A family-run operation sitting at the entrance to the Beartooth Scenic Byway, Perry's RV and Campgrounds runs from mid-May through October 1 and accepts reservations, though payment is cash only. Sites range from tent spots along Rock Creek to RV hookups with electric and water, plus small cabins for campers who want shelter without a full setup. The campground sits just outside Red Lodge, making it a workable base for day trips up the byway or into town for food and supplies.
The lower sites along Rock Creek are the draw for tent campers. They sit close together under tree cover, and the creek runs heavy enough that reviewers consistently mention it as a sleep aid. Sites higher up, near the road, are more open and exposed. Mosquitoes are a documented issue in the area, so repellent and site preparation matter. Wildlife is also a real consideration here, as at least one bear incident has been reported at the campground, and campers should take standard food storage precautions seriously.
Showers and bathrooms receive consistent praise across reviews. "The shower houses were so clean with plenty of hot water," noted Kim B. The facility also includes a dump station, WiFi, and drinking water. Pets are allowed. Nearby, Palisades Campground in Custer Gallatin National Forest provides a public-land alternative for campers who want more dispersed options in the area. Perry's tends to work best for RV travelers with hookup needs, road-trippers staging a Beartooth run, and tent campers who want creek-side access with full shower facilities on hand.
