Miles City KOA

The Great Outdoors

Eastern Montana is vastly different than its western counterpart, but when it comes to the diverse offering of parks and recreation areas near Miles City KOA, you can book an RV in Custer County and make the most of your trip. Places like Pirogue Island State Park await you and your RV rental when you visit the state of Montana, eager to impress outsiders and locals alike. This island state park is practically in Miles City, so traveling far to spend time in the great outdoors isn't necessary. The island has great views of the Yellowstone River and winding nature trails that dance their way along the river banks.To the east, you can head to Makoshika State Park, the largest state park in the entire state. This park’s name comes from the Lakota word for “land of bad spirits,” but don’t let this scare you away. Here you can do some hiking, archery, camping, and dinosaur fossil hunting in the rich landscapes of the park.Glacier National Park is perhaps the most famous park in all of Montana, but it is wedged up in the far northwest corner of the state over by the Canadian border. It is much easier to dip into Wyoming to the south and visit Grand Teton National Park or Yellowstone National Park, two equally impressive parks that will have you hooked. Yellowstone National Park is the world’s first national park, and one of the best-known parks in the country. This geological hotspot is teeming with sulfur pools, hot springs, and amazing geysers like Old Faithful, which regularly erupts, shooting a plume of water high into the air.Grand Teton National Park is excellent for mountain trekking, rock climbing, rugged hiking, and mountain biking, but the wintertime brings with it a bevy of possibilities too. Skiing and snowboarding in the park is part of the appeal, so don’t forget your gear if you plan on shredding the powdery slopes of northern Wyoming during your campervan rental trip.
