Itch-Kep-Pe Park

While this park isn't the prettiest place ever, you just can't beat it for the price of FREE (donations encouraged, but even then, it's a screaming deal!) There are plenty of dry camping sites for all types of campers, both pull-through and back-in, in two loops separated by a 1/2-mile gravel road. The one in the back is a bit more pri... more

Free camping is great, free camping when it's this beautiful? That is the reason I love living on the road. It was really easy to find a spot. There are two sections of the camping area, if you don't find a spot in the first area, keep driving and the second area is a little bit more secluded, which is where we stayed. We faced an open... more

Easy access about 2 miles from I90. Very friendly volunteer greeted me soon after arriving. On the weekend there was an annual community event & the area filled up. No problems, lots of nice people, lovely community. There is plenty of room. Lots of choices on where to park: under trees or in the open or away from everyone. Seve... more

Thanks to Columbus for providing a clean property with large, easy to access sites that include fire rings and picnic tables. It's just south of town on the river and quiet. No hook ups. Some great sites right on the river.

We enjoyed it a lot. We stayed near the boat ramp. They have pit toilets and water available. We enjoyed swimming in the river and just the fact that it was free. It was quiet most of the time. People tubing and coming to put boats in the river was the main traffic. They do offer free firewood also which was nice.

Free camping with no services. A very nice place with a suggested donation but no charge.

We were sad to see it’s closed but stayed nearby at firepoint.

My husband and I found Itch Kep Pe on Campendium and are very happy we did!! It gets expensive traveling from East to West coast. I wish I had found this site before we left! Itch Kep Pe is a city park that sits right along the Yellowstone River. Most free camps dont have camp host. But this one does. David and his wife Carin wer... more

The grounds themselves are very nice. We looked at the lower campgrounds and found a lovely spot by the river but unfortunately, whoever had camped there previously left a lot of trash (a whole garbage bag full) and there were ants everywhere. The lower campgrounds also seemed a little more wild, but it could've just been the crowd tha... more

The park is a little noisy, I stayed in the upper campground area. Sites are very spacious, there is alot of traffic with trucks going by doing boat tour pick ups and drop offs. At night, there are ALOT of bugs, no mosquitoes though.Train goes by but it is not too loud. Did not use toilets, but there is also potable water. Sites are le... more
