This place is way out of the way says 12 miles from town, there are no street lights during the drive the road you have to turn down for the last 1.5 miles is horrible, its graveled has huge pot holes and is washboarded out badly. The phone said they were open and website said 24/7. Left message as advised and when we got there no one was in the office! Called the number that said after hours and left a message, NO ONE EVER CALLED BACK! There was supposed to be registration cards to fill out per sign but there was none. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! KOA should be ashamed.

I have stayed at many KOA and have even stayed at the Livingston KOA in the past, but found this time that it set the bar for worst KOA experience ever. The bathrooms were absolutely repugnant! The main bathhouse was out of order for most of our stay (it was open for 2 of the 5 days we were there). All campers were told to use to use the bathhouses. By virtue of our campsite near the pavilion bath... I have stayed at many KOA and have even stayed at the Livingston KOA in the past, but found this time that it set the bar for worst KOA experience ever. The bathrooms were absolutely repugnant! The main bathhouse was out of order for most of our stay (it was open for 2 of the 5 days we were there). All campers were told to use to use the bathhouses. By virtue of our campsite near the pavilion bathhouse, we saw them clean the facilities maybe once a day? The smell of the bathrooms was horrible. The hair and dirt in the showers, sinks and mats terrible. The walls were dirty, the ceiling and light fixtures covered with cobwebs. Not sure when the last time the doors and handles had been cleaned? Broken hooks, cracked tiles. Prison showers might be more appealing. The jump pad play area made a high pitched fan noise all day long. Camp sites were clean and well cared for. We were there during the latter part of a dry summer, so recognize the grass is probably greener at other times of the year, but there is no excuse for the shower situation. We won't get into the laundry room also not working, and there being no offer for compensation except directions to a laundromat. In fact, at one point, seeing the main bathhouse had been reopened, I stuck my head into the laundry room to see if the machines were also working. A KOA employee who was doing laundry snapped at me, "The Laundry Room is closed, can't you read the sign?" We had to move sites our last day, and when we checked at the office in the morning, they told us they'd text us when our new site was ready. They did not text us, but when we got back to the KOA in the afternoon, we moved to the site the office had told us to move to. The following day we received a note stating our reservation was canceled because we'd failed to check-in? Guess they failed to notice we had our rig in the site all night long? Anyway, we'll likely look for other accommodations for future visits to the area.

This is a gorgeous campground with cabins, tent sites, and RV sites. It is on the Yellowstone River with an amazing views of the mountains. They have an indoor heated pool, but I was disappointed to see it’s only open from memorial to Labor Day. This didn’t make sense considering it’s heated and indoors. It was one of the reasons we came for the kiddos. They however have a nice play ground, a huge... This is a gorgeous campground with cabins, tent sites, and RV sites. It is on the Yellowstone River with an amazing views of the mountains. They have an indoor heated pool, but I was disappointed to see it’s only open from memorial to Labor Day. This didn’t make sense considering it’s heated and indoors. It was one of the reasons we came for the kiddos. They however have a nice play ground, a huge bouncy house to jump on, little 3 wheeled bikes to race around the camp ground with. There is a place just across the road where live music is playing on weekends with some big name bands. Very quaint and a wonderful time with food and drinks. There is a hiking spot up the road to paradise falls, Livingston is close for shopping, you are right by the Chico hot springs, as well as Yellowstone park. We have now made it an end of summer tradition for our family for the last 3 years and will continue to be for years to come.

Been on a month long road trip through national parks and needed a place to stay on our way from Yellowstone to Glacier. Booked a deluxe cabin (which was only 20$ more than the last not so great motel we stayed at) and it came with all the amenities plus some (mini fridge, linens, towels, BBQ, patio, etc.) and included a bathroom and shower which was so nice. It was in between staying just in a te... Been on a month long road trip through national parks and needed a place to stay on our way from Yellowstone to Glacier. Booked a deluxe cabin (which was only 20$ more than the last not so great motel we stayed at) and it came with all the amenities plus some (mini fridge, linens, towels, BBQ, patio, etc.) and included a bathroom and shower which was so nice. It was in between staying just in a tent and being stuck in an ugly motel. Wish we could've stayed longer

Quick pros and cons list with a more detailed review below: Pros: View/Scenery Cons: Most disgusting bathrooms you can imagine Smell of human feces throughout the campground Nickle and dime Expensive with few amenities This was the second time that I have stayed at the Livingston/Paradise Valley KOA. The previous time I stayed was during the throws of covid in 2020 in a cabin with a bathroom and was an all around positive experience. This time around, my family and I (2 adults and 3 children) stayed in a basic cabin. The only thing positive about my stay was the setting. We chose to pay more to stay on a basic cabin on the river and it was a treat to enjoy the view each morning and evening. I particularly enjoyed watching the boats get launched on the opposite side of the river. Unfortunately, the view was the only positive portion of the trip. At check-in, I learned that a fire ban was in effect for the campground. I understand that the KOA does not control this, but they should inform potential booking members if there is a fire ban during the booking process. We booked on Thursday morning and arrived on Friday morning. This should have been advertised during booking. No fires significantly impacts the camping experience and it also impacts what we brought to make for meals (meals to be cooked over open flame). Next, we were informed that the main restrooms/showers were closed due to plumbing issues. This left two small outpost facilities with 2 restrooms and showers each for the entire campground. The restrooms that were open were the most disgusting conditions you could possibly imagine. We are talking third world country bad. The floor was rotting out of one of the showers and everything was soaked in water. Feces, urine, and spiders covered nearly every portion of the bathrooms. On the second day of our stay, one of the bathrooms was clogged up and remained clogged for over 24 hours. Trying to walk through the campsite to enjoy the view and scenery was also difficult due to the smell of human feces that was constantly wafting through the campground. It seems this KOA has an issue with its septic, but doesn't appear to be doing anything about it. The smell was so strong at times that it would cause my eyes to water. Finally, this is more of a personal pet peeve, but the main office charges $2.50 for a cup of basic coffee. Not only are most of your facilities not working, but you can't even bother to offer complimentary basic coffee? I paid over $130 a night for a basic cabin and the ability to use the most disgusting bathrooms you could ever imagine. It is clear the owners of this KOA do not care about the customer experience. If you are looking into staying at this KOA, I would suggest that you spend the same amount of money and stay at a hotel in Livingston. You will spend about the same amount of money and have access to infinitely nicer facilities and amenities.
