However if you are looking for a nice place to spend the night, this is it!There is no bath house, there is no pool or doggie park, just big, beautiful open spaces and relative peace and quiet. There is some road noise but I have yet to find a place that doesn’t have road noise!We had full hookups, even though all we used was the 50 amp. And, they honor Passport America so it only cost us $20 a night!! You can’t beat that! Didn’t get to enjoy the restaurant because they were closed. But we will definitely put this spot on our favorites!

    Without reviews we never would have taken this off-ramp and had a great Montana experience. Yes, to other reviews, It is a big field but it has 50amp, water, sewer and a bucolic Montana view.

Yes, to other reviews, It is a big field but it has 50amp, water, sewer and a bucolic Montana view. We tow a car trailer and all 63’ maneuvered the lot and fit in any space. We had a fan going so we’re not bothered by freeway noise which is very light traffic overnight. The restaurant is a true mission of passion that has farm-to-table ingredients. The corn fir the chowder was picked nearby, the cherry tomatoes from the garden, and the personality of each dish was delicious. Two Budweisers, dinner for two, and a full hookups overnight = $80.We recommend this location.

  • Convenient on off I94

    It’s an ok place to stay for an over night. Not much here, no amenities. A little high priced for what you get. That being said, it was easy to get on and off the freeway and traffic noise was at a minimum. Fairly level spots with good power and water pressure. Restaurant was closed so didn’t have a chance to eat there.

The best meal of our entire road trip included chicken fried steak, fried pickles, chicken wings, steak salad, NY strip steak, hamburger, fried fish, brownie sundae, peach- rhubarb cobbler and regional beers. Friendly and efficient owners love what they do and the people they encounter. Being the only business on this exit it would be easy to pass by and forego a meal to remember. Taking a chance is what a road trip is all about. This gem is on our radar now and will be a stop for years to come. The campground is for self contained vehicles. Full hook ups.

  • Pompey's Pillar is 25 miles west, PA rate honored for one night, FHU sites

    Level, open field with 12 FHU sites (6 are 50-amp, 6 are 30-amp, we believe) for self-contained campers/rigs. No laundry, no bath house on site. TV antenna picked up four digital channels.

TV antenna picked up four digital channels. Verizon cellular coverage was very good. Interstate is not heavily traveled so there's minimal road noise. We came in on a Sunday. The restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday. Payment is made in a dropbox to the right of the restaurant. As of June 2021, they honor Passport America for one night. We confirmed this when we called and made a reservation for our stay. We visited Pompey's Pillar (25 miles west) and highly recommend it! What an exceptional piece of history and the grounds are laid out very well. Bring and apply bug spray if you plan to hike the trails near the Yellowstone River! The town of Custer is a couple of miles away (Exit 47). There is a small convenience store with gas pumps and we saw two electric car charging stations at the same store. Not sure if they are operational, but we saw the stations and sign!Two stars on "Site Quality" because the sites could be marked better and for the price of $40/night for 50-amp, they could consider more amenities like a picnic table, cable/satellite connection, or simply improving and defining each site a bit better. They may also want to consider upgrading and adding additional sites because the campground was nearly full during our visit.

    Open field with full hookup so big or small rigs will love it. There is Nothing there except the small but good restaurant which reservations are needed even though it is not fancy. Drinks take out or enjoy are their deck very very reasonable and heavy pour. Great place to stop and have some down time and enjoy family and RV time

  • Nice stopover location, should be cheaper

    Between Billings and Miles City this is a great stop for the night. It is literally less than 100 yards off the 94 Hwy. Make a quick right off 94, then another right to the right of the restaurant and you'll see 6 isles of water/power poles; 12 spots in all. I believe each pole has 1-50 amp and 1-30 amp.

Make a quick right off 94, then another right to the right of the restaurant and you'll see 6 isles of water/power poles; 12 spots in all. I believe each pole has 1-50 amp and 1-30 amp. At the time I stayed (June 2020) you didn't need reservations, most people seem to stay 1 night. All spots have water, electricity and sewer. The grass was pretty high but other than that the location was good. Some spots were not a level as others, just check before you back in. The traffic is so light that it's not any bother sleeping 75 yards from the highway. The business is run out of the restaurant so you go in there to pay. If it's late hours and the restaurant is closed you just self-pay at the station on the right side of the restaurant. $35 for 30-amp $40 for 50-amp/night. The restaurant was open when I was here in early July 2020 but with the limited hours and weekend closure I didn't get change to taste the food.There is a trash dumpster but no other amenities, you must have a self-contained RV. The price of $35/night seems a little high for no amenities but there were full hookups.There is absolutely nothing to do here except maybe walk or ride a bike. I believe there is one gas station/convenience store in Custer; about 2 miles away. No laundromat in the town, no grocery store that I could find. Other than that it's just a peaceful, full sun location.

We landed on a Saturday and they have a restaurant so we tried it. Have to make reservations on Saturday because it is very busy. Everyone knew everyone and were friendly to us. Good food and good service. The helpful person running everything directed us to go hear the music at the saloon in Custer on Saturday night. It was entertaining. There are no services other than good hookups and spacious level site. Freeway noise.
