Bear Canyon Campground

We stayed at Bear Canyon in our camper for a soccer tournament. It was a fraction of the price a hotel room in Bozeman would have cost us. Very friendly and helpful staff! Bathrooms and showers were tidy. The pool was heated to a pleasant enough temp that it was comfortable swimming in 70 degree weather. The only downfall was the proximity to the train tracks and hearing them at night, but they give free ear plugs upon check in. :)

The RV sites are TINY, like maybe 5 or so feet between. The pool and playground are great, as is the elevated view of Bozeman/Bridger for sunsets. Bathrooms and showers not very clean or updated, both way too small for a campground of this size - shocking they haven't been updated/expanded for how full this park is + prices they are charging. Front desk very helpful, all told, but prices still high for what you're getting. Bozeman was pretty booked up, even months in advance, so the price was OK relative to nearby RV parks. About 8-10 minutes drive into Bozeman and also close to southern trailheads, so if you're using this to launch south into the mountains, you could do worse. We read about loud train whistles coming through, but it wasn't that disruptive at all - maybe heard it once or twice, and the kids sleep with sound machines so it didn't affect them. Overall, would shoot for another park with more space + cleaner/larger/updated shower facilities. Pool and playground major pluses though.

We cannot say enough good things about this campground and staff. We were on our way to Yellowstone when our truck broke down on the top of Bozeman Pass. We had no idea what to do. Our roadside assistance helped us find this campground to get the camper to while our truck got fixed. The staff was so amazing and kind. Not only did they help us get a site but they found a site for our parents camper as well, as they were traveling with us. We weren't sure when our truck would be fixed or how soon we could be out of the campground. They made us feel incredibly welcomed and they did not push us out, they just said to keep them updated. It's a nice campground. It is near the train tracks but it wasn't too bad. There do seem to be a decent amount of long term people but that was no big deal. We felt safe there. Thank you again for your kindness!

We stayed here for 1 night as we passed through on our way to Yellowstone. The front desk welcomed us and were very friendly. Check in only took a few mins. We stayed in one of the back in spots. We had power and water. There were a few RVs that look like they are long term. As well as lots of cars coming in and out. But overall it did not bother us and we had a good stay and it was quiet at night.

The campground was full of apparent homeless and workers and long term residents! Many slept in their trucks! One guys car is on blocks! Not a bad looking place with views of he hills but We felt unsafe leaving our adult daughter there alone! They sell outsider passes for the pool so there are a bunch of kids in the pool not from he campground! Not My favorite place!

Excellent place to call home while living in an RV. Beautiful well maintained grounds and facilities.

This is a nice park overall. The reason for the 3 star rating is the space provided for the $50/night electric/water only back in sites. You can’t use your awning as you have to park your tow vehicle beside your unit. Location is great, just need more space for the money.

My family lives in this campgrounds RV / trailer park, it's not just a campground it's also a trailer park where you can put your trailer or rent a trailer I believe pretty easy to find especially if you type it into Google Maps and they it leads you right to the trailer park in the least amount of traffic it's not a bad place seems like a good neighborhood for the kids.!

I've read a few reviews and felt I should leave one as well. A few reviews commented on the train noise. Yes for sure there are trains that frequent through the night. We carry a sound machine in our RV, and that definitely helped. But don't let the train noise keep you from this campground. The staff is very hospitable, and the grounds are well kept. The price is very reasonable. The location is very convenient to Bozeman and plenty of trailheads if you like to hike. I would recommend it as long as you can deal with the train noise.

Very nice place. Sites are a little small. The views are amazing!
