Itch-Kep-Pe Park

Stayed two nights in late April. Campground roads were graded with fresh gravel while we were here. Nine hole golf course within walking distance. We enjoyed quiet, peaceful stay on the Yellowstone River. Good cell signal and good distance between campsites. Main restrooms not open, but porta potties were available (we did not use). Public works staff welcomed us, made sure we knew the rules, and let us know that donations to maintenance of the park are appreciated.

Kind of sketchy free camping. It looked like there were some long term campers just based on the amount of stuff at their campsites, however there is a 10 day max stay limit and police patrol the area, so not sure if our judgment was true.
We chose a spot close to the exit near another trailer. We had no desire to look at the bathroom situation, previous reviews said it was just portapotties right now because a storm damaged the building.
Good for a one nighter, that’s about it.

We spent a Sunday night here. Sites were decent sized. We were able to back our 35 foot 5th wheel into a spot pretty easily. Roads were dusty with several people on 4-wheelers ripping by, despite the 15 mph speed limit. Sites needed to be mowed. Bathrooms were closed permanently with a piece of plywood over the door. Porta-potties and hand washing stations were outside the bathrooms. There is a water spigot at the bathrooms you can use to fill your tanks. No dump station in town that I was able to find.

Plenty of sites. Make sure you keep going as there are sites further back. We fit our 35’ rig with longbed truck still hitched. Our site was fairly level and sites weren’t too close each other. We found one fairly close the the boat launch and my wife and two boys enjoyed the day playing with frogs while I worked in the trailer. We ran a generator with no issues to run the a/c.
Plenty of cell service. Easily accessible with a bigger rig. Site could use some grooming. We donated $ to try and support the sites

I travelled here with a 35’ 5th wheel, long bed pickup and parked in the site #4, a dry, BI site for a $10 donation. The park has seen better days. It gets used pretty hard by fishermen and river folks as well as campers. The roads are gravel or dirt with a little bit of gravel mixed in. It was easy to navigate. There were lots of tall trees so it provided some shade but not so dense as to completely block my solar panels. The site was level so no additional blocks were needed. The bathroom was in really bad shape – leaking fixtures, peeling paint, dirty, so I didn’t use it. Lots of traffic moved through the park and site 4 is close to the entrance so I heard it a great deal. Trains also rumbled by a number of times. No wifi, didn’t check for OTA channels, had 3 bars LTE with Verizon. It is a free, FCFS campground but they do ask for donations. The area further back near the boat launch had a few sites but none big enough for my rig. The Yellowstone River runs right by the park which is lovely. It was okay for a quick stop. I don’t know that I would want to do an extended stay here, but it was okay for an overnight.
