Nice city park campground close to lots of covered bridges and other things to see. The sites are pretty well spaced with lots of grass and some trees in between. It was a good value for full hookup sites. The bathroom was decent, and phone service was adequate. We just spent one night here on our way home from Colorado, but will be returning in the fall to explore more and see some colors.
The best thing about this campground is that it’s shady and a ways off of the interstate. Otherwise it’s old and tired, with small sites and odd shared hookups between spaces. (Eg. - our water hookup was Ammon a pole right next to our door and the picnic table. The bathrooms were old but clean. There was a cute covered bridge on a trail to the main park which was the best thing about it. There were only a few other campers there, but I cannot imagine what it would be like if it was full. We were there during a boil water order for the entire town, and we appreciated that they emailed us about it so we knew to bring our own water and not use the campground’s.
What a great find close to Co Springs. It’s about 30-40 minutes south, and you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere! A perfect alternative to the crowded campgrounds nearer to the city. The sites are nicely spaced, especially the pull-thru where we stayed. Owners are friendly and helpful, and overall it was super quiet. Phone service was spotty, but there was decent WiFi. We especially enjoyed watching the many hummingbirds zipping about. We would definitely return if we’re back in the area. Thanks for a great stay.
Have to take off 1 star for the freeway noise and the lack of trees. However, the sites are nicely spaced, with many of them facing a few different ponds. The full hook-up sites are much more open than the electric only ones. Also, no showers on the full side, but what looks like a nice building on the electric side. It’s an hour to Estes Park, and it’s nice not to have to drag your rig up the mountain. Plus it’s close to Longmont where we found a couple cute breweries/cideries.
This lovely pine-filled campground is set off the main road just enough to keep away the road noise. Some of the sites will need a bit of leveling as it’s very hilly. The bathroom/shower building is older, but very well maintained and clean. Sites for Custer start booking a year in advance, so snag one early to experience all this wonderful park has to offer.
This is a nice campground for an overnight on the way to Custer. It’s a Bono’s the freeway, so there’s none of that noise, just some from the main road. Sites are level and well marked, although somewhat small. Most have full hookups, and there’s a nice tent area. Very friendly host. Older bathroom/shower, but it was very clean. Had some hiking trails that weren’t super maintained, and the lake in Augusta was green with algae. Overall would stay here again if we need a short stay.
We got a beautiful site right on the lake - big back-in with full hookups. If you’re not lucky and end up in the middle sections, just be aware that the water/electric hookups can be a bit tricky. (Hint - make sure to have extra cord and hoses.) Otherwise this is a perfect location right on the lake, about a 6 minute drive to all the attractions in town, clean and well-maintained. Will definitely return if the right site is available! At&T and T-Mobile service was fine, plus there’s passable WiFi.
This will now be one of our new favorite campgrounds. It’s the perfect mix of modern (lots of nicely spaced electric sites, well maintained shower/bathrooms, on-site store, canoe rentals and more) and rustic. (Wildlife, birds, a stones throw from the BWCA, and gorgeous sunsets.) Be mindful of your camping equipment and the size of the sites - it varies widely. There’s no dump station (closest is in Ely), but there’s a spigot to fill your RV’s water tank. AT&T service was good (2 bars, fast internet and streaming), T-Mobile not so good. (1 bar, slow internet and no streaming) Thanks to the great campground hosts for tips and info too!
This campground has large, nicely spaced sites with lots of mature trees. There are also 2 boat landings and plenty of space to moor your own boat if you wish. The shower house is clean, and there’s also laundry facilities available. For the kids there’s a great play area, however there’s no beach.
The campground itself is nice enough, although some of the sites are small with absolutely no privacy. What made this the least favorite of our campgrounds on our 10 day circle tour was the attitude of the park employees, esp the ones at the entrances. When we arrived, it was 2:10, and check-in started at 3:00. Any other park we’ve been to in our many years of camping lets you go ahead to the site if the previous party has vacated. We were met with “Do you realize that you’re early? Check- in is at 3, and it’s only 2:10!!” We asked if we needed to come back and she barked “No”. Well, if it isn’t a problem, then WHY bring it up? This attitude happened each time we had to go through a gate. Also, the showers were cold at 10 PM. As for visiting the falls, it was a warm sunny day, and the lower falls was SO crowded with people in the water everywhere, that it was one of those “expectation vs. reality” moments. Went back the next morning after 2” of rain, and it was a totally different experience. The best part of the park was the brewery and restaurant at the upper falls.
Great campground for an overnight stay. The lake is beautiful, and the sites are wooded and nicely spaced on the back of the main loop. The owners were friendly and informative. Just be advised there’s no cell service, and the WiFi is a bit spotty. Other than that, we would definitely return if ever in the area again.
This is a small campground, with sites that are somewhat close together. However, there’s a great view of Lake Superior, and the sunset from our site was wonderful. (Site 7) Nice and quiet too. We’d return if we’re in the area again.
What a great vibe at this campground. The side we were on had sites on a hill, but each site is pull-thru and very level. There’s enough spacing to make each site feel private. The swimming pond is a nice touch. It’s our first time here, but we’re already planning a return trip next spring.
Large campground with many many sites, both RV and tent that are crammed close together. The best part about it is how close it is to the lake and how easy it is to access the rock beaches. The bathrooms are clean and modern. However, if your site happens to be next to a loud, obnoxious group, it can be a pretty miserable experience. Also, watch out for the hoards of kids on bikes, both when walking and driving! :)
This COE campground is fully open and functional. There’s a nice variety of sites available, a boat landing and docks, shower building, dump station, playground, beach, etc. It’s all very nicely maintained. Some of the sites are a bit open to each other, but are well spaced. Tip - drinking water in the North Campground is not at the dump station, but on the other end near the boat launch.
This hidden gem is a great small park and campground perfect for a weekend getaway. The electric sites are on the smaller side (our site, #7, required us to park our truck lengthwise in front of our 29’ trailer) but are fairly secluded from each other. The bathroom/shower building was strange - vault toilets on one side with the showers on the other. Not sure how the women’s was, but hubby said one of the men’s had no hot water, and the other was almost scalding hot. A bit of a tight turn to get to the dump station. Good trails throughout the park, most with climbs up to the tops of the ridge. No phone service at all throughout the park. Need to come back when the fall colors are at their peak!
Great place for an overnight stop. This is as consistent as a MN state park can be - nice sites, mostly well spaced and accessible, with some hiking trails, dump station and brand new shower/restroom building. The night we were there had races going on at the nearby speedway - made it hard for campfire conversations. Good AT&T coverage.
Stopped here on our way south for spring break. The amusement park was not open yet, so the campground area was relatively quiet and the price for full hookups was not bad. Nice shower/bathroom building too. I imagine it’s very different on a busy weekend when the park is open, but we would definitely stay here again as stopover.
Cottonwood is located inside the NP, so an extra admission fee of $30 is required. The sites are fairly wooded, but some are very small and oddly placed. The bathroom is a brand new building with flush toilets, it’s just too bad they did not add showers. Water spigots are plenty throughout the park, there is an RV fill-up, but there is no dump station. We didn’t see any wildlife in the campground, but it was plenty in the park. (Saw more in the 3 hour drive than our 3 days in Yellowstone!) We would hope to come back and spend one more day touring the north unit of the park. No AT&T service in the campground.
This is no more/no less than expected from a private campground in eastern Montana. Very convenient off the highway and to town, also about 20 minutes to Little Big Horn. Full hookup sites have a gravel pad, some grass and a few trees. AT&T service was good. Very friendly owner and an interesting gift shop.
