Campgrounds near Livingston, Montana
Livingston sits at the north end of Paradise Valley in south-central Montana, where the Yellowstone River exits the mountains and turns east toward the plains. The town is a common staging point for RV travelers heading to Yellowstone National Park. The Livingston / Paradise Valley KOA Holiday sits along the Yellowstone River in Paradise Valley at the foot of the Absaroka range, and the North Entrance to Yellowstone at Gardiner is a straight run south down US Highway 89.
RV options cluster in three bands. In town, Livingston Campground and Osens RV Park and Campground offer easy interstate access off I-90, with Osens operating year-round on limited winter services. South along Highway 89, Livingston / Paradise Valley KOA Holiday and Yellowstone's Edge RV Park put campers on the river itself, with Yellowstone's Edge advertising roughly 3,000 feet of Yellowstone River frontage. West toward Bozeman, Bear Canyon Campground works as an overnight stop for travelers arriving from that direction.
Between Yellowstone National Park to the south and Livingston to the north, the Paradise Valley corridor is anchored by the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness and the Yellowstone River itself.
Things to do near Livingston
The Yellowstone River is the main draw. It carries roughly 150 miles of blue-ribbon trout water from Gardiner toward Billings, and guided float trips, wade fishing, and rafting all run out of Livingston. Boat-accessible put-ins are spaced roughly every five miles between Gardiner and just east of Livingston, then closer to every ten miles downstream, which makes half-day and full-day floats easy to plan.
Beyond the water, Yellowstone National Park's North Entrance at Gardiner is roughly an hour south down US 89. Hiking trails climb into the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness from the Pine Creek and Mill Creek drainages. In town, families can visit the Yellowstone Gateway Museum and the historic downtown, and the Livingston Roundup Rodeo typically runs as a three-day event over the July 4th holiday.

Peak season runs from late May through mid-September, driven by school breaks and Yellowstone visitation. Private riverfront parks in Paradise Valley run a similar window: Yellowstone's Edge RV Park operates May 1 through October 10, and Livingston / Paradise Valley KOA Holiday typically opens in May and closes in October. In-town Osens RV Park and Campground stays open year-round with reduced services during the winter months.
Spring is the wettest stretch and coincides with Yellowstone River runoff. The main Yellowstone fishes well much of the year, but the late spring snowmelt in May and June muddies the river and shuts down most float fishing until flows drop in late June. Public fishing-access campgrounds run by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, including Mallard's Rest just south of Livingston, are first-come, first-served and fill fast on summer weekends.
Fall brings cooler temperatures, thinner crowds, and strong fishing. Winter is cold and windy across the valley, with many private riverfront parks closed and Yellowstone's interior roads restricted to over-snow travel.
Top Hosts near Livingston, MT
Bob made it super easy for us to rent a van. We have never done anything like this before and Bob made us feel comfortable and confident in our adventures. He was available for any questions or concerns and gave advice on where to find animals! We will definitely use Bob again!

How to book a campground near Livingston
Private RV parks take reservations directly through their own websites. Livingston / Paradise Valley KOA Holiday books through the KOA reservation system, and Yellowstone's Edge RV Park uses its own online reservation form. For peak summer weekends and any dates around the July 4th rodeo weekend, book several months ahead, since river-frontage sites are the first to go.
Public fishing-access campgrounds run by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks operate differently. Most charge a nightly camping fee that must be paid on site in cash or by check, and reservations are generally not offered. Arriving mid-week or before noon improves the odds of getting a site at popular access points such as Mallard's Rest, Loch Leven, and Pine Creek.
For campgrounds inside Yellowstone National Park, reservations run through Recreation.gov or Yellowstone National Park Lodges depending on the specific campground.
What to expect on the ground
Expect a mix of interstate travelers and Yellowstone-bound families, especially at the KOA and the riverfront parks. Sites at Livingston / Paradise Valley KOA Holiday and Yellowstone's Edge RV Park sit directly on the Yellowstone, with river-frontage sites at a premium and often booked out first. The access road to the KOA off Highway 89 is state-maintained and can be rough in spots, so long rigs should take Pine Creek Road slowly.
Wind is a constant. Afternoon gusts through Paradise Valley regularly reach highway-driving concern levels, especially in spring and fall. Secure awnings and check forecasts before towing on US 89.
This is bear country. Grizzly and black bears both live in the surrounding mountains, and while valley-floor RV parks see fewer encounters than backcountry sites, campers should keep the site clean, avoid dropping food scraps, and store food and trash properly.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Livingston, MT
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Livingston, MT?
RV rental in Livingston is affordable for a Yellowstone gateway town. On RVezy, you can typically find travel trailers from around $90 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes from $175 to $300, and larger Class A motorhomes from $250 to $450. Because hosts set their own pricing, you can score a cheap RV rental in Livingston by booking shoulder season (late May or September), choosing a slightly older trailer, or watching for multi-night discounts. Tip: filter by Instant Book and sort by price to find the best value fast. Many Park County hosts offer weekly rates that lower the per-night cost, ideal for a longer Yellowstone trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Livingston%2C%20MontanaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Livingston?
Your standard driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Livingston. Montana does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or special endorsement for personal-use motorhomes or travel trailers, even larger Class A rigs. To rent on RVezy you must generally be at least 25 years old with a valid license, and RVezy verifies your ID through the platform during booking. Visiting from outside the US? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your home country license. No Montana-specific test or extra paperwork is required, so you can be booked and on your way to Yellowstone quickly.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV rental in Livingston, MT protected if something goes wrong?
Yes. Every RV rental in Livingston booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built into the booking. The protection plan helps cover damage to the RV, giving you peace of mind whether you're winding through Paradise Valley or parked along the Yellowstone River. During checkout you choose the protection level that fits your trip, so you stay in control of how much coverage you want. Combined with around-the-clock roadside help for issues like flat tires, lockouts, or dead batteries, you can hit the road with confidence from Livingston to Gardiner and back.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Livingston RV trip?
Plans change, and RVezy makes that easy. Every booking is backed by the RVezy cancellation policy (not set by the host), which includes a grace period after booking so you can reserve your Livingston RV rental with confidence. Depending on how far ahead of your trip you cancel, additional refund options may apply, and RVezy also has guidance for unforeseen events, which matters in a region where early snowstorms or wildfire smoke can occasionally affect Yellowstone access. The takeaway: booking is low-risk, so you can lock in a Paradise Valley camper while the dates are open.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Livingston RV trip?
Absolutely, Livingston is one of the most dog-friendly towns in Montana, and pet-friendly RV rental in Livingston is easy to find on RVezy. Just use the Pet-Friendly filter and you'll see listings from hosts who happily welcome dogs (some allow cats too). Once you're here, your pup can splash in the Yellowstone River at Sacajawea Park, hike the Pine Creek Falls trail in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, or join you on the patio at Neptune's Brewery downtown. Note that dogs aren't allowed on most Yellowstone National Park trails, but Custer Gallatin National Forest, just minutes away, has hundreds of miles of leashed-dog-friendly trails. Bring the leash and the water bowl.
fs.usda.gov/custergallatinCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Livingston?
Yes, RV delivery in Livingston is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters and travelers flying into Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (about 35 minutes west on I-90). Many Livingston-area hosts will drive the RV to your campsite at locations like Pine Creek Campground or Yellowstone's Edge RV Park, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. You skip the stress of driving a big rig through Paradise Valley's wind gusts. Use the Delivery filter when searching, and message the host with your campground name to confirm the delivery fee, which is typically based on mileage.
nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/campgrounds.htmHow far can I drive on a Livingston RV trip?
Plenty far, Livingston is a launchpad to some of the best scenery in North America. From here you can reach Yellowstone's North Entrance at Gardiner in about 55 miles (1 hour), Bozeman in 26 miles (30 minutes), Big Sky in 75 miles (1.5 hours), Red Lodge via the Beartooth Highway in about 110 miles (2.5 hours of jaw-dropping switchbacks), and Glacier National Park in roughly 360 miles (6 hours). Mileage policies are set by each host, so check the listing for your daily allowance, and look for RV rental with unlimited mileage if you're planning a longer Montana loop. Pro tip: message the host before booking if you want extra miles bundled in.
nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/directions.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Livingston, MT?
You've got fantastic options for RV camping in Livingston and the surrounding Paradise Valley. Top picks include Osen's RV Park right in town (walking distance to downtown breweries and the Yellowstone River), Yellowstone's Edge RV Park about 20 miles south along the river (full hookups with stunning Absaroka views), Pine Creek Campground in Custer Gallatin National Forest (rustic, no hookups, ridiculous mountain views), Paradise Valley / Livingston KOA Holiday in Pray, and Mammoth Campground just inside Yellowstone's North Entrance. Book the in-park Yellowstone sites through Recreation.gov up to six months ahead, they fill within minutes for summer dates. Private parks like Yellowstone's Edge open reservations a year out, so plan early.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2986When is the best time to visit Livingston in an RV?
The sweet spot for an RV road trip from Livingston is mid-June through mid-September, when daytime highs run a comfortable 75°F to 86°F and overnight lows stay in the 45°F to 55°F range. July and August are the warmest and driest, perfect for fly fishing the Yellowstone River and exploring Yellowstone National Park. Early September is the local insider's pick: kids are back in school, campgrounds open up, elk are bugling in Mammoth, and the cottonwoods turn gold. May and October are shoulder-season bargains but expect chilly nights (sometimes below freezing) and the famous Livingston wind gusts. Winter RV camping (November to April) is possible but requires a four-season rig.
weather.gov/byz/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay in Livingston?
You'll do great, Livingston is one of the friendliest places in the country to learn. First time renting an RV? Your RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering driving, leveling, hookups, propane, and the dump station, so you're never left guessing. The roads here help too: I-90 is wide and well-maintained, US-89 south through Paradise Valley to Gardiner is a gentle two-lane scenic drive, and Livingston itself has plenty of pull-through parking. Skip downtown's tight side streets in a big Class A, and watch for the wind on the open stretches between Livingston and Big Timber. Pro tip: choose a Class C or campervan rental in Livingston for your first trip, they drive like a big van.
mdt.mt.gov/travinfo/What happens if my RV breaks down near Yellowstone?
You're covered. Every RVezy booking in Livingston includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so help is one phone call away whether you're parked near Mammoth Hot Springs, climbing toward Beartooth Pass, or pulled over on US-89 in Paradise Valley. The team can dispatch a tow, deliver fuel, jump a battery, change a tire, or help troubleshoot propane issues. Your host is also a message away through the RVezy app for quick questions like resetting an inverter or relighting the water heater. Cell service is solid in Livingston and along most of I-90 and spottier south of Gardiner, so download offline maps before heading deep into Yellowstone.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Livingston RV rental to Canada or other states?
Yes, in most cases. Cross-state travel within the US is standard, so a road trip from Livingston to Glacier National Park, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, the Black Hills, or even Coeur d'Alene is very doable. Cross-border trips into Canada (Banff, Waterton, or Calgary, roughly 8 hours north) are sometimes allowed depending on the host and insurance, so message the host directly from the listing before booking to confirm. One firm rule: travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because insurance coverage doesn't extend there. Bring your passport for Canada and check current border wait times before you go.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much fuel will I use on a Livingston RV trip?
Budget realistically and you'll be just fine. Class B campervans average 18 to 22 MPG, Class C motorhomes 8 to 12 MPG, Class A rigs 6 to 10 MPG, and a truck towing a travel trailer typically 9 to 13 MPG. Regular gas in Livingston has been running around $3.40 to $3.80 per gallon recently, with diesel slightly higher. The Town Pump on East Park Street and the Sinclair near I-90 Exit 333 both have RV-friendly pull-through lanes. A round-trip from Livingston into Yellowstone via Gardiner (about 120 miles) costs roughly $40 to $60 in a Class C. Pro tip: fuel up in Livingston before heading into the park, gas inside Yellowstone is noticeably pricier.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book campgrounds near Livingston?
For peak summer (July and August), book as early as possible. Yellowstone's in-park campgrounds (Mammoth, Madison, Canyon, Bridge Bay) release reservations through Recreation.gov on a rolling six-month window and sell out within minutes. Private parks like Yellowstone's Edge RV Park and Livingston / Paradise Valley KOA take reservations 12 months out and fill by spring. Custer Gallatin National Forest sites such as Pine Creek and Snow Bank are bookable on Recreation.gov six months ahead. If you're a last-minute planner, try Tuesday or Wednesday arrivals, or aim for early June or mid-September. Pro tip: set a Recreation.gov alert for cancellations, spots open up almost daily as plans shift.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2986What are the local driving conditions like around Livingston?
Mostly easy, with one famous quirk: Livingston is one of the windiest towns in Montana. The Yellowstone River valley funnels strong westerly gusts (occasionally 50+ mph) through town and along I-90 toward Big Timber, so high-profile RVs should slow down and grip the wheel on gusty days. Otherwise, roads are excellent. I-90 is four lanes, US-89 through Paradise Valley is a beautiful smooth two-lane, and the Beartooth Highway (US-212) is a bucket-list drive but only open roughly late May through mid-October due to snow. Watch for wildlife at dawn and dusk, elk and deer are common. Check current conditions on the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) 511 site before heading out.
mdt.mt.gov/travinfo/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Livingston?
Most Livingston-area RV parks offer the works. Yellowstone's Edge RV Park, Osen's RV Park, and Livingston / Paradise Valley KOA all have full hookups (water, sewer, 30/50 amp electric), Wi-Fi, hot showers, laundry, and dump stations. Forest Service sites like Pine Creek and Mallards Rest are more rustic, vault toilets and potable water, but no hookups, so you'll rely on your RV's fresh tank and generator. Inside Yellowstone, only Fishing Bridge RV Park has full hookups; Mammoth and others are dry camping. Need to dump and refill on the road? The Town Pump in Livingston and the Conoco in Gardiner both have public dump stations. Pro tip: top off fresh water in Livingston before heading into the park.
nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/campgrounds.htmWhat's included inside a typical Livingston RV rental?
More than you'd expect. A typical motorhome rental in Livingston comes fully equipped: real beds with linens (often), a kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, sink, cookware and dishes, a bathroom with toilet and shower, dinette seating with seatbelts, air conditioning, propane furnace, and a house battery system. Many listings include a generator (handy for boondocking in Custer Gallatin National Forest), outdoor camp chairs, a TV, and sometimes Wi-Fi hotspots. Each listing's amenities section spells out exactly what's included, and hosts often offer add-ons like bedding kits, camp stoves, or bike racks. Pro tip: message your host before your trip to request anything extra, most are happy to throw in family-friendly gear for your Livingston RV trip.
nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/rv-camping.htmWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Lots of helpful extras make your Livingston RV trip smoother. Common add-ons include bedding and towel packages ($25 to $75), kitchen kits, camp chairs and tables, bike or kayak racks, generators, fire-pit kits, and Starlink Wi-Fi. Pickup is usually at the host's home in or near Livingston, but many offer delivery to Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (about 35 minutes), to your campsite, or even to a Yellowstone entrance. Mileage policies vary by listing, some include 100 free miles per night, others offer unlimited mileage packages for longer trips. Pro tip: if you're flying in and heading straight into Yellowstone, request airport pickup plus a pre-stocked propane tank, you'll save half a day of setup.
bozemanairport.com/How does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is simple and secure. When you book your Livingston RV rental through RVezy, you pay directly on the platform with a credit card, with no cash exchanged with the host. A refundable security deposit is held separately from the booking payment (typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the RV) and released after your trip once the host confirms the rig was returned clean, undamaged, and on time. To avoid any deposit issues, follow the host's guidelines: refill propane and fuel, empty the holding tanks at a dump station (the Town Pump in Livingston has one), and return on schedule. Take quick photos at pickup and drop-off for your records. That's it, you're protected, the host is protected, and you can focus on enjoying Paradise Valley.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Livingston during the winter?
Yes, and winter in Paradise Valley can be magical if you come prepared. Some Livingston hosts list four-season RVs with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and propane furnaces suited to Montana's January lows (often around 5°F to 20°F, occasionally colder). Winter RV camping here usually means shore-power sites at parks such as Osen's RV Park or Yellowstone's Edge, since boondocking in sub-freezing temps is challenging. The reward: snowshoeing in Hyalite Canyon, watching wildlife in Yellowstone's Lamar Valley (the North Entrance at Gardiner stays open year-round to Cooke City), and soaking at Chico Hot Springs under the stars. Message the host before booking to confirm winter readiness and ask about skirting, heated water hoses, and snow tires.
