From jct US 191 & I-90: Go 4 mi E on I-90 (exit 313), then 1 block S on Bear Canyon Rd.
We were just passing through and it was perfect for what we needed. It is close to the highway so there is car and train noise (this didn’t bother me, I live in south St Louis city so I’m used to that and more lol). The kid at the front desk was very helpful and kind. The tent sites are kind of in a field without necessarily designated sites. There are also no fire rings to make a campfire which was disappointing but not a big deal as we were just there for a night. The bathrooms and showers are nice. It’s close to downtown so we were able to check out some Bozeman bars and then settle in at the camp. Overall, great experience.
Well, after coming on here to write a review I see that most campers have the same experience. Only wish I would've read the reviews prior to spending over $200.00 for 2 nights. As everyone else states the spots are tiny. There is no room to just sit and enjoy your time as the next door neighbor is almost on top of you and their sewer pipe is just feet away from the picnic table. Our spot had numerous cigarette butts, old and new, bits of little trash and chunks of rubber strewn about. The pool was okay and the location was good. We will be traveling from Wyoming to Bozeman regularly but will take this campground off our list. Shameful to charge what they charge for what you get. Have stayed in campgrounds that blow this one away in the Black Hills (SD) for less.
Bear Canyon Campground is conveniently located. The staff are friendly and accommodating. We didn't use the pool, but it looked inviting. We've stayed at this campground a few times. The only downside is the train. If you can put a fan on or use a noise machine that can help drown out the noise. We'll stay again.
Excellent place to stay. Very clean, friendly staff. Clean bathrooms and showers. Spaces are very close together but still very nice. It has a very nice clean swimming pool. Close to downtown to go explore some nice restaurants, we went to Montana Ale Works…excellent Huckleberry Mule, fish and chips, several beers and my boyfriend had the meatloaf, my niece had a bison burger. Definitely would recommend staying here. Go enjoy Bozeman!!!
