Shelter sleeping, NT summer 2024
Slept by a shelter in the city park. Running water, supposedly you aren’t supposed to drink the water in most parts of east Montana. But the water didn’t taste/ seem bad. One bathroom, non- flushing wooden box style toilet. Horrible bathrooms. Pool nearby is a plus, the pool let me use their flushing toilets. Cheap entry fee to pool aswell. Park fairly close to grocery store.

Great overnight stay
We were on our way to Theodore Roosevelt National Park and needed an overnight.
This is BLM land for dispersed camping.
There is a pretty steep hill down. No problems with pickup camper.
Sites access best suited for vans, pickup campers or small class C. Smal trailer might be able to make it.
This is a beautiful area and was very quiet. There is a highway nearby but almost no traffic.

Great hosts but typical RV park
We spent two nights here. Paid $50 per night. They only accept cash or checks, no credit cards. Place was clean and well kept but like a typical RV park spaces were pretty much right next to each other. They did have full hook ups with a pool, showers and a laundromat for two dollars, each and two dollars each load. A little out of town but road noise was a little excessive. Very nice camp host though.

Unique
Small campground with vault toilets, and drinking water. a mile away from the campground are standalone sites you can drive into and park one vehicle you’re champion if you get site #22.

Super private, great area!
This was an excellent spot for jeeps/off road vehicles. Very private, lots of fun if you have dirt bikes or four wheelers with you to explore. It’s just off the road so we heard cars going by every once in awhile, but for the most part had the area to ourselves. Only bugs were grasshoppers. Pit toilet was clean and unlocked. There was a map of the entire park as well. Probably one of my favorite spots

Easy overnight stop in Eastern MT
Easy overnight stop when traveling MT-200. The owner was very accommodating and welcoming. We pulled in after 9:30PM and the owner met us to show us our site and get us checked in. Sites were level, easy to pull through and setup quickly, however were close together. Onsite laundry was convenient.

Free camping
Its a free BLM campground With a camp host on location. Nice scenic location by the river side with boat access.
Bob M.RangerMakoshika State Park Campground
Awesome Place
Amazing views all around, definitely worth the stop. Scenic drives & hikes. Absolutely loved this area.
Dry camping with potable water. You might get some generator noise, but during our 3 night stay only 1 camper violated the 8pm-8am quiet rule.
Groceries & gas a couple miles away. Like others noted, the road coming in is real rough, take it slow.
Marilyn K.GuideHorse Creek RV and Trailer Park
Conveniently located off Route 200
Owner/Manager is welcoming and follows thru with calls and texts.
Obvious the campground area is being upgraded.
Level Gravel pads. WiFi. There is one Shower and one restroom and we found them clean. New electrical service, 20/30/50 and water. Hot, free shower Sites are close together.- JJeff K.Scout

Gravel parking lot
Stayed on a Friday night. A few big toy hauler RV's were there and ran their generators late into the night. Some groups were ripping around on their OHV's late into the night (past midnight) which was less than desirable. Pretty area, but know what you might be in for.

Easy access, private
Campsites in the main campground were lovely! They had a nice amount of privacy. Verizon service but only 2 bars, only good enough to send texts.

Miles City KOA
Nice KOA
This review is from the perspective of an overnight or short-term stay versus a destination location. We ensured we obeyed the campground’s(CG) instructional email stating to take Exit 135 and no others as there’s a low bridge through town from the other exits. We then followed the instructions to this quaint little KOA CG. The people running the CG were super friendly, and check-in was quick and easy. We were led to pull through site 82 with FHUs. The utilities were placed in the middle of the site to include two sewer connections, which was nice as our new Brinkley Toy Hauler has two sewer connections. The sites have newer picnic tables and fire pits. The WiFi speed here was okay, and we got enough of a northern shot through the mature trees to have usable Starlink. We got 4 bars on Verizon. The water pressure was also good. They have a spacious laundry with a nice book swap library. The office has a small gift shop with grocery items, including selling local steaks, as this is where the USDA’s Fort Keogh Livestock and Range Research Laboratory is located. They have a medium-sized fenced-in dog run, but there is plenty of room to walk your dog, especially out of the west side of the CG near the Yellowstone River. We enjoyed our overnight stay here.

Paleontology Abound at Makosika State Park in
This is on of the coolest state parks this side of the Cenozoic Period! They found dinosaur fossils in this park. and you never know you just might find some too! Our campsites butted right up to a cool mountain and the peaks are small enough for you to scamper around on. PLUS the have the coolest frisbee golf course this side of the jurassic Period with embedded holes spread over the ancient cretaceous landscape! How cool is that.
Astronomy wise this is a Bortle Class 4 site SQM: 21.62 mag./arc sec2. I did not get to observe due to smoke and poor weather.
All sites are primitive but there is fresh water in each of the two campgrounds and vault toilets are nearby. Trash pickup id also available. There is no dump-station but one is close by at: Glendive Landfill City government office 801 E Brennan St. (406) 377-9839
Hiking at the park contains easy and tough trails but each one is sure to delight with wonder and discovery on each one.

Miles City KOA
Miles City KOA is good spot
Stayed at KOA in Miles City MT on way back from Yellowstone National Park August 2023. This place is clean, wife thought they had the cleanest and best showers of all the places we stayed for two weeks. I agree. Easy pull through and you are led to your spot. The people help you line up with hook ups. Quite at night, great pool.

Phenomenal night
Brother and I crashed here late so we drove in in the dark. We were delighted in the morning to find a beautiful park and a super lucky campsite with a bathroom and some trees for hammocking and two tent pads! Would love to stay here again. The out of state fee is $28/night
Tee C.LegendShort Pine OHV Area
A stop, not a campsite
It’s a really pretty area! Very quiet. Great if you’re offroading. Pit toilet. No water, no other amenities. Only 7-8 miles from Glendive and 94! Weird little bugs that pack a bite for their size. And some flies.

Great stop while passing through
We are heading home from the PNW and found this stop on the Dyrt app! The host was super helpful and friendly! Bathrooms were clean and spots are wide! Our T-Mobile Wi-Fi was pulling 200 Mb/s! So that was a plus
Nadiya S.TravelerMiles City KOA
Great spot
Easily accessible. Tent camping was great, and no one was around us. Restrooms are great. Very clean overall and nice easy to check in if you come late.

This really isn't a campground
This is a spot that provides fishing access not really a campground. I believe you could stay here but there are no real designated spots, it is right next to the road, no trees, nothing really to do. I'm sure if you needed a spot to stop for the night, it would do but that's about it.

Hidden gem.
Spent a night here while on a road trip. Beautiful landscape and clean, quiet campgrounds. Great place to explore!

Gorgeous park!
The scenery here is incredible! Beautiful views from the campground. Also there is a really awesome disc golf course. I don’t play, but I want to play here!
kelly N.RangerMiles City KOA
Very nice little KOA
This is a very nice KOA, well maintained and clean with a cute store, playground, dog area, pool and pavilion area. Walking distance to downtown and to the Yellowstone river. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Shaded level sites. Pay attention to the directions given to get into the campground as there is an 11’ clearance bridge in town.

Quiet RV park. The new owner is doing a lot of work leveling sites and putting in new infrastructure. Has full hook ups, a laundromat, and a shower. Close to a nice convenient store and restaurants. Small creek had geese, a heron, and carp.
