Livingston, Montana Campground | Livingston / Paradise Valley KOA

Relax, rejuvenate, reconnect on the Yellowstone River in beautiful Paradise Valley. Your gateway to Yellowstone National Park!

Here at the Livingston/Paradise Valley KOA, things are more relaxed with a genuine Montana feel. Built in 1967, our KOA still has some of that old charm. Something that we pride ourselves on as we work on updating the campground attempting to keep what makes this place charming while updating what requires attention. What we lack in modern amenities we make up in true Montana hospitality and views. This award-winning KOA boasts 500 feet of Yellowstone River frontage in one of the most beautiful valleys in the world. Just 9 miles south of I-90 and 40 miles north of Yellowstone, this KOA is a great base camp for exploring the National Park. Reserve one of the Deluxe Cabins or Deluxe RV Patio Sites right on the river. Or park your RV in one of the mountain-view Pull-Thru RV Sites. Just minutes away, you'll find hiking, biking and horseback riding. Historic Livingston hosts a true Montana rodeo, fine dining, live music and museums. Limited services April 1st - April 30th & October 1st - October 15th. Pool and Breakfast: Memorial Day Weekend - Labor Day Weekend. Your host: Gregory Lesky. The road getting to our KOA is, at times, a little rough. The state is planning to redo the road, but that project is a few years out. If you take your time and drive slowly, it shouldn't be too bad.

Nice clean place right on the river. The manager does a really nice job, and keeps the place nice. 11/14/2020

We were in cabin 18 and really enjoyed being back in the woods. We liked the mini electric fireplace. It was nice to have a couple's cabin. Although, we don't know if we'll ever get your way again, we certainly would stay at your KOA if we do. 11/6/2020

Top notch as always!! 10/22/2020

Very nice park next to a stream. Only stayed one night as we were headed to Glacier. Easy to get to for big rigs and off the highway so it was quiet. 10/18/2020

This is a great KOA to stay, if you’re only staying as an overnighter or an extended stay. I knew right away this was going to be good by adding 4 more nights to my original 4. There are a lot of things to do and see within a hour ride. The town has much to offer... 10/16/2020

Awesome stay, great place 10/7/2020

We couldn't be happier. Sadly our 7 day trip was cut short to a two day trip due to family emergency. The team at KOA was so helpful, we would come back again 10/6/2020

We had to cut our stay short. Had a death in our family and had to go home...no refund for the nights we could not stay because we paid cash... guess credit wouldn’t have mattered? This was our second visit and never coming back 10/3/2020

This is a beautiful campground, with lots of trees, sitting next to the Yellowstone River. I would rate it higher, but the downside is that some of the campsites are a little too close together. In my case... 10/3/2020

Thank you for letting us change our reservation on the last day from a lot to a cabin. Staff was friendly, we were in and out most the time viewing Yellowstone, this is the 2nd time we stayed here. 10/3/2020

one night in a 40-ft class A motorhome with full hook-ups.. Easy to get into a pull through.Near the river, lots of trees. Very peaceful. 10/3/2020

Staff was very nice and helpful. When they walked by our campsite, they would chat and that was refreshing. The bathrooms were always clean. The campground was quite with the amount of campers. I enjoyed being able to walk down the the Yellowstone river. 10/2/2020

Nice people, clean restrooms and grounds. Will be back again. 10/2/2020

River was beautiful. Staff friendly and helpful. Bathrooms clean. It was great! 10/1/2020

Nice place. Will stay there again. 10/1/2020

You can also fish the spring creeks in Paradise Valley, or head to the Madison and Gallatin Rivers in the surrounding area.
