I rated this park a 9 when we stayed here last year. We had a pull-thru full hookup site for $36. They have finally priced themselves out of the market for me at $56 for a back-in full hookup next to the road into/out of the park. Management must not realize the current market...they'd only have to look at the lack of folks using the BBQ either morning or evening ... few used the facility. After reviewing costs at other local parks, I think we will just skip Billings altogether in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We really enjoyed this campground. The rate was a bit high but that was because we requested a patio site with furniture. Our site was perfectly level and the lawn area was very well maintained. We would definitely return there if we are in the area again and probably stay for several days the next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
First stay in this park in 2008. We have stayed many times in previous years. It's the best KOA we have stayed in but we tend to avoid most KOA's. It will accommodate any big unit--grounds are nice--Wi-Fi works well---At 60 bucks a night it is on the high side for what you get in our opinion and the deluxe patios sites are more money than we paid this trip. We will probably stay with them again but it's getting close to the price of a motel----- We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is one of the nicer KOAs. Level sites on gravel. Well maintained grassy areas. Lots of trees and flowers. Pleasing surroundings. Reasonable prices for the laundry. Very clean restrooms and showers. They have some new premium sites that have cement pads and patios. Would stay here again while passing through. The campground is on the Yellowstone River and there are some sites that have a river view. Noise from I-90 is minimal. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We really enjoyed this park, our first stay here. Shade was ample, we were able to walk and to ride our bikes. The setting was very scenic and staff friendly. Unfortunately the hot tub heater was broken, but staff very apologetic and were working on the problem they had just discovered. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice KOA, also first KOA. When we were there you could walk on the rocky riverbed. We had one of their super-site pull-through site which include a fireplace, swing and patio table with chairs and umbrella. WiFi was solid, but we were adjacent to the office. Office was staffed were very young but appeared to know what they were doing. The playground was OK; they had miniature golf. Also had a pool that wasn't open yet. We would stay there again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed at this KOA many times over the years. The premium sites are tight for a big motor home. In June we paid $58 a night and in Sep it was $45. A few comments--The water had a very funny taste this time--- Never noticed it before. The premium sites face wrong so you have afternoon sun on your patio side. In general it is the best park in Billings and for a KOA it's better than most by far. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very well kept maintained KOA we used on our way east. Some special sites included a paved patio with umbrella table etc. Typical KOA type campground with nice facilities, but otherwise rows of campsites. No real complaints, and a good place to stop while passing through. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
The comments posted about the gravel road into this KOA no longer apply. The road from exit 450 has been paved. We camped here in early September and requested a water/electric only site because I could see the sites with water/electric/sewer/cable were packed. The area we were in was sparsely occupied so we had no one next to us. We were able to walk our dogs down along the Yellowstone River which flows by the campground. The campground is well maintained, the staff friendly and helpful, and all the public rooms I used were very clean. We would camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very good KOA. Trees and grass galore. This was the first KOA. A little more expensive, but a lovely park. The WiFi worked fine. Nice large pull through sites. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a nice park however I do not think that $44.00 for a site with no sewer and only 30 amp is reasonable. I will not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park was very clean. When we arrived it looked like everybody was having a great time. Good family park. Rather expensive. They were out of sewer sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here one night and found this to be one of the better KOA campgrounds. The children we had with us really enjoyed this place. This KOA is very large but well maintained. The only negative was the incredible volume of "yellow jackets" wasps in the park. We attempted to eat twice in the outdoor dining area and each time had to leave because of the constant attacks on us and our food by the wasps. Overall a very nice place to stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A little pricey however, sites level and well spaced, grass, concrete patio, concrete picnic table and swing at site. Large mature shade trees. Very busy in season but quiet and clean. We stayed 7 days and without question would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Weird park. If you are a family with kids, this is great. Lots of things for kids to do. However, when making reservations, make sure to ask what is available at your site. Some have assorted hookups. Can be noisy with kids all over and tenters having a good time, so if you want quiet, move on. Sites vary a lot by price and amenities. Some areas are crowded, others not as much. Expensive sites can face some long-term trailers. No "instant on" phones. WiFi varies by site. Agree with fellow camper who said too many teenage workers who are not professional. Poor supervision of pool rules, etc. (toddlers in spa, etc.) Laundry small, as are showers. Good BBQ on site. High shade is nice. Overall, good for families, but expensive for what it is. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice KOA. One thing we did notice is that there is a very low ratio of KOA staff members. The pool wasn't very clean, and it was crowded. (You can expect that as it was 100 degrees out!) The showers were ok, however full of flies. Our site is absolutely beautiful, however as you can see, we paid for it! It had a gas grill, swing, table, bench and concrete pad....not to mention perfectly level site. We made our reservations very early, and it that was a good idea as this is a very busy KOA. There is wonderful landscaping, real grass, paved streets and overall, the grounds are beautiful. There is a pond nearby so we noticed a few mosquitoes. The miniature golf was nice and very reasonably priced at 2.00 per person. We would definitely stay here again and we do recommend taking exit 447 for the paved road versus the construction shorter route. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Overnight spot only. Quite expensive for what you get. Showers clean. Pool very dirty. Young teenage staff who were more interested in playing on the bicycles than doing work. I old them about the pool and that there was a young couple in the pool with 2 children who were to young to be potty trained and were in the water without pool diapers. They brushed me off. I don't think I would stay here again. Site not well kept. WiFi hit and miss. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Actually a lovely park with nice sites. There was even a fenced in dog park in the middle and a kiddie play area. Our site had a cement "patio" and table with umbrella. The ONLY problem I had was the price. $49 was outrageous for amenities that we were used to paying about $35. KOA has really priced itself out of our budget at most parks. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The only thing missing in this campground was a bigger view, however, everything else was much better than my previous stays at other KOAs. Campfire pits at most sites, except for the older part of the park that had only water and electrical hook-ups. If a campfire pit is important to you, make sure you request one when making your reservation. We stayed 2 nights to tour Battle of the Little Big Horn and then stayed again on our return trip home. Nice pool. Friendly staff. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Most beautiful full service RV park I've stayed in after 8 years of RVing. We had a level gravel site with water/electric/sewer/cable/wifi. We had a concrete patio with fire ring, picnic table, and two person swing under a large tree. Campground has heated pool and hot tub. Laundry facilities in the campground are excellent, big washers, big dryers, ironing board and iron. Breakfast and dinner are available daily in the campground during the summer and the food was good and the price reasonable. If you come into the park from exit 450, it's a quarter mile drive on a gravel road. If you come in from exit 447, however, it's 2.5 miles of good paved road. If this park was a little less expensive, I would have giving it a 10. I would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice, well presented park but cannot see where the daily rate can be justified in Billings. We reserved a fullhook-up site but when we go to the allocated site there was no sewer. Returned to the office and changed to one of the dozen or so that did have sewer. Small % for a large park. As others have remarked the road to the park is terrible. Don't bother washing your RV or car. There are signs up for road work, but nothing being done. Would we stay here again - probably try Yellowstone River Park just down the same rotten road. Looked nice and probably cheaper. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lots of big shade trees, grass, flowers, plenty of room between sites. We got a beautiful back-in site right on the banks of the Yellowstone River. This is the nicest KOA-both staff and facilities- we have encountered. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This camp was overpriced but the nicest park we've stayed at since our summer trip began in March 2007. Although out of the owner's control - we would have rated the park a 10 except the entry road is torn up and the gravel is rough, which is apparently under repair. The gravel site was level with concrete patios, swing set, and a table with an umbrella. We stayed for 3 nights and would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice campground on the river, lots of trees. Very clean restrooms and showers, also a well stocked store. Spaces were nicely spaced leaving plenty of room. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a disaster. We pulled in and at first everything was fine. The employees worked with us when the site they had chosen was too small. Then came the winds. The wind started blowing like crazy. Debris was blowing sideways off the trees. Large branches were breaking off and hiting units; including ours. Within one minute there were three employees (2 in golf carts and one on a tractor) going around picking up all the branches and fallen debris. Clearly they were not surprised by this and were trained and well versed on this type of event. We pulled out of our spot and started driving around trying to find a safe place, out of range of the "missles" flying off the trees. The employee on the tractor directed us towards the patio sites. I backed it in there and went to the office to tell them where we were. I also told them I was not going to pay for an upgrade just to be out of danger in the park. They didn't argue. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Quiet park on the Yellowstone River. Great facilities. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here a week and it's a great "hub" to visit the surrounding historical sites; Cody, Beartooth scenic hwy, and Bighorn Nat'l monument. It's a bit too far for Yellowstone. Very clean and has big upgraded sites for the extra cost. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Over priced. Otherwise a nice place. The city road to the campground needs work and is very narrow. I liked the patio with picnic table with umbrella and grill. Mini golf is $2 per person extra, we didn't play, thought it should be in with the cost. Did hear road noise in the morning, but none at night. Slept with windows open. We have our own shower and toilet in our trailer and use it, but I did check out the restrooms and showers. Their showers are smaller than the one in our trailer. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A very nice, well maintained KOA park. Sites are spacious and well maintained. Patio sites are especially nice if your going to be there for a few days. Open air restaurant, offering breakfast and dinner, staffed by foreign students very reasonably priced. Food quality is excellent. Only negative is the road to the park. It is very rough and seriously in need of repaving. It was so bad that I drove down the wrong side of the road when there was no opposing traffic to avoid it. We would stay there again. (In fact we did on our return trip) We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park was great. Nice shade on the sites, fire rings at each site (which we don't see too often at KOA's) and patio furniture or porch swings. The hookups located nicely and they were easy to find in the dark. If all the KOA's were like this we'd stay in them more often. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
While the approach is nicely done, the e/w sites are expensive at $38 and have poor ingress and very poor egress. For some reason, they think they must water the sites until they are muddy. Makes no sense but they do it all day long. They have very expensive patio sites at $56/night which are nicely done but again the price is out of line. One can stay in a totally first class resort like Crown Villa in Bend, OR for less and have a much better total experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Typical KOA except in one respect. The campground had tight turns and impediments for a big rig, and the "river" that allegedly ran through the campground was bone dry. The one respect where this campground was different was that its "deluxe" sites were a total ripoff at $59 per night. They were gravel and basically no better than what you would expect at a $25-$30 per night campground. Would not stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Felt rate was high but it was summer season. Overall park very nice, staff mostly young, college/high school, but friendly. Laundry clean and we felt safe. Other campers around us friendly. Did not escort to site and had issue with just which one was ours, but once sorted out we had a nice large level site with huge patio close to laundry and camp store. Play area for kids made park quiet. The city street to the park is narrow, run down. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for one night on our way to South Dakota and on our return trip back to Alberta, Canada. What a beautiful campground. It was very well looked after. The washrooms and showers were clean and well stocked. The swimming pool and hot tub were wonderful. Our only disappointment was not being able to stay longer. We would strongly recommend this campground to anyone and will return on future visits to the States. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Pull throughs are long enough to keep your tow hooked-up, even with a big rig. Super sites appear shorter than regular sites. Good roads inside campground, although a lots of turns. However, the approach road to the campground, off the interstate, was full of pot-holes. Very helpful, friendly, and young staff. Good voltage & water pressure. Trees were trimmed and did NOT have any problems with low hanging branches. Stayed only one night, on the way to Yellowstone, but would plan to stay longer on next trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice RV park, park is very close to Yellowstone River. Roads and sites are
gravel. Park is clean and has a lot of nice trees. No road noise. Staff was nice at check in. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have big rig, so called ahead to get site with no low tree limbs. Naturally, first site had lots of low limbs so went back for try #2. Got site with only a few low limbs to scrape the bus. Next day, had to find caretaker to come trim trees so we could depart. Deluxe site was nice but expensive and hard to get into (had to move the usual boulders). Don't believe them when they say all trees are trimmed to 14'. Staff in summer were European college students and were interesting to talk with at dinner bar-b-que and maintenance staff very helpful. Since we were there only overnight, can't comment on other amenities. Would stay here again as it is quiet and off the freeway. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A bit of a change from the traditional campground, more like a trailer park. For what we needed, just a one night stay over, it was perfect, didn't even have to unhook. Sites were freshly paved and level. Some full-timers in the park. All of them spoke and were friendly. Office opened up even for our late arrival. Cable and wifi worked great. Restrooms, showers, and laundry room were all extremely clean. Close to the interstate exit. Only drawback might be its location in an industrial park. Noise was not a problem. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A good park considering it is in the city. No pull-thrus however. Pads are concrete and there is plenty of room. There is a train track fairly nearby, but it is not used as much as the one near the KOA, so it is a little quieter here. The park has some mobile homes, but they are not directly in the RV area where we stayed. There are also some long-term RVs, but they are better kept than some we have seen. Wifi worked fine. Lots of trees, but satellite worked fine. Very convenient to shopping and dining. We camped here in a Motorhome.
All paved access roads and pads, including a spot for tow/towed vehicle. Full hookups including cable tv. No tables at sites. Wifi is free for first 12 hours, runs consecutively, than 1.50 a day. We didn't use as our Verizon aircard worked great here. Some sites have trees which could be a satellite reception problem. Office staff friendly and referred us to the nearby visitor center for any local info. Is conveniently located off Hwy 90 and only one exit east of all the shops & restaurants, including Costco and Walmart. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Pleasantly pleased. Great little park. Lady in office was very nice and helpful. The restrooms were absolutely spotless. The roads and parking sites were paved. Nice trees and grass between sites. Looked like some long term people here, but all looked good. The train did not bother us as one review mentioned. It was not that loud. All back-ins, but not a problem for us. Number of large motorhomes here so that is not a problem either. The best deal in town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Best value in Billings. Immaculate park. Immaculate restrooms. Sites separated by well-maintained grass. Very helpful management. Only negative is proximity to railroad tracks which are used frequently throughout the night! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground catered to very large motorhomes owned by seniors with all the extra amenities of cable TV, WiFi, etc. We were in a tent trailer so didn't need all the extras but still had to pay for them $31 The owner (woman) was nice enough to give us a Good Sam discount but the man in the office was very grumpy and didn't have any people skills...in fact he spoke quite rudely to me when I asked him a question. Bathrooms were very clean but hot (no air vents or a/c) Temp outside was 100 F and the bathrooms were close to that too! Sites were pad of asphalt and small patch of grass with one small tree between sites. Overall we thought it was very expensive for our needs... but if you are a big RVer wanting Cable and internet it's probably worth it. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
The park and owner are great! They would get a 9 by itself. The surrounding neighborhood is very industrial. Thus the lower score. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was the only park open within 40 miles, despite many hunters. The showers and restrooms were closed for the winter. The path to the river was also closed. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Sites were to narrow. With two motorhomes in the same site you do not have enough room to put up your awning. Grave pads. Not much grass between sites. If you were eating at the picnic table you were only 4'-5' from your next door neighbor. If we were to come back I would try to get a wider site as there are a few wider ones. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As previously mentioned, the tight sites and utilities placement are the major negatives for this park. Because the park is fairly full most of the summer, these cramped sites kept me from staying more than one night. Restrooms need to be modernized but the laundry is large and clean. Pool is too small for a park that has a lot of kids. I agree that that it is expensive for the accommodations. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our rate per night reflects a monthly rate since we had an extended stay due to illness. This would be a great overnight park, but the sights are too close together and the hooks ups are not well placed for extended stays. The staff is friendly but mostly high school kids who know nothing about parking and directing RVs. They have wifi, but cable is only available at the full hookup sights. Population is very transient. We would stay there again if ever in Billings. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We found this park to be just right for our needs. Nice level site with shade trees that we trimmed high so they did not interfere with coming and going. Friendly staff. We would stay there again if passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Cost for most things including stay were too high. Seems they think they (with the KOA close at hand) have the market cornered. I am still waiting to here from them about something I have left there. A pretty nice place but I will avoid it myself because of the attitude and costs. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
This was one of the least people friendly campgrounds we encountered in 9 weeks of travel. One cause of our problem was the small sites sandwiching our small travel trailer between two bus sized motorhomes so close we could shake hands from the campers. The campground ad indicated they had cable TV, which was one reason we reserved here. No where did any ad indicate that cable was available only at full hookup sites, which we were unable to get. When we questioned the employee at the desk about the cable it was then we found out only the full hookups had cable. She then told us to hook up our satellite dish. If we had a satellite dish we would not care about cable. We indicated that our location between large motorhomes only allowed us to get one station with our antenna, and to that she again replied in a rude manner, "Well maybe it will be a good one." When we asked to speak to the owner/manager, we were told they would not be available until morning. In addition, the bathrooms were poorly marked. We would not stay here again. The price of $32 was high for just water and electric in a tiny space. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

According to Woodalls, the site width was 35 feet. What they did not say was that two rigs use the same site. One pointed north,the other south. As a result, our door faced my neighor's door. There were only 4 feet between us. There were no tables or grills (no room for them). We really were unhappy with the facility. The roads were paved with ample clearance. They have about 6 separate sites for big rigs, the regular sites will not accomodate anything taller than a 5th wheel or motorhome. We will not use them again. One of the poorest campgrounds we have been in. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites are 2-3 feet apart, utilities are poorly located (at end of site). Very strong
sewer smell in restrooms. Very expensive. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Good nature trail to the river. Nightly rate is very reasonable when considering that the KOA just down the street is getting $47.00 per night. Overall, would return. We camped here in a camper.
