Something not right?
Description
Rest area right off of I-90. Has some picnic tables, clean restrooms, and a little walking area with views of the mountains. There are 'no camping' signs but as with all Montana rest areas you are able to sleep in a vehicle. Noise is moderate as expected being just off the highway.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.

Adding info: 2023 news says this location is permanently closed due to deteriorating conditions. New location being planned. https://nbcmontana.com/news/local/rest-area-closes-in-bozeman
Report Check-InEntrance is blocked and a big sign says closed. Don't know if it's temporary or if they are shutting it down permanently.
Report Check-InVery busy with traffic noise, which I appreciate vs intermittent disruptions to the quiet. Plenty of fellow boondockers.
Report Check-InNo camping signs near the building. I didn’t want to camp right in front of those signs. I guess folks are camping in the RV/truck area away from the building, but I didn’t want to risk it.
Report Check-InNot much to add to the other reviews. It's super convenient, and small. If you have a trailer, there are a few places to park. Better for a van or car. I pulled in about 8pm on a Saturday and got my pick of spots...It's a bit noisey, but less than I was expecting.
Report Check-Inthis is in town. so nice views of the mountains, but also target and first national bank. lots of amenities around. rei and sports warehouse just down the road. it was busy and noisy but it worked for us just passing through.
Report Check-InThe beauty of Montana rest stops are that you can sleep in your vehicle/RV in them. This makes it very convenient. This particular rest stop is much smaller (for cars/RVs without trailers - trucks and RVs with trailers have a separate section) than the last one I stayed. As such, I am closer to the building so there is more noise. No issue since I am staying for free, however I would recommend stopping at the larger rest stops so you can tuck away in a corner/be farther away from building. Didn’t use facilities.
Report Check-InRest stop with clean restrooms. There are only few parking spots so make sure to come early. We came at 10:30 pm and only one spot was left
