This is your average KOA except it is close to I-90 so there is some traffic noise. Luckily we were away from the road so that reduced the noise somewhat. There are trains that come by every hour and blow their whistle several times. The tracks are right beside the interstate. We were given ear plugs at check-in so I knew we were in trouble. The ear plugs did help but if you were up close to I-90 you wouldn't get any sleep, ear plugs or not. We had a hard time finding the office because there was no sign. Also, it is a little tight but we saw some 40' motorhomes in here so you can maneuver carefully. I would not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very rude office staff. Acted as if they were doing us a favor by letting us stay there. Very noisy- right on a busy train track. Poorly maintained sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very KOA with gravel, but level sites, narrow access roads, and nice staff. This park has free WiFi that is quite good and seems to reach all the sites. There is a waterpark that is simply amazing, if you have kids they will love it. We will stay again for an overnighter. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Park was nice with shaded lots. No cable or WiFi...managers said lightning had struck tower. Our reservations, made weeks in advance, was not correct when we arrived. Also, the rate seemed very high for the overall conditions. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed over 1 night traveling through. Quiet CG. Sites were not level. DO NOT LEAVE MONEY IN NIGHT DROP - OURS WAS STOLEN!! They knew who did it and the Sheriff knew him well too!! Wait to pay next AM if overnighter. Don't think we'd stay here again. Wouldn't have the first time except we were VERY tired and couldn't make it to Billings. CG itself isn't bad, very uneasy about the management and the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We'd planned on spending one night here but stayed two because of the beautiful setting, riverfront site, and gorgeous weather. Very friendly staff escorted us to the site which was a large back-in on the river. Wi-Fi good even at the far end of the park. Would definitely return here on our next trip to Montana. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice campgrounds. The campground is off the beaten path but worth it. Big sites and plenty of trees. Next to a stream, very peaceful. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Friend recommended we spend the weekend. Able to get a back in site on the river. Park is very clean, staff is friendly, helpful and social with campers. Enjoyed listening to the Boulder Stream, a blue ribbon trout river and watching the fly fisher people. They have fishing ponds, room for kids to play, a nice picnic pavilion. The town of Big Timber is very pleasant too. Excellent park, very worth the stop and stay a few days. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was the second time we stopped here - a week this time. Loved it the first time, even better the second. Nice, patient workers, very friendly and helpful. We had issues with our satellite which required a lot of phone use, and since our AT&T cell didn't have service, they very willingly allowed us to use the office phone (above and beyond). We had a site right on the river, nice soothing river sounds, hubby fished off the bank. We never fished the ponds, but a lot did. There is a lending library in the laundry (which was clean but could use a folding table). Two sets of showers, one set at the office and one on the end with the laundry. Good Wi-Fi, challenging angles for satellite TV but we found a spot that worked finally. No local TV. Quiet at night. River sites were pretty tight, but with the open spaces on front and the river on the back, we never felt too enclosed. Store at the office has good selection of ice cream treats, which is a must for us! The owners and employees seldom rested, always raking, cleaning, mowing, and it shows in how well things are kept. We'll definitely be back when we're up this way again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice well maintained campground. We had a big rig site next to river with lots of shade trees. You do not need a license to fish in trout ponds. They supply rods & bate. You catch, they clean & charge .50 per inch. What a great deal. Internet directions perfect. No cable TV but good Wi-Fi. The park was rather rustic with fire pits. Bought some wood from office & roasted marshmallows! Great evening. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice beautiful setting. It don't get much better than this!. Friendly staff. Seen resident Deer and Antelope. Nice fish ponds and can feed the fish. River spots available. Good WiFi. Good satellite reception. Stay here and you won't be sorry. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very quite laid back campground. The sites are somewhat short and if you park on river front, you may need extra length of electrical cord and water hose. The grounds are well manicured with gravel sites that are somewhat level. They have three ponds that are stocked with Rainbow Trout. You can fish without a fishing license, but you are not told that you must pay .50 cents an inch for the fish you catch. All you are told is that they will be glad clean your fish for .50 cents an inch. Another area of concern is the credit card system they use was outlawed over two years ago, the old system being used prints the credit card name (Visa or Discover) and the complete account number. I have a problem with this as today people will use this information to rip you off. No cel service with T-Mobile We camped here in a Motorhome.
This camp is a little hard to find, but their directions on the website are spot on. Its away from the road and the only noise is the wind and the river. Grassy level sites. We got a river site so we parked ~10ft from the water. Beautiful!! Bath/showers are clean and the WIFI is fast and strong in the entire camp! A+++ Kids caught fish and the staff cleaned them. I wish we could stay here longer. We will come back when we do Yellowstone. Only reason it is not a 10 is there is only one bath and one shower. Could be bigger, otherwise, this place is top notch. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camped one night with friends in a class c. The sites were level and grass cut. The entire complex was very clean. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The fishing right out the back door was very good. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
This is a great park in every regard! It is in a valley away from town and is very quiet. It has the Boulder River flowing next to it, with site on the river. Shade, fishing (pond or river) nice grassy areas, and a very complete store. They have a lot of RVs there for a month or the whole summer, so book early if you want long term. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Perhaps we were expecting too much after a long day of driving but we did not feel that the campground lived up to our expectations based on previous reviews. Yes, the river is gorgeous. We never expected to be beside a rushing snow melt fed river. The sites were immaculately maintained, adequate size, no privacy but that is typical for private campgrounds. We felt the washrooms, although clean, were substandard. The shower was so tiny you barely had enough room to dry yourself. There was only one men's toilet to serve our half of the campground. In summary, you are paying a significant premium for a river view. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We picked site #20. This is the best site, but all are great. The people are fantastic, the sites are large and shady. The river side sites (including #20) are fantastic. We think this is the best campground we have visited this year! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I agree with the previous reviews. This park is a refreshing change from the tightly spaced parks along the highway. Very pleasant, very quiet and excellent Wi-Fi. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice campground, enjoyed listening to the Boulder River flowing by. At times, it got a little windy, but calmed down in the evening. Will go back in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a clean well-maintained quiet park with fairly level sites. It is big-rig and satellite dish friendly. There are a wide variety of types of sites, so specify what you want when you make your reservations.. Some sites face the river, some are gravel sites, some are grass sites, some have 50amps, many surround the two stocked fishing ponds, most are surrounded by grass and nicely spaced large trees and a few of the sites are close together. There is a dump station and an inexpensive honey wagon is available. They have a very limited number of sites with FHU and they are saved for RVers that are there for longer stays. There are also four cabins along the river. Tent area is separate from the RV section. The park is accessed via an open-range gravel road off Hwy 298 south of Big Timber. Campground hosts were friendly, customer-oriented and escorted us to our site. There is a GS discount or a weekly discount. We are full-timers who lived there 16 days and would definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We love this place. We were right on the river, for which we gave up a sewer connection (no problem for 4 days) Most of the sites are grassy and have lots of space. There are some close together, gravel spaces, along the river which some might hate but a camper said to us last night -- who in fact was "crammed in between 5th wheels" -- "Isn't this beautiful." Sites not on the river are slightly cheaper and they offer a Good Sam discount. WiFi is strong here at our river site where I am typing the review. We would recommend a drive down to "Natural Bridge" (get directions in the office). The Boulder River valley is spectacular and the views into the gorge at Natural Bridge aren't for the faint of heart. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We thoroughly enjoyed our almost two-week stay at this lovely and very quiet campground along the Boulder River. The new owner is very anxious to please and obviously cares very much about his campground. He has made many improvements and plans more. The grounds are meticulously maintained and there are a lot of beautiful grassy areas and large trees. Although we were unable to use our Satellite because of the trees, but the site was otherwise so nice we didn't care. We had one of the few sewer sites but they offer a Honey Wagon service for a fee for the other sites and there is a dump station. The tent sites are separated from most of the RV sites, which we appreciated. One can fish the Boulder River from the campground and there are two trout ponds on-site that were very popular. Although it didn't affect us, some may find that the number of restrooms and laundry machines is inadequate for the size of the campground. Also, the WiFi was very slow, was down often, and did not reach all the sites, fortunately it reached ours. We were told that an order has been placed for an upgrade to the system. The campground was so comfortable, relaxing and beautiful that we would be happy to return for a lengthy stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Spring Creek Campground is located approximately 3 miles off I-90. To get to the campground, you have to drive through town. The campground is well taken care of and is adjacent to the Boulder River. There are two trout ponds stocked with rainbow trout. No catch and release. They charge $0.45/inch for fish caught. We asked for a riverside site, but were disappointed with the site, if you could call it that. Although the river was 10' from our site, we were wedged in between two 5th wheels. The area we were assigned was all gravel, and became quite dusty when the wind came up. Because the campground is located on the river and has several ponds, there are quite a number of flying insects that come out at night. This made it all but impossible to sit outside the trailer once the sun went down. The biggest drawback was the bathrooms and showers. The bath/shower facilities are located at the office and at the far end of one of the camping areas. Each unit has exactly one shower each for men and one for women. Also, the office facility has just two private bathrooms with sink and toilet for men and two for women. The far facility has just one bathroom each for men and women. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a pretty nice campground but not very well layed out. A new owner has taken over so maybe that will improve. The only downside was the demeanor of the office/store women. Poor at best if not downright rude. We were going to move our rig to another spot and were told in no uncertain terms, not to move it with our guidance, which is ok. It's just the way we were told. We quit going to the store. We don't know what their problem was but we probably won't stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Really an exceptional campground right on the river. The sites are set up so you can face the river with the front of your motorhome. It would be nice to have sewer but there is a legal restriction on having sewer lines that close to the river. This place is so nice that I didn't mind driving up to the dump station. The wifi is very fast and strong. You can drive up the river canyon from the park entrance. It's a great place for a few days or even longer. There are a few sites which do normally have sewer but they are not on the riverfront and when we were here those sites were closed for maintenance. I will definitely come back here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
First, let me say that this RV Park closed Oct 15. Their listing in the TLD did not list a closing date, so we thought we'd give it a try. The owner came out (lives on site) and encouraged us to stay. No water (pipes had already been winterized), but we had plenty in the tank, so no problem. For $25 per night we got a riverside site with great Wifi connection and very friendly service. Refilled our propane tank for $20 (threw in a can of Skoal for my boyfriend ;-), and checked in on us to make sure we were doing fine this morning. We will definitely return next time we are out this way with the trailer... We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground changed hands in June 2006 and the new owner is very enthusiastic. He waters the grass regularly and even though the area was in a drought and very brown the campground was like a green oasis. We were taken to our site and offered help in hooking up. There are two stocked ponds in the middle of the campground where one can fish without a license. They were charging 60 cents an inch for for fish caught which included cleaning. They even have fishing rods available. There was a work camper at the desk who was very nice and helpful. They also have milkshakes and hand dipped ice cream cones available. This campground is located a couple of miles from the interstate which makes for a quiet night. The facilities are squeaky clean. Big Timber is a small town but has a nice IGA for stocking up. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Gravel roads and gravel pads, 30 amp service ONLY, NO CREDIT CARDS, checks or cash only, FREE Wi-Fi is available in office only, does NOT cover park. Nice staff, escort to site. Facilities are a little tired. Hard to find - N45° 48.213' W109° 57.960'. Verizon phone service is ok, but no Verizon cellular Internet access. At time of this review (8/2006), NO FIRES (including charcoal). No cable tv, antenna gets NBC, CBS. Some of the turns are a little difficult, but manageable in big rig. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Meant to do this last year...this place was fabulous. Very clean, wonderful hosts! Woodall's cheated them on stars! They parked me next to the river and had the best view in the place, and ice cream at the office! Friendliness counts for a lot in my book and these people were great. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a beautiful, clean, very well maintained campground on the Boulder River. The sites are sizeable and most are shaded. The bathrooms are extra clean and private. There is no swimming pool but there is an ice cream parlour, c-store, playground, and fly-fishing. The staff is very friendly. The campground is 2.5 miles off the highway so no highway noise. I wish more campgrounds were like this! We camped here in a Motorhome.
