal shade. There are also day use people using the boat launch.

7/13/-7/14/2023:
We stayed 1-night. It is a quiet park with a lot of space where the RV camp sites are not identified. Instead, there are open grass spaces between trees to park even the largest of RV’s. We had no trouble finding adequate space for our 34’ fifth-wheel trailer. There is a water faucet near the restroom and another at the far end of the campground. There are two restrooms but one was closed with an outhouse blocking its entrance. The other was pretty dirty, had a flush toilet but no door on the stall, and although there is running water a sign above the sink states“NON POTABLE WATER NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION”. There is a large dumpster near the restrooms and I only saw one stone fire pit in the park although there may be others. There is a sign warning of the potential of falling branches. The campsite is free, but there is a sign asking for donations, which we did.
Although the restroom was pretty sketchy (I wouldn’t use it) it was otherwise a nice little park and we would stay there again. Just FYI, the name of the campsite shown in searches come up with a few variations of Cow Belles Corral: Compendium and The Dyrt show the name with Belles, Google with Bells, the Musselshell County website as both Belles and Bells, and sign entering the campground as Cowbelles Corral campground. Verizon wireless had 5G: 4-bars, 4G: 4-bars and 4G throughput measured 22.6Mbps down and 12.7Mbps up.

I 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!!
GuideA very nice small town town campground east of Montana’s front range. Several level pull-through RV sites with electricity. Dumpster and water hydrant near by in the campground. Large new community playground adjacent to the RV sites. Sparsely used in October/November. 14 day limit. We look forward to staying here again.
TravelerCity park and rodeo arena, first come, first served. This is a great over-nighter spot. We did not unhitch, almost totally level. Arrived at 5:30pm. Plenty of spaces. A few more RVs came in around 6:30pm. Still a few spots available, both electrical and primitive. Flush toilets on-site. Worth the $20!
GuideIt was 94 degrees when we pulled into town and electric for AC is absolutely required. For $20 we have a nice level, gravel site with 30/50 amp service. No hookups for water or sewer but that isn't necessary for an overnight stay. Each campsite has a picnic table. We even had a site with a tree that gave a little shade.
This is one of the nicest small town parks I have ever experienced. The play area for children is five star. Rodeo grounds, volleyball net, soccer field are just a short walk from the campsites. The bathrooms are clean and have flushing toilets. Showers are not available.
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!

ED McGivern Memorial Park Campground sits on the west shore of the East Fork Reservoir. This is a small nice 10 site campground right on the reservoir. The campground is located just past the day use area on a loop at the end of the road. The 10 sites are nicely spread apart giving campers plenty of room to spread out their tents. Each site has a picnic table, metal fire ring and BBQ grill. Two vault toilers serve the area, one in the day use area and one at the south end of the campground. Water is available at a faucet near the campground vault toilet. Easy access to the reservoir all along the campground for those wishing to fish. A boat launch can be found a the beginning of the day use area. This is a small reservoir and their entire reservoir is a no wake area. Camping is$5 for tents,$10 for trailers/campers/motorhomes. Stay is limited to 14 nights. A nice quiet location to camp, but only a short 15-20 minute drive to Lewistown for any supplies you might need.
Guide
This was a nice campground well off a main paved road. About 2 miles of dirt and 2 miles of pavement. The campground has limited spots but they were clean and wide enough to fit my 28ft camper and long box truck (unhooked and parked next to the camper). There was a toilet onsite and though i didn't use it it looked clean as well. Enough space to get in and out of the campground with no issues and I did see a truck pulling doubles (camper and a flatbed trailer) pulling out one day without any issues. It is all dry camping and does not have any hookups. There are a lot of back roads to get lost on an a few small towns and lakes within close driving distance. All in all, its a great campground that I would stay at again.
LegendThis is a large park for a small town. The campground mostly caters to the RV set with 20 pull through sites with hook ups. Their are two tent camping sites with tables and fire pits, but room for more if you don't want a table and fire ring. Tent camping is just $12. Two other possible campsite at the opposite side of the park. Very nice new and large playground area plus picnic shelter. Site has a dumpster just for campers and a small log cabin has firewood available. Campground and park are right along the river so be sure to bring that fishing pole. Water is available.
GuideUsually we stay at KOAs for stopover convenience, but being tired of driving we decided to stick around for an extra night. For a KOA, this was a really decent spot. The sites were bigger than most other KOAs, yet still boasted the great amenities. There was a nice playground, pool, enormous jumping pillow (I had never seen one before - this was definitely a treat, even for adults!) and a small dog run area. Great WIFI and AT&T coverage. We would definitely stay here again on our way through town.
Be sure to stop by at Prairie Dog Town State Park (walkable distance from campground). It’s simple but a cute place to watch prairie dogs and check out the local flora.
GuidePretty straight forward KOA nothing near by we ended up moving but would stay again
ScoutNicely maintained KOA with friendly staff. Lots of shade. New management has renovated the lodge. AT&T service was excellent.
GuideThe campground was nice, typical KOA experience, which is good. Downside is spots are close together and LOTS of freeway noise
