The sites were clean and level, the hosts were fantastic, and everyone was friendly. Our first night was at a site near one of the trout ponds. On our return night, we were in a back-in site that was next to the river. Beautiful setting and we could really see the stars at night. The sites can be a fairly close together, but everyone was quiet. The campground had a musician one of the nights, playing a great set of acoustic rock and country. The campground is a few minutes south of town, but only about 5 minutes from the freeway. It is worth getting away from the highway noise. Phone coverage seemed decent. We had water and electric. There wasn't sewer at our sites, but the dump station was easy to stop at on our way out of the campground.

  • Great place to relax (and fish if you want to as well)

There are still 12 full hook up sites, 7 seasonal sites, 17 water and electric 30 amp sites, and 21 water and electric 50 amp sites. There is a dump station available for the w/e sites. Most sites are back in, but a few are pull through sites. There are 4 cabins, an area for tents, a large pavilion, two fishing ponds, restrooms, showers, and a laundry. The camp store is stocked with snacks, ice cream and souvenirs. Last time we were here, the cell service was minimal; it is much stronger now. The campground WiFi worked well this time too, even though the campground was very full. There is plenty of space for pet walking. The staff was very helpful and escort all guests to their sites. The Boulder River flows right past the campground. One new guideline is that since the state now stocks the fishing ponds, the fishing is free, but now you have to have a state fishing license. Yes, we would definitely return again.

  • Nice overnight stay, would have been glad to stay longer...

The campground wasn't super-convenient to I-90, but that also made it quieter with a more out-in-nature feel. We got the last site along the river. The river noise and view were very relaxing. Once we arrived (we had made a reservation), we were promptly escorted to our campsite by a woman. Our site was a tight fit for our 26-ft camper, but she was expert at helping us make it work. There are two stocked trout ponds there, but we didn't fish either one of them. Enjoyed the electricity for ac in the heat of the day, but were able to turn the ac off as the evening came on. Temperatures were in the upper 90s everywhere around Billings, so we were happy to get a very nearly last-minute reservation at this campground. If we had run into any of the political displays another reviewer had mentioned, it would have colored our perception of our stay differently. Happily that wasn't anything that came up. We were able to simply enjoy this lovely campground. We would definitely consider going back for several nights if we could get a site directly on the river again. Some river-front sites were much larger than others. Ours was one of the smaller ones, but again, we were happy to have it!

Either end of the campground had shaded grassy areas while the center was graveled without shade. The bathhouses are adequate with the original one being pretty tight and aged. There are two stocked trout ponds fished by many. One camper learned quickly dogs are not allowed to wade in the pond. Location: fairly close to Big Timber but not walkable. Nestled in trees along Spring Creek, not visible from the road. Town of Big Timber very quaint and friendly folks and businesses. Connectivity: Due to being surrounded by mountains, cell service was very minimal. However in town AT&T, T Mobile and Verizon were 5G and fast.Activities: had a wonderful 2 hour trail ride from a nearby horseback outfitter; enjoyed the Sweetwater Festival in town with vendors and car show.

    Picture perfect river running down beside us all night. The rapids drown out all sounds of anything outside nature. Get here early they were closing the gate at 6:00

Needed a pull-through site for one night and a place to do laundry. This CG was nice and well maintained. They assign you spots but ask ahead of time what you require. The spots that were right along the river were really nice and, if we had been staying longer, would have been willing to pay extra for those full-hook up sites.The CG was pretty full and mostly big rigs. Looked like people spend quite a long time at the CG, maybe even the season. It was pretty convenient to the little town of Big Timber. We had a site with W/E but not sewer. Had planned to use the dump (even though it was only one-night's worth of gray/black) as we weren't certain of our next stop. Unfortunately, someone pulled in right before we got there and they had no idea what they were doing so we left without dumping. Would probably be better to have the dump station inside the CG gate so random people (even though there is a sign) can't use it. This RV did not look like it had stayed at the CG.

    We stayed there twice one night each. We were escorted by a grumpy man who was either an owner or manager. When I go camping I’m trying to get away from controversy.

I don’t care what party you like but could we at least keep stuff like this out of campgrounds. I won’t be back.

Two in site 16 and one in site 61.The park is well laid out with multiple stocked trout ponds for fishing as well as wide open grassy area's. Cell coverage was extremely limited and the park wifi was a bit iffy. The sites lacked sewer, but that's a byproduct of being able to be so close to the river. There is a dump station on site. For the sites - Site 16 - Touted as the best site in the park and they really aren't wrong. It's right on the river, about 6 feet out your front door. If you have young kids, something to keep in mind. The river was moving at flood stage so it was incredibly loud, this of course isn't the park owners doing so no take away on ratings for that. The only very minor complaint, the hookup for water/power is on the wrong site of the site so you need a very very long hose/power cord or you have to be very far forward in the site.Site 61 - This is a great location, grassy, quiet and at the edge of the park. Well shaded, comfortable and very spacious.

  • Nice campground along the river.

    We stayed in the dry camping circle. Camp spot on the river with picnic table and fire ring. Very clean restrooms and showers. Nice place ground and fishing pods. Easy drive to Big Timber.

Maybe, in a different site. This is a sweet campground in the middle of nowhere and when I read good WiFi, we were hooked as we had some business to take care of. We called and requested Site 6 overlooking the river. Sites 1-13 are gravel, dusty and much too snug and as seasoned travelers, we should have known better. Exhausted after a long day we arrived early evening and enjoyed the serene river view. The next morning, however, the quads used by the park continually made their way between Registration and the owner's residence hauling wood. This ran just a few yards in front of our rig, about every 7-8 minutes. Along with the quads came the dust. Normally we would request a change in site, but after a couple of hours we packed up and hit the highway as the Wifi was not worthwhile.Sites 1-13 are definitely too tight. Kudos to the resort for not filling in the spots in between. If you choose Spring Creek Campground, do not be lured into river sites 1-13.

Lovely setting among the trees. FHU sites are back-in and tighter than the long pull-through with water/electric. Our site was huge and 20 yards from the rushing river. You can hear it all night, wonderful. Small trout ponds on site - they will supply you with everything from poles to bait, two fish per person per day, no catch and release. They even clean the fish for you. We didn't fish the ponds but the kids were pulling them out like crazy. Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean and quiet. Gate locks at 10 pm, opens at 6 am. Showers and restrooms. A few rental cabins on the river side. Be sure to eat at the Thirsty Turtle - fabulous menu! Natural Bridge State Park and Gallatin National Forest 20 miles south.Our ATT mifi didn't work, but their WiFi is better than most. It worked well except for the peak hours. Our satellite worked fine until the winds kicked up.We're staying there again in a week - so yes, we like it a lot.
