Bear Canyon Campground

The sites are really narrow, our slide out was literally over the bench of our neighbor's picnic table (we talked to them and it was just a couple, we were both only staying 1 night, so they didn't care about the table), and it wouldn't have been possible to put the awning out. The pool was nice and warm. The views are nice. It was quiet.

Nice looking campground overall. Well maintained, but had a bad service experience. They have laundry facilities but the times are pretty restrictive. They're locked until the office opens at 9 a.m. ,check out is at 11 a.m. Staff running the place on Saturday (two teenagers) don't actually show up until ~1020, looks like they came in late with coffee. May just be a one off bad experience, but extremely annoying when you paid over $70/night for a spot and you're trying to do something as simple as get laundry done before leaving.

We loved Bear Canyon! Site was level and shaded. The views from this hilltop are gorgeous. The location is so convenient to all the things we came get for. We enjoyed renting DVDs for only $2! The owners are fantastic, friendly people eager to advise and help. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Only negatives-poor TV channels w/just antenna, and occasional trains. But I sleep with ear plugs and if you have your AC on in this summer heat, you don’t even hear them. Highly recommend.

Right off I90 a few miles before Bozeman. 1 hour to Big Sky. 1 and a half hours to West Yellowstone entrance. 30 minutes to Palisades Falls. Easy on and off. Great sites with beautiful mountain views and a great little pool to take a dip in after a long day of hiking. Very friendly staff with a cute little gift shop on site. Some freeway and train noise, but nothing to stop a relaxing stay. Such a great base camp spot for traveling. I would stay anytime passing through MT on 190.

A little pricey but they have laundry and full service hookups. Trains are very close and the lots are right next to each other. But it was a good place to get free showers and swim. It's a great place to get away from the busy main street. No stores within walking distance.
