This cabin offers very rustic accommodations with limited amenities, so guests should beprepared to bring most of their own supplies and gear to make their stay an enjoyable experience.

Trails in the area may cross private property,so guests MUST stay on the trail. Winter recreation includes snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

Welcome to our campground! We have a variety of options that should suit just about anyone. We are near Yellowstone National Park as well as Bozeman, MT which offers all types of recreational opportunities e.g. hiking, fishing, climbing, skiing, cycling and running trails.
VanGoBoon is the perfect "Pull-in for the Night" as well as week-long stays! Most of our sites are SELF-CONTAINED. We have 2 sites that have electric and water hookups. (20,30,50amp)
On site we have horseshoes, frisbee golf, and corn toss. We mostly offer dry campsites for overnight stays for vans. Most sites are on concrete slabs so they are level and the property has grass areas with trees as well.
FYI: Great site if you like trains! An important part of Montana’s commerce is transportation by rail so there will be some highway and train noise.
Private spots between trees but near freeway for easy access. Our 2 horses have been a favorite with young campers along with the open yet private campsites! We look forward to welcoming you!
Showers are for cabin rentals only.

Stayed 8-1-24
Good: KOA like expected, but great view.
Bad: Mile long dirt road to get to entrance.
Would I stay again: ?, I might try West entrance next time.
This place seems to be nicer than nearby campsites, but stinky toilets with no toilet paper, outdoor shower with cold water for $54 for a small camper was quite disappointing. Trains and highway noises are extremely loud as others mentioned
Other than BNSF it’s a real cool stop over spot for a day or two
The area is stunning, but we could not get to the campground. Our campervan felt like it was going to tip over because of the ruts. Will try again in a car someday
Was able to get a spot right on the water late on a Saturday night. Quiet, fire rings tables and restrooms. Not much to complain about.
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.
Beautiful facilities and friendly helpful staff. Lots of trees, minimal road noise
Horrible location, lots of foot and vehicle traffic, very small camping spaces. Cars go as fast as they want, I was right on the main road AND next to the walking path. Yeah it sucked . Never again.
The campground was nice, typical KOA experience, which is good. Downside is spots are close together and LOTS of freeway noise
We stayed her for 1 night on a road trip in one of the tent sites and it was perfect. There were several options to put our tent on our site including an area covered by trees and secluded from the rest of the park. It was right on the Yellowstone River. The staff was VERY friendly!
Campsite 1 was probably not the best choice but we loved the view… so did our wild life friends
For sure there is 1 grizzly that’s pretty big. He checked out our truck tent.
Mountain Goats will come in your camp and they will do what goats do and want to check you out. They are not scared
The restrooms are shutdown in the camp but the lake access restroom down the hill does work
1 bear box for the whole camp ground so be prepared to store food in car or tree
Decent vault toilets and several of them. For the price the lack of water is not great but overall was worth it. One way road so keep that in mind if you have a large trailer.
We had a rooftop tent that worked well but tent users may find some sites a little close and overgrown
Site 18 I would not use if you have a tent. 17 backs into your site some and river access is limited between both sites
Clean and flat pull up spots. If you’re ok with road noise and don’t want the “window knock” on your Campervan then this is a option for the night.
We came in late and it was already dark. That may have contributed to the confusion in where to go when we first got there, but once we were there it was fine. Not a lot of privacy between spots but to pull in, set up camp and leave the next day it was worth it.
We LOVED visiting with the horses and they were very friendly and did not even mind when our dogs barked at them.
Biggest negative is that you can hear all the highway noise and trucks like to jake-break in this area. On the other side of the highway there were railroad tracks. The train blew its horn through this area ‘frequently and when it stopped you could hear all the train cars smashing together. This woke me up a couple times throughout the night but otherwise fine.
There is a pit toilet, with hand sanitizer.
We camped in a tent with our 2 dogs and young toddler.
This was of first destination in our new vintage camper and it did not disappoint! We were lucky to find a reservation opening last minute over the 4th of July holiday weekend. Our site was right on the water to enjoy paddle boarding on the wake free lake. The water was stunning but don’t let the warm summer temps fool you, this water is ice cold as it is filled from snow melt. Curvy switchbacks to get up the mountain, but fully paved. Site 09 had a flat spot for the camper but included steps going down to picnic table and fire ring (tent pad was down by the fire). The sites and bathrooms were very clean. Highly recommend if you want water and mountain views and don’t need a full hookup.
I 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.
The KOA is tucked away from the main road. Is has beautiful views of the mountains and is very quiet. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful! We happened to have a trailer hitch problem and the amazing staff were quick to help and ensure we were taken care of. The bathrooms and showers were clean. We loved the dog friendly fenced in area.
Woke up in the mountains at this campsite. Stayed here for the second year in a row because we loved it so much the first time. Great place to go stargazing. We stopped for coffee and lunch in Bozeman. They have the cutest bookstore that has "Blind date with a book" where books are covered in brown wrapping paper and you pick a book based on the staff's small hints about the story.
Called in last minute for a 1 night stay because my 1st option didn’t pan out. When they were escorting me to the campsite, they graciously upgraded me to a gravel pull through because it had been raining. I offered to pay extra but they said no worries. Bathrooms and shower house were very clean and private which was nice. Would highly recommend, especially with the Lewis and Clark caverns so close!
My site was very secluded, peaceful, and beautiful! There were very few other campers (it was a Wednesday), so it was very quiet. The hostess was very helpful and informative. My stay was perfect! There are bear boxes at every site.
The staff were very friendly and as helpful as possible. The restrooms and showers were nice and clean. Small store, nice pavilion area and a huge dog area. I did not see a playground area. The sites are very small and very crowded. A small fire ring and picnic table at each site however to sit on our picnic table one of us would have to sit directly beside our neighbors sewer dump. At our site two lengths of sewer hose wouldn’t reach from our tank to the sewer dump, so even though we paid for full hookups we were only able to utilize water and electric. The roads in the park are also very tight and in my opinion not very big rig friendly.
The hosts were very friendly and passionate about the up keep of their land. They were very flexible with check in and check out times and are pet friendly. Would definitely consider staying here again next time we visit the Bozeman area.
Ended up here on a winter site that had electric but no water or bathroom facilities (I knew this). Site was plowed and I had plenty of room for my pickup with GFC camper to fit. Site was easy to find and despite all the snow was plowed for me. There are only two site that are available before April 1 so this was a convenient place to stay right near Bozeman for a night. Cost about $50. Could have stayed in a Walmart, but prefer to only put the rooftop tent up in proper campsites so this worked out well for me.
Pretty straight forward KOA nothing near by we ended up moving but would stay again
Convenient and clean fun campground
The best campsite I have ever stayed at! Beautiful views, heated and clean bathrooms with hot water and showers. Charging stations in bathrooms and lounge area. Laundry room with cozy waiting space (charging stations there also). Louise and her husband are icons and made us feel so welcome and safe. Thank you KOA, can't wait to stay again!
Great location to explore big sky and Bozeman. Road not great to the dispersed camping. Will need 4x4 or awd
