Love the Sound of the River

We followed our RV GPS right to the campground (CG), which is a favorite of ours for a two-night stay. Check-in was quick and easy. We proceeded to Deluxe River site 18 with 30 AMP and water. You can angle the rig in as you want to get set up on the wide pad area. The utilities were in the middle of the gravel pad, and we could park where our 9’ patio could come out to enjoy the gorgeous view of the river. They have free WiFi, but it was not very fast, and we used our Starlink. There are mature trees here, but we got a clear shot north for Starlink. We got 3 bars on Verizon. The water pressure was okay. Talking to our next-door neighbors, who have stayed here over the years, this CG is under new management by a couple who also owned a KOA in Billings. There are already changes, such as getting rid of the cabins and putting in some new FHU sites. There may be plans for new cabins in the future. We also noticed that from staying here in September 2019, the ponds are now state-stocked, and you need a Montana fishing license following regular fishing regulations versus no-license pay for the trout you catch. They also have a military and senior discount, but this wasn't mentioned/given when we made our reservations online. We mentioned it to the lady who checked us in, but she didn't offer to refund us the discount like other CG's have done in the past. There is no dog park, but there’s plenty of area to walk your dog. Someday we are going to plan a longer than two-day stay so we can further explore the area and fly fish the river.

Great staff at a so so facility

The campground is okay. The staff is wonderful. We stayed for just under 2 weeks. We didn’t have sewer hookup, but they had a honey wagon.

The spots on the river were really tight. The river was really beautiful though, so maybe it was worth it. We were on a pond, and had plenty of room.

There’s an IGA in town, and a few good restaurants. An hour drive to Bozeman gets you whatever you need.

Sites are gravel. Lots of wildlife nearby.

Quiet & clean

Tent camped for 1 night. Campground was quiet and had very clean bathrooms/showers. Would definitely stay here again but pay the extra $10 for dry camp as it was pretty muddy

Beautiful sites

Conveniently located about 5 miles off I-90! We stayed one night on our way from the Badlands to Glacier National Park and I wish we would have had more time here. Our site backed up to the Boulder River which was beautiful! Clean campground, friendly staff, and adequate bathroom facilities. (I should include that we made reservations about an hour before we arrived due to our reserved site at Riverside campground in Laurel, Montana being abandoned!)

Nice park

Nice 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.

Awesome staff and clean campground!

We had a good experience here. Unfortunately, the river was very high and rushing strongly due to snow melt in early June, but our overall experience was great. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The bathrooms were very clean, and the hot showers in the clean shower houses were amazing.

Kids love it here

I have 5 kids of all ages. They love it here. Fishing ponds and river too. The husband and wife have worked so hard to make this place fun for everyone. Kids got to feed fish in the pond just stop in and ask for the food. They are kind to kids and pets as well. I spent my time doing this full time and people that run campgrounds don't always have the most respect for dogs or kids. Spent 30 days here. Nice little town as well with kind people.

Off the beaten path

I 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.

What a Good Day!

This is a beautiful place! If you get a spot next to the river they the sound of the water is phenomenal! They also stock the ponds with trout so that for dinner you can eat fish. They also clean the fish for you. The cabins that they have are clean and cozy. The tent camping sites are the best though. The showers and bathrooms are clean and have the best decor! They even have a laundry room for you to wash clothes. Right down the road to Big Timber is a small drug store with the best shakes that brings a perfect end to the day.
