Bozeman Hot Springs Campground

Bozeman Hot Springs Campground is a private, year-round RV park on the US-191 corridor about eight miles southwest of downtown Bozeman, Montana, and it exists for one reason: you can walk from your rig to a dozen geothermal pools next door. It merged with the old Bozeman KOA in 2016, so ignore any listing that still uses that name. It suits couples, retirees and hot-springs regulars who will soak every day, plus remote workers who need the strongest cell coverage in the state.

Why RVers stay here

Bozeman Hot Springs Campground is a private, year-round RV park on the US-191 corridor about eight miles southwest of downtown Bozeman, Montana, and it exists for one reason: you can walk from your rig to a dozen geothermal pools next door. It merged with the old Bozeman KOA in 2016, so ignore any listing that still uses that name. It suits couples, retirees and hot-springs regulars who will soak every day, plus remote workers who need the strongest cell coverage in the state.

Practically, expect 119 sites in a mix of water/electric pull-throughs and full-hookup rows with 20/30/50-amp, sewer, cable and Wi-Fi; user reports put the comfortable rig ceiling around 43 feet, but confirm your exact site. Pricing is dynamic, so quote your dates in the live booking flow rather than trusting older figures like the $152 nights some travelers reported. Two guests' hot-springs passes are included; extra adults pay per day. The trade-off is value: gravel pads and tight spacing do not match the premium, and the pools close from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, which guts a weekend visit.

  • Twelve natural hot-springs pools, indoor and outdoor, a short walk from your site, with two guest passes included in every reservation
  • Full hookups with 20/30/50-amp, sewer, cable and Wi-Fi, plus laundry, hot showers, a dump station and propane on-site
  • Excellent cell coverage on Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile, which is rare for a Montana campground
  • Eight miles from Bozeman's groceries, breweries and RV service, and on the direct road to Yellowstone's West Entrance
  • Several site categories, from shaded 30-amp back-ins to deluxe concrete-pad sites, so you can match the row to your rig
  • !Dynamic pricing lands among the most expensive campgrounds in Montana; the sites themselves are ordinary gravel pads with tight spacing
  • !The pools are closed from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday every week, so weekend-only visitors lose a full soaking day
  • !Reviews repeatedly flag noise from day visitors and late soakers, and an office that is not always staffed

Best RV Parks in Montana: Glacier Country to Yellowstone Gateway

The pitch is hard to resist: a campground with natural hot springs on-site, full hookups, and proximity to Bozeman's restaurants and breweries. Bozeman Hot Springs delivers on that promise — 119 sites with full hookups, 30/50 amp, accommodating rigs up to 43 feet at an elevation of 4,724 feet, and it stays open year-round. Read our full Bozeman Hot Springs review, or compare nearby options in our Bozeman RV parks guide.

Cell coverage here is excellent by Montana standards. Verizon 4G/5G, AT&T 4G/5G, and T-Mobile 4G/5G have all been reported as functional by multiple users, making this one of the best-connected RV parks in the state for remote workers and digital nomads.

The honest assessment comes with caveats. At roughly $152 per night in peak season, Bozeman Hot Springs is one of the most expensive campgrounds in Montana, and the reviews are genuinely mixed. Repeat visitors praise the hot springs access and the park's location, but complaints about noise — the hot springs facility attracts day visitors and late-night soakers — and the price-to-value ratio are consistent themes. The hot springs themselves are the real amenity; without them, this would be an overpriced campground in a valley with cheaper alternatives.

Bozeman RV Parks: Mountain Town Camping Done Right

Here is the headline attraction — and the headline price. Bozeman Hot Springs Campground sits on Gallatin Road (Highway 191) about eight miles southwest of downtown, and its defining feature is access to the Bozeman Hot Springs complex next door. The property includes 12 pools fed by natural underground hot springs, ranging from cool soaking temperatures up to 106 degrees. Every campground reservation includes two complimentary hot springs passes, and during peak season (May 15 through September 30), you also get a continental breakfast. After a long day of driving or hiking, walking from your site to a 104-degree mineral pool under the Montana sky is the kind of experience that justifies the camping premium — at least once.

A bit of history that confuses the booking process: Bozeman Hot Springs purchased the adjacent Bozeman KOA campground in 2016 and merged the two properties. If you search for "Bozeman KOA," you will find old listings, reviews dating back to the KOA era, and some booking sites that still reference the KOA name. It is all the same place now, operating under the Bozeman Hot Springs Campground banner. Do not waste time trying to book the KOA separately — it does not exist as an independent operation anymore.

Our verdict

Book it if daily soaking is the point of the trip and you want full hookups and strong cell service near Bozeman; skip it if the hot springs are optional, you are visiting on a weekend, or you are sensitive to noise and price.

Bozeman Hot Springs Campground: frequently asked questions

Does Bozeman Hot Springs Campground have full hookups?

Yes. The site descriptions list water/electric pull-throughs alongside several full-hookup rows with 20/30/50-amp electric, water, sewer, cable and Wi-Fi. Pick the category deliberately, because not every reservation buys the same hookup level.

How much does Bozeman Hot Springs Campground cost per night?

There is no published flat rate. The campground uses dynamic pricing, so quote your exact dates, site type and party size in the live booking flow. Two guests' hot-springs access is included; extra adults pay $15 per day and ages 4 to 17 pay $12 per day.

What is the max RV length at Bozeman Hot Springs Campground?

User reports put the maximum around 43 feet, but that is not an official figure. Confirm your specific site with the campground before booking a longer rig.

How far is Bozeman Hot Springs Campground from Yellowstone?

About 85 miles, roughly 1.5 hours, north of the West Entrance via US-191 through Gallatin Canyon. It works for a day trip, but West Yellowstone campgrounds are far closer if the park is your main goal.

Is Bozeman Hot Springs Campground open year-round?

Our guides list it as year-round, with family amenities such as the game room running May 1 through September 30 and a continental breakfast included in peak season. Confirm dates and pool hours directly for winter or shoulder-season plans.

When are the hot springs open at Bozeman Hot Springs Campground?

The pools run 6 AM to 11 PM but close from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday every week. Plan arrival and departure days around that closure.
