Close to i90 so easy to find! Highly recommend!! read more

Old West Rv Park - RV Parks Near Me - Reed Point, Montana

Ivy, Jeremy and Pepper made this visit a five star experience. They are helpful, friendly, and take excellent care of this RV Park. The greatest grassy areas that would make Augusta Georgia proud. read more

We had a wonderful overnight stay at Old West RV Park. Easy access to, in and out of the park, level, and clean and the owners, Jeremy and Ivy are lovely, and dog friendly people which we and our Corgi really appreciate. The grass at the camp sites are well maintained, making it an even better experience all around for ours and his enjoyment. Will definitely stay here again when traveling I-90. Thanks for the great dinner recommendation, too! read more

Chirps Across the Continental Divide: A Love Letter to Reed Point's Little Sentinels by Antonio J. Hopson I can't explain my love for prairie dogs, but I'll try--because obsession needs witnesses. They're cute, sure, but that's just the welcome mat. What hooks me is that each one is a character: expressive, social, democratic even. In their sprawling underground neighborhoods--called towns--they share the burden of survival like a chorus line of lookouts. One squeaks a warning for a hawk; another chirps a different tune for a coyote. There's even evidence they can recognize the same human wearing different colored shirts. In the grand theater of the animal kingdom, prairie dogs don't just bark--they speak. And of all the wild creatures we've studied, only humans have a more nuanced language. For now. That's what draws me--not just their behavior, but their performance of it. So we packed a cooler, my old notebook signed by Jane Goodall (humble brag), and my partner Jenny, and drove 760 miles to Reed Point, Montana. Destination: Greycliff Prairie Dog Town State Park, a sun-drenched patch of holy ground for lovers of language, wildlife, and miracles that live in the dirt. We parked with lawn chairs and beers--the kind of setup meant more for communion than conquest. If you're lucky enough to date someone who finds rodents romantic, skip the tourist traps. Go see the real show: prairie dogs at dusk. But first: Reed Point. The town feels like time paused for a smoke and never came back. We stayed at the Old West RV Park, run by Jeremy and Ivy--two of the kindest, no-nonsense folks you'll ever meet. The place is spotless. The restrooms gleam. The grass is manicured like a country club for travelers. There's even a rusted safe, a stagecoach wheel, and a tractor that--to this city slicker--looked like a fossil from another dimension. Now, let's talk about the "Redneck" thing. I'm a Black man. Jenny's white. And yes, I know what you might be thinking: Montana? Isn't that the kind of place where people don't "see" you until they do? But not once did we feel unwelcome. Not from Jeremy. Not from Ivy. Not even from the guy with the Jeep whose license plate simply read "REDNECK." We laughed--not at it, but with it. In Reed Point, "redneck" wasn't code for hate; it was shorthand for hard work--for boots worn down by fences, and fences built up by hands. Jeremy, curious and open, asked why we drove halfway across the West to watch what many call pests. I explained--romantically, yes, but also scientifically. Prairie dogs are keystone species. Their burrows aerate soil, feed ecosystems, create homes for owls, ferrets, foxes. Sure, they're a headache for ranchers--but they're a heartbeat for the plains. Jeremy nodded, asked sharp questions. That's the thing about Montanans: they'll move toward you or away--but always honestly. He even helped us search beyond the park, pointing out access roads and public lands. We took a wrong turn--of course--and ended up right back at Greycliff. Perfect. Prairie dogs, like us, are diurnal. They nap during the day's peak heat and come alive in the golden hour--just like we did. Most folks blast past the I-90 sign, never knowing they're missing the closest thing America has to a rodent opera. Jenny and I weren't tourists. We were observers. Scientists. Lovers. We set up shop, field notebook in hand, and began cataloging: behavior, vocalizations, social dynamics. Around the park's loop, we noted distinct neighborhoods--each with its own tone and tempo. We named them: Tacoma, Medina, Bellevue, and Rainier Beach. Some had kids. Some had retirees. One was ruled by a prairie dog we dubbed "Karen"--who would not shut up about our presence. I swear she was filing a report. Jenny had seen them once as a kid, from a car window. That glimpse had imprinted on her. For me, it was more than awe. It was homecoming. Instead of teaching science, I was doing science. The behavior was textbook and thrilling. Sentry postures. Splooting. Foraging. Alarm jumps that looked like panic--or joy. The line blurs in prairie dog. Jenny cooed at every move. I tried to play the scientist. Tried. But I smiled more than I wrote. And truth be told, while these creatures are wild, they're acclimated to humans standing around watching. We stay in our lane, they stay in theirs. But you can't help but feel like you're the one in the zoo--not them. Back at the RV park, it was a fifteen-minute drive to The Water Hole Saloon read more

Old West Rv Park - Grey cliff State Park, aka, "Dogtown". - RV Parks Near Me - Reed Point, Montana

I'm always impressed by excellent service. This little RV park has few amenities but it's very well maintained and the owner is very friendly and helpful. read more

Small RV park but well kept and very friendly staff. Easy off and on I-90. We only planned to stay for one night but extended it to two because it was so nice. We are an older retired couple (50 years married) so we are not interested in pools, spas, playgrounds, etc. We appreciate hospitality and this place has that in abundance. read more

Wow, what a pleasant surprise this place was after driving all day. Extremely clean well kept grounds, spotless, bathrooms, and showers and a nice laundry. The folks running the place were very pleasant and nice. There's a great saloon down the street as well. read more

What a charming, friendly, and clean RV Park. We had a great nights stay and would definitely come back. Highly recommended. read more

This park is small, close to the "main road" in downtown Reed Point, MT. The accommodations are top notch. The gravel site was enhanced by having nice grass and plants/trees next to it. The Waterhole is a saloon/restaurant/"casino" a few blocks away, which was really quaint and fun! There's a service/gas station across the street, which was convenient. Loved our one night stay! read more

This was a great place to stop. Campground is clean. The facilities are good in a caretaker is very friendly. I wasn't fishing this trip, but it appears that this would be a great destination for it as there is a fishing access point on the river just a half a mile away. Nice are read more

Good enough for what we were looking for & the staff were very friendly. Because of COVID19, the laundry & bathrooms were closed. The saloon down the street was closed, too, which is a bummer because I wanted to try it! This place is next to the highway, so you can hear the swish of the cars going by, but it's not too bad in my opinion. We stayed at site 9, which is the farthest into this small rv park. There is a post office across the street. read more

Highly recommend this RV Park. Small, quaint and grounds are well maintained. The bathrooms are immaculate, the camp host was cleaning multiple times throughout the day. read more

We had a last minute check in and it was quick and efficient! Very clean park with pull in spots and it looks like they can do check in's 24/7. Baths were clean but only had shower curtains for privacy. Nice laundry area too. This is next to a train track so you will hear trains whistling and traveling through the night. read more

There are a few things that make us like a particular RV park: A welcoming person, good Wi-Fi, space between coaches, easy hookups, easy in and out and, if it's possible, a good view out the front window. This RV park has it all, especially the manager/owner. Talk about feeling welcome! She's great! The WiFi was terrific, lawn was plush with next door neighbors a good distance away. Water pressure was fine. This is a great place for either an overnight or multi-night stay. This is our third time here and we're scheduled to come back in September. Easy off and on the highway, only 2-3 blocks from the exit. You can hear the trains blowing their horn at all hours and the highway noise settles down at night. read more

This is a VERY small park with 19 spots right off I-90. Our pull-through site was great with free cable TV and wifi. It had a small lawn with a large picnic table. The owner told us of the Watering Hole Tavern a couple of blocks from the park that had pretty reasonably priced food. (We took her advice and had a pizza.) RV park had a problem with water drainage a few days prior to us arriving and the owner/manager kept us informed about the condition of the grounds to be sure we would be comfortable staying there. It was a great spot to stop for the night before we started the big climb up the Rockies. read more

The town of Reed Point looks like a "museum" town. Anything that is open is a museum and anything not a museum is "for sale." Even their quaint bank is a "museum piece." The only thing "out of place" is a beautiful pretty new looking POST OFFICE in town. Anyway, I stayed at this RV park for one night. The owners are really putting a lot of work into it. Nice grass between each site. Wonderful Wi-Fi. Cable selection is 25 good channels, no "junk" channels (Like QVC, etc....). Laundry and restrooms were clean. Laundry is cheap. It's so cheap if you don't have a lot of clothes to wash, I would throw clothes on the ground just to get enough for one full load! This is good for an overnight stop. Normally, I review RV parks on a different web site, but I made an exception for this one and put a review here. read more

Cute small Park with gravel level sites and shade trees with grass. Easy access to I90. Yes I can hear traffic on I90 but one fan for white noise cures that. Attentive, helpful owners. $31 with Good Sam discount for water, sewer, electric, wifi and tv. Wow. read more

The previous review is spot on, with the noise exception. I90 traffic noise and the nightly train noise and train whistle 'coming and going' made for restless nights. We stayed two nights and with sleepy eyes we had to move on. read more

I couldn't recommend this cute campground more! The owners are fantastic and more than accommodating with our unplanned, extended stay while waiting on RV parts to be shipped in. One of the cleanest laundromat and bathhouse facilities I've seen! The free cable and WiFi worked seamlessly. If ever traveling to Yellowstone and don't mind an hour and a half drive back to the RV, hit this place up! You won't be disappointed! read more

Loved this little place off the highway. Owners very helpful, and very understanding when we couldn't make our reservation until a day later due to snow in Yellowstone in June no less. She changed it with no problem to next day. Thanks Susie we really appreciated it. She also told us about the watering hole saloon for something to eat. We had a great time there. Pizza was delicious, the owner made it so relaxing we spent a couple of hours in there. Definitely a place to stay over at and enjoy the tiny town with big hospitality. read more
