Hood Creek Campground

Great campground and hosts. Beautiful views however really noisy with sound traveling across reservoir. Party central at night with college kids doing campfires in parking lots and beach. Motorcycles love to drag race illegally at night which is an annoyance. Lovely place but overrun by too many Bozemanites.

Very professional and thoughtful area host (his wife is the location host). Quiet and clean, easy in/out and they provide firewood if you forget yours (small cost). Water access throughout many sites for paddleboarding etc. Day use area convenient for boating etc, with no fee for tables etc. Bugs are present (flys) so being a fly trap is helpful. Pricing as of review was $26 per night and availability was updated and posted at host site. Quick ride to day use area on other side of the lake pits you at a trailhead to many trails.

My husband and I stayed at this campground for 3 nights... campsites were large, clean, with fire rings. Mostly all had views of Hyalite reservoir... most sites were somewhat secluded with trees... the bathrooms were VERY clean and didn’t have the common stench of your typical vault toilet. The location was great especially if you want to take day trips into Bozeman (about a 25 min drive)... the campground host “Jack” was friendly and full of suggestions for day hikes, etc. we would def stay here again!

Awesome hidden gem campground. Tons of good views and lake to kayak. Clean bathrooms but no showers and no plumbing unfortunately. Bear boxes are provided on site and staff was very helpful! Campsite 7 was great and highly recommend!

Super nice spots on the water, camp ground host was very nice to let us know a few reservations were no shows and there was space! Two vehicles at base $20 site cost. Quiet and with the usual USFS camping services. Road in is rough only for a mile. Two wheel drive cars are fine to get there.
