Campsite and facilities were clean and although the sites are close, they're still quite private with the greenery between sites. Other sites had great access to the creek (we still had some), but enjoyed an open area within walking distance to keep us cool during the day. Close enough to town you can grab any items you forgot, if you'd like. Highly recommend!

Beautiful campground, very well maintained, and although close to Big Sky and Bozeman has a secluded feel. Swan Creek runs along the campground close to the sites, and there is a nice easy hiking trail to a part of the creek with some beaver dams.

We stayed at site #10 and it was amazing! All sites in the upper are awesome! Direct access to the creek and both sun and shade throughout the day. The upper camp is much more laid back than the lower campsites. This is one of our favorite spots!

@johnc3063297 · Camped on Jun 28, 2025 at Campsite #7

Large spots. Beautiful creek access. Perfect.

@MichelleB91734 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #6

LOVE SWAN CREEK!!

@AlexR3373838 · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #2

We only stayed for one night, but wish we could have spent more time. Lovely secluded location with not too many people. Camp sites very private and well kept.

@JanetM5224563 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #6

Loved the sites right on the river. Camp host Carl was great and came around a couple times a day to take care of the campground and was so friendly. Bathroom were the cleanest pit toilets Ive ever been in. Quiet campground

@JackC9848296 · Camped on Jun 10, 2025 at Campsite #7

Fantastic campground! Site #7 was super close to the rushing creek, great to fall asleep to. Less shade than the other sites. 8, 9, and 10 were not as scrunched together as I might have thought, decent amount of space between them, tons of shade, so those would be great choices. Also #7 might have been the only one without a dedicated bear box, but the communal one was a very short walk. Bathroom was super clean. Road was paved and easy to get around on. Tons of ants everywhere, not shocking but something to be aware of. Mosquitoes werent terrible but theyre probably getting worse every week. Highly recommend this site and anywhere in the upper loop! Lower didnt look bad but I didnt explore it.

@JeffB8180041 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #13

Karl Weber is the best host!

@MichaelD829846 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #12

Use the Upper loop, not as busy and less road noise. Sites 7-13.

@Veronique41502 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #10

Swan creek is beautiful, quiet, and clean. Our only complaint is that the campground says that it accommodates 35 rvs which the is true except for the tree clearings on the road. Our 35 motorhome ended up getting huge scratches due to branches that were in the way. We are not happy campers!

@BarryB5514346 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #4

Camp hosts always keep the campground and outhouse sparkling. Year after year they provide great service.

@NormS1407285 · Camped on Aug 19, 2024 at Campsite #2

Sites and restrooms are meticulously maintained. Camp host was very friendly and helpful. No partiers or loud campers...it was a great stay.

@DavidT5110185 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #6

With only 13 campsites this little gem was peaceful and serene. There was running water right next to spot #6 and all the sites were just a short walk to the vaulted toilets. No host on site, but the reserved sign was up upon my arrival and the site was clean and taken care of. I would recommend this campsite to anyone who wants to get away. The nearest cell service was about 13 miles away, so if you want to be "connected" at all, then this would not be for you.

@ShaunaL1D73F92 · Camped on Jul 25, 2024 at Campsite #5

This campground is awesome! Our site was heavily wooded and very private. Our site was right next to the creek so you could here the water while in the camper at night! I would definitely stay here again!

@NicoleC4478336 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #8

Host was wonderful. Site was perfect!

@TrishW9045942 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #7

Beautiful sites. Creek running beside all of them. Some were closer to the creek than others. Very large sites. Our had no shade (007 UPPE) but the rest did. Checkout was 12 noon and checking was 2. The road is only wide enough for one vehicle. Not much space to pull over to pass if you encountered one. Nice hiking trail higher up the mountain. Clean vault toilets. Some sites had a bear box. Ours did not but there was a community box to share.

@JimG4565855 · Camped on Jun 26, 2024 at Campsite #2

Beautiful quiet spot on the creek side. Roomy site with picnic table and fire ring. Clean outhouse.

@woutervB74D46C · Camped on Jun 9, 2024 at Campsite #6

Beautiful secluded area. Very private and clean. In the middle of nature

@LanceF9ED0D1CD · Camped on Jun 3, 2024 at Campsite #11

Quiet and serene campground by a stream and in the forest. The paved road and paved trailer pad minimize rough roads. The camping facilities are well maintained and cleanly,

@ElinHCB9FD1F27 · Camped on Aug 31, 2023 at Campsite #7

Quiet and serene, and a world away from the highway. All sites are on the creek and theres a trailhead at the easternmost side of the campground.

@SteveW7867249 · Camped on Aug 21, 2023 at Campsite #6

One of my favorite campgrounds of all time. Quiet, secluded, by the creek ,very little traffic ,great spot.

@CristeenC509C4 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #10

The upper loop was quiet - few generators! The hike at Swan Creek was lovely, following the creek and the verdant under story. Also, consider hiking Karst and Beehive Basin (outside Big Sky). Karst was mostly shady and secluded. Beehive included an amazingly beautiful wildflower meadow and obtainable mountain top. The camp host at Swan Creek was extra-ordinary! Caring, efficient, helpful and making sure all campers had a great experience. You won't be disappointed if you go.

@HeatherR735151 · Camped on Aug 11, 2023 at Campsite #1

Lovely campground. Stayed in site 1.

@LindaT6530759 · Camped on Jul 11, 2023 at Campsite #11

Sites are spacious. Lots of bird activity to view with lovely wild flowers.

@ChazInSoCal - CA

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
