Loch Leven Fishing Access Site

If you’re coming here on the weekend be aware of the Bozeman party crowd are very disruptive and disrespectful. I had to call law-enforcement three different times in one night regarding their behavior including disturbing the peace, letting their dogs run And bark all night but don’t plan on getting a site during the week either because they come up here and put their name on the on the site but don’t show up until the weekend.

There's a lot of negative reviews here... but we absolutely loved this spot. We're from flat Houston, Texas so I guess a campsite with beautiful 360 snow-capped mountain views and right on the Yellowstone river can't really be beat. We got campsite #9 which seemed like one of the best-- right on the river, and one of the few with shade. Prices are $18/night, or $12/night if someone in your group has a Montana fishing license. Good cell signal. We have a 30 ft. travel trailer, and a 20 ft long F250 SuperDuty, and didn't feel like it was too tight to drive through or get the rig in at all. Only issue we had is that it got very windy every afternoon... One of the days we had gusts up to 65mph. So just watch your outdoor stuff/awnings, etc. Gets packed on the weekends in summer, so getting there early to mid-week is best. Little over an hour from the Yellowstone North Entrance, about 30 minutes from nearest big town-- Livingston, MT.

This is a very basic fishing campground on the Yellowstone River. We needed a one night stay between Yellowstone and Bozeman airport...it served it’s purpose. We took one of the 3 sites left when we arrived and had to listen to someone run their ungodly loud generator the entire night. The couple across from us got into a heated and disturbing fight at 11pm, which ruined the energy and mood of everyone at our site. The upside is, we were able to see the moon, Big Dipper, Milky Way and a comet all in the giant sky above us. I’d go back in a pinch, but wouldn’t make a point to return. Sites are pretty small, vault toilet and boat ramp.

We were able to scout this area before bringing our rig in. First of all, it is about 15 miles from the main road (89) and is in farmland which would be great except...when we got there we were happy not to have our rig with us.
The camping area is small and crowded, the sites are small, there are a couple of sites you could squeeze (and I'm literally mean squeeze) into if you have a bigger rig but this is not spacious at all. We drove through the campground with our Ford F350 and it felt super tight just in the truck.
The photos posted are deceiving, where that camper is, IS NOT the campground it is the day use area.
So beware if you have a big rig.
Sorry no photos to post, we were so disappointed that we just wanted to leave.

The first photos posted are from 2014, they have since then modified the camping area so it is not just open space anymore.

Really nice campsite and the previous review was spot on. You can see road traffic on the other side of the river so there was road noise which was noticeable but not bad, and it was very quiet at night. Vehicles pulling boat trailers to the fishing access site during the day is another story.
Pull through sites big that are well-suited for bigger rigs.
Pack it in, pack it out.
The raptor show here has been great.
The road coming in is gravel, dusty and on my arrival, quite washboard - good reasons to take it slow.
BTW, I took a ride up to Pine Creek Campground which isn't too far from this site. Those folks with bigger rigs who have gone up that way are a heckuva lot braver than I am. Very narrow, winding, and steep road. Once up there though, it is really beautiful.
