Yellowstone River Campgrounds

Premium rates, crappy spaces. Most likely will hear neighbors on either side snore. Then to top it off in addition to premium rates, ($ 74.00 per nite), they charge extra to use outdoor swim pool. Already paid, will not stay another night.

Clean bathrooms, Nice staff… Beautiful dog parks, and a beautiful nature walk going down to the yellow stone river…
Plenty of sites availability!!!
Price is reasonable.

Yes, the RV spaces are close, but the grounds were very clean and park like with lush green grass and flowers everywhere. My kids enjoyed the pool/​hot tub and my dog chased a ball in the off leash park. We’d come again.

This park is beautiful and well-​kept. It is very close to Billings KOA. I love the antique farm collection, old trees that give you lots of shade, lights around the park, strong wifi signal, and mostly I love the paved roads. Shower rooms and laundry room are always clean and neat. (Laundry room closes after Oct 15). There is a pool, game room, dog areas, and a kid playground. I love their private trail leading to the yellowstone river, just about 5 minute walking.
Cons: RVs park very very close to each other, you will definitely lack your privacy. The price is relatively high. Laundry room closes after Oct.15.

The only reason I didn’t give it one star is because it was clean. We had originally planned to stay at the KOA, but it was full so we went with this place. We have two kids who couldn’t even play outside our camper because it was nothing but gravel, and another RV.
The RV’s are so close it’s very uncomfortable. It was two windy for our awning, but I honestly don’t know if we could have put it out without hitting the camper next to ours.
If you are taking kids and think you will have a fire, think again. In all of the spots on the left side (and maybe other sides) there is no fire pit.
Then there is the price. We paid in the $ 60s. It was the most expensive place we stayed on our cross country move, and by far the worse.
Like another reviewer posted I would have rather pulled down the road and stayed in a parking lot.

Very over priced. He’ll I can get a hotel room for what they want. $ 58 a night. Thats a joke for a little water and some power. Will not be back and well spread the wordm

Let’s start with the good things because they are far outweighed by the bad…
1. Internet is one of the best we have encountered at an RV park.
2. Grounds are clean.
3. Definitely one if the nicer off-​leash dog parks we have encountered at an RV park.
4. Antique farm equipment collection is cool.
5. Oops… Ran out of good points…
Now for the bad. The list isn’t as long, but the bad is really bad…
1. All of the pull through spaces are designed for 2 rigs to pull in from opposite directions.
2. There is no space to BBQ, pull out your awning to sit outside, and barely enough room to put your slides out if you have a neighbor because your rigs are right on top of each other; you’ll be lucky to even open your door.
3. The staff act more like disinterested volunteers following horses in a parade with shovels.
Now if the crappiest design for an RV park, miserably tight spaces, and delightful staff isn’t enough to make you stay away, the next one will…
For all of the horrific aspects of this park you’ll have to pay 68 bucks a night… Yes, I said sixty-​eight dollars!!!
We have stayed at 4-​star luxury RV resorts that have perfect layouts, beautiful landscaping, friendly staff, even massage & spa services for less than 68 bucks a night…
The owner of this place is so far out of touch with reality it’s almost scary. The only thing that keeps this disaster of an RV park in business is location.
The really sad part is that they could drop some sites, not all, just a row. Make them «single tenant» so only one RV could be in the spot, and add some grass and a picnic table to make the spaces worth a higher price. Then drop the price on the rest of the spaces to rates normal RV parks charge, and the whole picture would change. Very sad that they choose the rip-​off their customers instead…
I would drop the jacks at a Walmart before staying here again, and we have never done that before, so that’s gotta say something.

First, this campground was not as bad as previous reviews. It was beautiful, well kept and decorated w antique farm equipment. Had a pool/​spa, but we didn’t have time to enjoy it. We would stay there again and recommend it, if you are passing thru Billings. Would give more stars buy we weren’t warned that the water and electric were shared by two sites. When you sign in make sure you ask for a site where water and electric are on the correct side of your camper.

This place was fine for a quick overnight on the way to Yellowstone.

Stayed here in early September 2012. Sites are gravel and like the worst KOA’s, you share electrical hookup with your neighbor (one 30 amp and one 50 amp to a box). Also, the sites are «twinned» and very close together so if you have a large motorhome and your neighbor does too and he puts out his large slide next to you, you may not be able to open your awning. There is a strip of grass about 6 feet wide between every other site which hold the utility connections, so if you want your picnic table on grass, you will be right next to a sewer hookup. Not too pleasant.
My DH and I could not believe the number of RV’s that came in, saw the site assigned to them and left. There is a KOA’S about ¼ mile from this campground.
They have wifi, but it is so slow, even with the campground half full. The cable TV was nice.
BTW, on the registration card, you are asked to provide a picture ID. The clerk tells you that «the DA requires it». They ten look at it and write your info on the registration form. Why they need this, I can’t figure out.
This place might be OK for an overnight, but not much else.

We stayed here for a couple of nights in mid October, and all we could use was the electricity because they had shut off everything else. It had gotten cold one night earlier in the week, so the decided to shut off all of the water, which meant that you couldn’t use the bathrooms, showers, laundry, or the water hookups.
I guess it could be OK in the summer, but it seemed a little early to shut off all of the water. Not being able to use bathrooms or showers at an RV park is a huge inconvenience, and they still charge you for water & electric only, even though you couldn’t possibly use any water.

Pros: clean and quiet. Cons: very close together and the dog area had the sprinklers running from when we arrived at 3:30pm until we went to bed at 11:30. We even asked them to turn them off since dogs have to be on leash in the campground. It never happened. We made many trips around the park to let our little guy stretch his legs.
It was a good alternative to a hotel for a hot shower but that was about it… nothing special here.

Not nearly enough bathrooms and showers, RVs stacked on top of each other with no room for cooking or sitting outside next to your site, the only space reserved for cooking and sitting outside set amid the tent campers (who aren’t exactly thrilled at everyone coming into their sleeping space), a dog «exercise» area the size of a closet… what’s to like about this campsite? The wireless Internet included is nice, but doesn’t begin to make up for this camp sites many shortcomings. If this is your only option for the night, good luck (especially given the scarce number of bathrooms) — you are better off trying elsewhere.
