Pheasant's Hideaway

2 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Billings, MT

Come enjoy a quiet night on 2 acres just outside of the busy city of Billings. It feels like country living but is just minutes to downtown shopping and everything else the city has to offer. Located with easy access to the I-90. Stop to rest your eyes or stay a while and enjoy the big city life and rich history of this part of Montana. We have a fire ring for those chilly evenings. 15, 30 and 50 amp electric hookups with Sewer and potable water connections at your site. Most mornings can be greated by pheasants, deer and rabbits. On the lucky occasion one might see an owl. DanWalt gardens just two houses down the road is the best way to enjoy your cup of coffee in the morning.

Big Sky Vistas

10 sites · RVs, Tents20 acres · Columbus, MT

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.

Camping near Billings guide

Overview

If you're looking for adventure in Big Sky Country, head to Billings in south central Montana. Billings is the state's largest city and sits about 4 hours from state capital Helena. The mighty Yellowstone River runs along the city's east and south borders.

Yellowstone National Park is a three-hour drive to the southwest. If you're traveling by vehicle, definitely take I-90 to the Beartooth Highway to get there. This breathtaking scenic route takes you through gorgeous high-altitude alpine country. Stop by beautiful Beartooth Lake for waterfront tent and cabin camping on the way.

Are you coming to Billings in an RV? Billings Village RV Park makes a pretty convenient layover stop if you're staying in the city proper. Here you'll find 75 spaces with full electrical hookups and Wi-Fi. Lake Elmo State Park is also within city limits. This relaxing park offers access to calmer waters than those of the Yellowstone River.

War history buffs might be interested in a visit to Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. This area marks the infamous spot of Custer's Last Stand. In addition to its historic relevance, this area is rich in reptile and amphibian wildlife. Bring your binoculars along for a chance at spotting some rare species.
