This park is located at the confluence of the Jefferson, Madison and Gallatin Rivers which form the headwaters of the Missouri River. It is rich in history as Lewis and Clark camped very near here in 1805 with the Corps of Discovery. It is a beautiful, relatively undeveloped park that features outdoor interpretive signs explaining the geological history as well as that of the Native Americans and white settlers who came through this area. There are many scenic hiking trails and a nice day use area. Some of the campsites lie right along the Madison River. My indication of the number of campsites is an estimate - there are not very many. It is open May 1 - September 30 and is not suitable for big rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice but typical KOA we used on the way out west. The campground sits in a relatively quiet area well away from the interstate. All the sites we saw were level and reasonably large for a KOA. The owner, and staff were pleasant, and the park appeared clean and well maintained. The only minor complaint was that the small pool was ice cold, especially for September 1st. Wifi did not work at the edges of the park, but a short walk to a vacant table at another site provided some connection. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
The best overnight stop on this trip. Nice grassy pull thru site, very long. The grounds are landscaped beautifully. We would definitely stop here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This KOA is top-notch. The whole campground is like a highly manicured and well-groomed park. The owners were pleasant and helpful and everything worked as advertised. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground has wide, grassy, and well-shaded sites. The facilities and equipment were clean, well-kept, and in working order. Park staff were pleasant and responsive. The modem hook-up is in the office. This is a truly restful and relaxing park. We paid the KOA Value Card rate, which included local taxes. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Lovely Park. Main issue is with no enforcement for rules for dogs. People do not pick up after dogs nor do they take them to the dog walk. The dogs are not kept on 6 foot leash but usually a 20' leash. It is very frightening to try to walk and have a dog bound at you on a twenty foot leash, which can go to the interior road, barking & snarling. It is also disgusting to look out your front window to a beautiful view and see a large dog doing it's business instead. Won't return because of this. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here for three nights, and would recommend this park. Staff are helpful and friendly and the owners, Tom and Sarah very nice. Lots of shade trees and near Wheat Montana (the best place to have breakfast and lunch with the best bakery goods and breads around. Also, good for a trip to the Missouri Headwaters State Park where the Madison, Gallatin and Jefferson Rivers form the Missouri River. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
This is not a typical KOA. It is like a private park. It is not open in winter. It is a green oasis on the open plains. It has lots of mature trees and there are no trees in the area. The owners are friendly & share their petting zoo. The headwaters of the Missouri River is near. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very nice KOA. According to the owners they have had this KOA for 30 years. There are many full grown trees and a lot of shade. This KOA is about 1 mile off the expressway, but the noise doesn't seem to travel. What you do hear is the crowing of the roosters that the owners have. Lots of chickens running around in the back of the full-service area. The owners also have horses. This campground also has hand-dipped ice cream in about 6-8 flavors which are EXCELLENT! This is one KOA I would definitely stay at again when in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The lower rating is based on the size restrictions in the park - we live in a 40' MH and the very, very narrow interior roads and quantity of trees made getting in & out very, very difficult. We needed a place to park overnight. The staff was nice, but overwhelmed at the time we checked in. The park is clean & well cared for. Some of the trees need to be cut higher - we definitely cuddled with some - it appeared it wasn't a tree expert that did what cutting has been done. Our satellites worked from one of the W/E only sites, which was cool. Comments I overheard indicate computer hookups are not going to be a priority with the owner. This is a family camper campground, not for full-timers in big-rigs. Which is great - it's just not us. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Quiet campground in a pretty setting near the Jefferson River and Missouri Headwaters State Park. Friendly, helpful owners keep the park spotless. Great place to take a break from I-90. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
