Weekend Trip to Wildhorse Trail

We enjoyed RV camping here. The site was level and the mountain view was stunning. Suzanne and Greg were very knowledgeable about RVs and helped us with 2 minor issues we had.

This Hipcamp site was great while visiting the Bozeman MT area, especially when we had to be in town a few different times. There was plenty of space and our hosts were great!

Enjoy the open space and big sky around The Bird's Nest.

5 nights at Yellowstone River Camp

This is a beautiful spot! The river is only feet away and the both sites are nice and level. It was fun watching the rafters, paddle boaters, small fishing boats launch from the beach area catty corner away and the swimmers and dogs playing in the river and on the beach. Livingston is 4 miles away and the Albertsons closer for pretty much anything you’d need. My young labbie loved chasing the birds on the sandbar. It was one of our best camp spots in the ten years we’ve been camping. Greg, the host, was great to work with. I’d def return. 5 Stars!!

We loved our stay, and Robin was super friendly. The free eggs were a nice bonus, with 5 kids, milk, cereal, and eggs is something we are always buying. The area was just gorgeous, the mountain views, and the wild life in the area was great. I pull a 44 ft 5th wheel with a crew cab long bed F350 dually and have a big passenger van, and we fit with no problems. If we are in the area again, would be happy to stay here again.
