Eagle Mountain Retreat RV site

Camp under the stars in Big Sky country. See deer, wild turkeys, an occasional eagle and other birds. RV parking with 30 amp electric hookup. 1/2 mile from Yellowstone river and just 2 miles from fishing access. Close enough to take a day trip to Yellowstone National park. Nice and quiet except for the occasional train that's a ways away but most people say it's not a problem at all.

After a long day, there's nothing like it. 

Trees, Lake view, Rock buttes!

4 miles from Billings. 1000 acres. We try to keep things as natural as possible except we do mow the common area in the trees. For security reasons, we will meet you at the gates and escort you to your camping spot upon 1st arrival.  Fire wood available for sale $10 - needs to be discussed before hand.  Camping available on the butte for viewing of northern lights. Lots of room to explore. Long term camping is available. 1 porta-potty on site.  There is 1 mile of dirt road after leaving the pavement. We are 6 miles from Walmart. This is a working cattle ranch and the cows come through time to time. The listing computer keeps putting us in LOCKWOOD but we are actually 3 miles north of Billings. Last minute bookings are fine, if we are around -we will let you stay. We live 1 mile from the camp site and 2 miles from the gates where we will meet you. If you are looking for a RV park or campground - this is not it.  We have cows, birds, wild animals and dirt roads. There is no power but we could hook you up to a generator if needed. There is a new camper on site that may be rented ( owned by a different party) message us for details. The morning of you arrival, please send an ETA so we know how to plan our day, then give us a 30 minute heads up before arrival so we can meet you at the gates. Sometimes we also are 30 minutes away. A lot of the time you may be the only campers out here.

Cowtown Ranch

110 Acre ranch nestled between the Pryor Mountains  & the Beartooth Mountains gateway to Yellowstone Nat'l Park

Big Sky Vistas

Peaceful and quiet surrounded by lots of wildflowers, wildlife, and the pleasant aroma of sagebrush.  Parking area is reasonably flat.  Remote subdivision on 4500-foot ridge, 10 miles from Columbus exit 408, off of Interstate 90.  Your camping spot is near the road for easy access, but the road is private and dead-ends just beyond my property, so traffic is very minimal.

I aim to treat all my guests as if you were a long-time friend.  I try to be your personal concierge, so anything you need or want to know, just ask.
