Miles City KOA Journey

Our campground sits under a majestic stand of more than 50 mature Cottonwood Trees and is a short, scenic walk to where the Tongue River empties into the Yellowstone River.

Miles City KOA is located near the Tongue River and Yellowstone River and is close to the site of old Fort Keogh. Stay on the grounds where the Sioux, Cheyenne and Crow once lived, and where Captain William Clark and Sacajawea (1806) and General George Custer (1874 and 1876) once camped. Within walking distance of our campground, you'll find the Range Riders Museum, Historic Downtown Miles City, the Eastern Montana Fairgrounds, Riverside Park, the Natural Oasis Pool and the Denton Sports Complex. While Downtown, check out buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Olive Hotel (1899), where "Gus" drew his last breath in the miniseries Lonesome Dove, the Miles City Saddlery (1909) and The Historic Montana Bar (1908).

Miles City also hosts the annual Bucking Horse Sale, Bluegrass Festival and Rock, Gem and Mineral show.  There is so much to see and do for you and your family.

We now have two K9 Paw Pen sites for those traveling with dogs.  If your furry companion is in need of a bath we also offer a portable bath station we can deliver to your site free of charge!  You can freshen up your traveling companion.

If you enjoying fishing, Miles City is home to some of the best fishing in the country.  Our park is located right along the Tongue and Yellowstone Rivers.  You can fish for Trout (rainbow, cutthroat, brown and brook), Bass (small and large mouth), Walleye, Perch, Crappie, Catfish, Paddlefish, Ling and Northern Pike.

If shopping is your favorite pastime Miles City has you covered there as well!  Downtown is a 5 minute walk from our park and the historic downtown shops do not disappoint.  Vintage and Rustics has just about everything you could want, vintage shopping as well as a bakery, specialty coffee shop, and clothing and sweets.  Girl Ran Away with the Spoon is a unique stop that sells locally made art and gifts, including whimsical items.  Buy MT/Scoops is a local shop where you can buy souvenir shirts, Montana made items and they also sell hard ice cream in the back of their shop. Miles City Saddlery is a Miles City long time retailer that provides clothing, boots, hats and saddles, plus home goods as well.  They have a museum of saddles that is unmatched!

Hungry? Miles City has great food offerings! Within a 5 minute walk from the park you will find Montana Bar/Tubbs (one of the oldest bars in Montana), Tilt Wurks Brewhouse & Casino, Trails Inn/Moma Stella's Pizza (awesome pizza), 600 Cafe (a great breakfast place that opens at 6am for early risers), Hole in the Wall Family Dining, Bison Bar, Main Street Grind (coffee shop), The Remember When Cafe (located inside Vintage and Rustics), Cellar Casino, The Olive Hotel (breakfasts) and The Ugly Mug.  If you are alright with a short drive, as everything in Miles City is only 5 minutes away by car you can go to the Black Iron Grill (our fanciest restaurant with most varied menu), June's Bungalow (on way to airport), Yellowstone Tavern, Mexican Lindo (great Mexican), The Farmhouse Cafe (breakfasts), Seabeck Pizza, Uncle Mike's BBQ & Grill (in house smoked meats to die for), Gallagher's Game Time Grill, New Hunan (Chinese Food), Four B's Restaurant, Bucking Horse Saloon & Casino, and we have a City Brew Coffee shop as well.  If you are after a quick drive thru bite to eat there is a McDonalds, Taco John's, Jimmy John's, Dairy Queen, Wendy's, Arby's, and Subway.

Wine anyone? Miles City has the Tongue River Winery a short drive away.  They make wine entirely from Montana fruit and grapes that are grown right here.

For the art and history buffs Miles City has the Range Riders Museum which is a celebration of eastern Montana's history with a large display of guns and exhibits. You can easily spend all day here looking around!  The Waterworks Art Museum is also a must see.  It is located in the concrete basins of the 1910 Water Works that produced Miles City's drinking water for over 60 years.  

Across from the park (5 min walk from campground) there are public tennis courts as well as the Denton Sports complex where you can catch a baseball game or football game.  Every Saturday in the summer months at Riverside Park (5 min walk) there is a farmers market featuring local artisans and their produce and products.
