The best dog-friendly camping in Montana

·

Montana is made for adventurous dog owners with communities like Bozeman and Missoula, home to dog-friendly trails branching off city streets into the mountains. Getting off the grid with your best friend is also a cinch with 26+ million acres of public lands to explore. Established US Forest Service and BLM campgrounds are plentiful, where the truly adventurous can hit the trails and camp in the backcountry. Keep in mind that national parks and state parks can have very strict rules for pets with limited camping availability, but don’t fret— the endless array of mountain ranges in nearly every corner of the state offers abundant, dog-friendly camping opportunities. Hit the riverside and lakefront campsites during summer to keep your pooch cool and happy, and take advantage of plentiful shade in the dense forests of northwest and southwest Montana. No matter where you look, there is likely a dog-friendly campground to enjoy a getaway in nature.

Bozeman, MT · 19 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
BEFORE MAKING A RESERVATION IN MAY: The main bathroom/shower is not available until the first of June. There is porta potty on property however. PLEASE NOTE: VanGoBoon is a campground, not a RV Park! Much like a NFS campsites but close to town, with easy access off Hwy 90. There's water on the property available in several areas of the campground. Some sites have water at the site. Otherwise we are considered a "dry" campground. Welcome to our campground! We are a "Roadside" Campground that offers the convince of easy on/off access to Hwy 90 and the close proximity to Bozeman. We are adjacent to Hwy 90 and the Montana Rail System. We have a variety of options that should suit just about anyone. We are near Yellowstone National Park as well as Bozeman, MT which offers all types of recreational opportunities e.g. hiking, fishing, climbing, skiing, cycling and running trails. VanGoBoon is the perfect "Pull-in for the Night" as well as week-long stays! Most of our sites are SELF-CONTAINED. We have 4 sites that have electric and water hookups. (20,30,50amp) The lawn area has horseshoes, frisbee golf, and corn toss. We mostly offer dry campsites for overnight stays for vans, tents or RVs . Most sites are on concrete slabs so they are level and the property has grass areas with trees as well. FYI: Great site if you like trains! An important part of Montana’s commerce is transportation by rail so there will be highway and train noise. If you are a light sleeper, you may want to have noise-cancelation devices handy. Private spots between trees but near freeway for easy access. Our 2 horses have been a favorite with young campers along with the open yet private campsites! We look forward to welcoming you!
