The Gallatin National Forest lies along the northwestern corridor into Yellowstone National Park and is cut by numerous creeks that drain into the Gallatin River, a blue ribbon trout stream, were fly fishing is at its best. All camps provide pit toilets with handicapped accessibility, large tables, firerings with firewood available for purchase, garbage service and drinking water from hand pumps or pressurized systems. No hookups are available except for Red Cliff Campground which provides electricity to 26 of it sites.

¯ Gallatin River Canyon (MT Highway 191):

MT Horseback Ride Greek Creek Campground, Swan Creek Campground, Moose Flat Campground and Red Cliff Campground lie about 30 to 45 miles south of Bozeman, Montana in the rugged confines of the Gallatin Canyon. While Bozeman offers many attractions, including historic sites, the Museum of the Rockies with its dinosaur exhibits and paleontology lab, hot springs and great shopping, it still cannot match the attraction of the pine-scented air, crystal waters and great scenery of the Gallatin National Forest. Hike trails meandering along the impressive Gallatin River or climb to mountain-bound Lava Lake. Mountain bike trails lead upward into glacier-carved cul-de-sacs or climb over lofty ridges to drop into adjacent drainages. Nearby businesses along Highway 191 and at Big Sky, MT, provide gourmet dining, white water rafting, mountain bike rentals, horseback rides and cookouts, and quality gifts and convenience items. Only 45 minutes from Yellowstone National Park, Red Cliff Campground allows tent and other "soft-sided" camping making it a good starting point to tour the park without the usual "hard-sided" camping restrictions. Red Cliff Campground also has electricity in 26 of its sites. Red Cliff and Greek Creek Campground have pressurized water systems but the nearest dump stations are in West Yellowstone or Bozeman.
Maps and more area information can be found through the Bozeman Ranger District.

¯ Hyalite Canyon National Recreation Area (south of Bozeman):

Hyalite Canyon Recreation Area is the most heavily visited recreation area in Montana with three campgrounds and two day use areas. Langohr Campground along Hyalite Creek provides wildlife viewing and fishing midst towering rocky peaks. Hood Creek Campground and Chisholm Campground abut Hyalite Reservoir and are starting points for numerous short and long hiking routes into the dense timber up to alpine meadows and lakes on the peaks above. History Rock is a short hike, while mountain bikers thrill with the fast descents along abandoned logging roads into Sourdough Canyon or back down the paved access road. The reservoir's "no-wake" rule make it a canoeing and fishing pleasure. Located 15 miles south of Bozeman off of South 19th Avenue, this area should not be missed.
Maps and more area information can be found through the Bozeman Ranger District.
