We stayed here for 3 nights as it was the closest park to the Beartooth Scenic Byway. The staff was very friendly and informative. This campground has an upper level with pull-through and back-in Water and Electric sites (50 amp service, no shade) and river-side sites with mostly 30 amp service. We elected to stay on the upper level where we could get satellite reception. The campground is well maintained as the owner has put in a lot of sod and gravel. However, we did have difficulty in leveling and had to move from site 6 to site 4. We never could get "real" level" however. The upper sites are very narrow. The lower ones appear to be somewhat larger. The prime sites on the lower level back up to the river. Overall, the park is very attractive because of its location south of town and there are great views in all directions. We will return here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent RV park and campground with plenty of sites right by Rock Creek with electricity and water hook-ups. Convenient public restrooms and showers that are very clean. Convenient RV dump station and trash receptacle on the way out. Lots of shade. The only negative is that there are no fire rings and no wood fires allowed. But there is a common area close to a couple of the cabins with two grills and a fire pit. Also a swing, meant for really little ones. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

New owner has done lots of work on sites, trees trimmed, new gravel in pads and on road. Camping area near the river is out of sight/sound from highway, lots of trees, not cramped. Relaxing, enjoyable experience. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Definitely a campground. W/E sites, no sewer. Dump station available. Dirt roads and gravel sites. Lots of trees. River nearly unaccessable. Trees and limbs need to be trimmed back at all sites and entrance to creek side sites. A very quiet setting. Wildlife in the park. Bear was reported just down the creek. Recommend big rigs stay on upper level. Upper level has daytime highway noise. Park is on Beartooth Scenic Highway! Verizon wireless worked good here! We camped here in a Motorhome.
There are very few full-hookup campgrounds in this area. We did not miss having cable TV because of the beauty and attractions of this area. This KOA had everything else that we look for in a campground though. The owner was very helpful and made sure we liked our site. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a typical aging KOA with owners trying to pocket a few more dollars before investing anything back in the facility. At first glance you could mistake the place for a junkyard. Sites are poorly arranged, unlevel, and often muddy. We had a reservation and after seeing the place opted to leave. Refund? - you must be kidding!. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place is only useful because it is the only game in town with full hookups and at that had to take a 30 amp site because not many have 50 amp. I have been on the road for 3 months now and this is the most unsightly and dirty campground I have stayed in. This place looks like no one has done any maintenance around here in years. Right next to my RV site was where they do work such as repair picnic tables,etc. It looked like a junk pile with all the trash and parts laying around. The only grass I saw was dead grass. Sites where others had stayed still had trash laying around after they left for the 4 days I stayed there. Only good thing I can say about this place is that owners were friendly and helpful on check-in and if you like to ride motorcycles on Beartooth and Chief Joseph Hwy like I do, it is a place to stay. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed to bring a guest out to the motorhome because the place looks like a dump. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Staff very friendly. Sites minimal at best, little grass/weeds, only 1 with concrete patio, well spaced. Be aware entrance one lane and very few full hookup sites, even fewer 50A. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground with good shade trees, we were next to a small brook which added some nice ambience. The pool was very clean as were the bathrooms. We pulled in late after the office closed and another camper was in my brother's site, he contacted the owner, who promptly got the other camper to move to his correct site. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Very tight to get into the so called pull through with my 40' motorhome. Had to unhook tow car. Sites were dirt. Staff was very friendly. No sewer hookup were available. I wanted to dump my tanks when I left but the dump station tank was full. I was directed to a full hookup site that was just vacated and was able to dump there. However I had to back up 60 feet while hooked to my tow car to be able to access the full hook up site to dump. I was not a happy camper. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed in this KOA for the past 3 summers. It is our favorite KOA, and it has new
owners in 2004 who are just as nice as the previous family. Everything is spotlessly clean. We have a large motorhome and while getting in and out can be slow, parking is readily accomplished. Nice plae to stay in Red Lodge or to use as a jumping off point for the Beartooth Pass area - to see America's most beautiful drive. We camped here in a Motorhome.
