Big Rock

I had such a wonderful stay at Big Rock Campground! Note: no phone service and you need to have a conservation license.

It was incredibly easy to find, which made arriving stress-free. The campground sites themselves are absolutely incredible, spacious, tidy, and thoughtfully laid out with easy access in and out.

The location is hard to beat. Being right by the stream adds such a peaceful touch, and the sunsets and sunrises here are truly beautiful. Waking up to that kind of view is something special. There are also some nice walking paths/trails nearby, perfect for stretching your legs and taking in the scenery.

The vaulted toilet is as expected, nothing amazing but accessible. Overall, it was a genuinely positive experience from start to finish. I would absolutely stay here again!

Looks like it would be a nice place to camp and has fishing access but currently it's closed and there are work trucks doing repairs and I'm not sure when it will be open again but it is very easy to access off a well maintained gravel road just a few miles from the highway

Rough gravel road to get to the spots & there are only 5 of them . 2 are on the river & looked pretty decent with some shade. The other 2 sit back further from the river but are a quick walk over to the waters edge . These spots looked shady too & tucked away. The only other spot is right as you pull into the area & doesn’t really even look like a spot . It was the only 1 open & we had to get out to double check that it was even a spot at all. Unfortunately it was absolutely filthy with trash & covered in dog feces . I get that it’s a free area but we’ve used a lot of free dispersed camping & fishing access spots over the past 2 weeks & they were all treated with the utmost respect. I’m sad that this place looked like it it. Not cool. We hightailed it outta there & stayed in the Walmart parking lot since nothing was available nearby.

We LOVED it here. This is primitive. Not water or hook ups or trash but there is a pit toilet. Right by a beautiful stretch of the river, perfect for spending the day lounging in the water, swimming, fishing etc. There are prob 5 sites here and it was BUSY mid week in August when we were here. Lots of folks fishing/here for the day and all sites full for overnight. Some sites have picnic tables and all have rock fire rings. Really, so lovely and relaxing. Would def stay again and again if we are in the are. Best of all…it’s free!! Pack in/pack out. Be respectful of others. Keep your dogs on a leash and pick up after your self. Keep this place as lovely as we found it!!

Stayed during a cross country trip.  Awesome location, 10 minutes from the expressway and on the river.  About a half dozen sites with a pit toilet that was stocked and clean.  My site was perfect for a tent, my dog and I enjoyed a peaceful night.  Will certainly stay here again when traveling through the area.

Lovely little spot! Showed up around 5pm Friday and there was only 1 other camper. Had a third join by the end of the night but was super quiet the entire time. Beautiful scenery and river running through. Saw several deer and heard a few others mention seeing a grizzly every once in a while so keep items secured! Definitely would stay again. Vault toilet was clean and well stocked. 6 sites with rock fire rings. A couple sites had picnic tables too!

Great spot not too far in from Big timber. Lots of river running through the campground and low enough to enjoy a swim, fish, or get your feet wet. Restroom is located here. Not far from town so for dinner or anything else you might have forgot.
