Camp and fish the Yellowstone at Mallard's Rest

Note: My visit and review is from before the Yellowstone River flood. This fishing access site is currently closed due to public safety risks caused by extremely high water levels, endangered and failing infrastructure, flooded and impassible access roads.

Mallard's Rest is a nice small Montana Fishing Access site that allows camping. Campground sits on the banks of the Yellowstone River. Campground appears to be a mixture of developed campsites and dispersed camping as some site are clearly marked and have metal fire rings and picnic tables. Other "sites" might just have a table or nothing at all. The site has two vault toilets. This is a pack-in / Pack-out campground. No water is available so come prepared. A boat ramp and parking area for boat trailers is available. This is a popular campground, my visit in March is the first time that I have noticed this not being over packed with campers. Cost to camp varies between $5 and $18 depending on your age, if you are a Montana residence or not, and if you have a state fishing license.

Very nice MT Fishing Access CG on the Yellowstone

Beautiful CG spot for fishing access. Drift Boat ramp and 6 to 8 designated camp sites. Plus overflow. 2 or 3 tent sites. Reviews about noise, no water and dog poop are justified but hey its a fish camp. People are great. Dogs are friendly. Will always be crowded on weekends. AT&T 5 bars even picked up 30 digital access TV channels Update June 2022. CG closed due to Yellowstone river flooding. Check with MT Fish, wildlife and parks for updates

Siteriverside could fish from the campfire.

Amazing late season spot

This place is great. No hookups so be ready for that, but you’re right in the river, it gets sun right away in the morning, and it’s only $12/night with a MT fishing license.

Great fishing, nice campsites, dog friendly

We stayed for one night and camped in a tent. The river access was nice, as were the campsites. However, there were not many marked tent sites and there was dog poop everywhere. Other than that, it was very nice! They have 2 vault toilets.

Busy, loud

Busy campground with no spots left on a Sunday night. People were camping in undesignated sites which makes it crowded. You can hear the highway with big trucks passing by all night. No toilet paper in the bathroom. Beautiful view.

Honestly don't want to leave a good review so yall don't realize how awesome this place is.

Got a beautiful spot just feet away from the Yellowstone River. Wasn't sure how long we would stay but decided to stay the full week allowance immediately upon getting set up. Had a great week of fishing, so many hikes all around and still just a few hours away from all of Yellowstones hot spots. Livingston is a fun little town with lots to offer. Also, you save 6 bucks a night camping with a valid Montana fishing license.

River camping

Really nice, we didn’t get a riverside spot but it was still nice enough. Beautiful views and close to Yellowstone, which was a plus for us. We felt lucky to get a spot on a Saturday! Fees vary but are $18 at the highest. A bit of highway noise and a decent amount of traffic from day use parking.

Peace & quiet

Nice spot along the Yellowstone River. There were no hookups that we found but it was still a great spot to enjoy peace and quiet and beautiful views.

Simple but beautiful location

No water, but right on the Yellowstone River. You hear the road noise at night but if you need a beautiful spot as part of the Yellowstone excursion it's a good one nighter.
