SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Sitting just east of campgrounds near Bozeman, VangoBoon is a privately managed campground with a mix of open and forested terrain that draws campers looking for a drive-in stop close to town. Sites are flat and pull-through friendly, and the property accommodates big rigs alongside tent setups. Horses on the property are a notable feature. Reviewers describe the owners as attentive to upkeep and flexible with check-in and check-out times.

Noise is the most consistent trade-off here. Highway traffic runs along one side, and railroad tracks on the other side mean train horns and the sound of cars coupling can interrupt sleep. Sites have limited separation between them, so privacy is minimal. That said, Erik B. sums up the practical appeal well: "Clean and flat pull up spots." Cell service is available, alcohol is permitted, and pets are welcome.

Amenities vary by season. Winter sites include electric hookups but no running water or bathroom facilities. Summer visitors have access to a pit toilet with hand sanitizer and an outdoor shower, though at least one reviewer noted the shower runs cold. Rates range from $25 to $195 per night depending on site type and season. Reservations are available.

Campers wanting more amenity-focused alternatives can compare options at Bear Canyon Campground just southeast, or Bozeman Trail Campgound & RV Park a few miles west.

Visitors often highlighted clean, flat sites and friendly hosts in a pet-friendly environment. However, numerous guests pointed out loud highway and train noise as a significant concern, along with facility issues.

Not great for the price

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

Cool spot with horses but very loud.

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.

Overall great campground

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.

Only place open before April 1

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.
