Noisy, but beautiful .

As mentioned in other reviews, trains were loud. There was also a child messing with our tent early in the morning and being super noisy. Tent camping is crowded and unorganized, but neighbors were super respectful. Something to mention with tent camping: you will NOT get a view like the plug in sites do. Nice showers and bathrooms. There is a pool that isn’t super crowded. Price was about $40/night which was high for a site with no view, and no privacy, but I understand the appeal of the pool and showers!

Fine, but holy trains

The campground is fine - we were in a pinch to find a tenting site in Bozeman as all others were full. Just a quick night stay so what could go wrong? Well, we were up with trains going by and sounding their horns all. night. long. The check in process and staff were lovely, but I hate trains today. I last saw 4am and needed to be up by 630.

Excellent for kids close to town

Beautiful sunsets, clean bathrooms and laundry room. We tent camped and the grounds are beautiful. Fun little hike behind the campground to see the hills and valley. Pool is great, does get busy in the middle of the day. It does have a lot of road noise and trains but I love the train sounds so it isn’t an issue for us. Friendly and kind staff, overall wonderful campground if you want to be close to Bozeman.

Loud Trains, good views

Campground was ok, but typical of lots of RV parks, had narrow sites. Our site was a level pull thru. Staff were nice and organized. Camp cat was great! The location is near a railway and the trains came through all night blowing horns and disturbed our sleep.

Expensive for the Value Received

Needed a FHU site for a few days near Bozeman to take advantage of electricity to run A/C due to extreme heat. Secured a pull through site with 50amp service. The campground packs in the rigs and many appeared to be seasonal stays with their “stuff” scattered around their sites. We did use the laundry, which all worked well. Didn’t use the pool that appeared to be well maintained. But, restroom cleanliness didn’t receive the same level of care. Overall impression-too expensive for the value received.

Great spot - lots of trains

Nice camping close to Bozeman - which is home to Montana State and a couple good microbreweries. Really liked this campground - but didn’t get enough sleep. Tent camping is nice here, some trees for wind cover and flat ground with picnic benches. But the trains roll through the entire evening, with horns sounding their arrival. Made it pretty tough to sleep. Nice amenities with a pool, showers, water, etc.

Steep steep

Not the best experience. The entrance is quite tricky and very steep. We missed the entrance and had to find a place to unhook and turn around. (We’re in a 36’ RV pulling a Jeep) The hookup spaces are so close together you can touch your neighbor, so we missed the beautiful views the partial hook up guys were able to enjoy. It’s a little run down and quite pricy. The dog “park” isn’t fenced, so if your hoping to let your dogs stretch there legs, this isn’t the place for you. We will find another stop next time we come through.

Narrow sites but doable

We had all the services except for cable. There is a campstore and pool. Up a little hill and it was well maintained.

Basic RV park/campground with amenities for children

This is your average family campground with RV park and grass closely packed tent campground (like literally right on top of one another split by single pine trees). Very much like a KOA (pool, shop, WiFi, showers, laundry etc.) but half the price ($26/night for basic tent site). No fire pits, there is a picnic table for each site.

Stayed 2 nights in a tent site.

Clean campground with friendly staff. You can hear train horns during the night so if you’re a light sleeper bring ear plugs.

Great Views

This park was in a great location and overlooked the whole valley. W/E only for us but there were some full hookups. Very clean facilities and friendly staff, right down the street from Bozeman.
