Local Area Recreation Near Hardin KOA Journey

Little Big Horn Days and Crow Fair are big attractions in Hardin.  Big Horn County Fair is always a big hit.  Rodeos, street dances, Ice Cold Beer. Check with Hardin Chamber of Commerce for details.
Yellowtail Dam, Fort Smith are beautiful drives and well worth it, on the reservation to the marina by the Dam.  
Pompey's Pillar, where Lewis and Clark stopped, is right on the beautiful Yellowstone River.  No doubt why they stopped there.  William Clark etched his name half way up the pillar and it is still there, under glass.  Steps take you to the very top to see what they saw years ago. Chief Plenty Coups State Park is close by as well.

Local things to do for our campers as they visit.

Hardin has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere as you stroll down Center Ave. Local shops include The Farmer's Daughter, The Jailhouse Gallery, Cinema, an old time theater and restaurant The Harriet , Do It Best, and J&D's Meats Market  are among some of the must see spots. A museum, battlefield, casinos, restaurants, motels, coffee shops, local churches and parks add to the friendliness of this small town atmosphere. We love it here and I think you will too!!!  Not to forget Lamers Trading Post and Second Chance. Hardin offers a nice Flying J and a new Loves Truck stop plus other gas stops for your traveling needs. Hardin has a nice IGA grocery store and a Family Dollar Store. We also have repair shops for some traveling problems you might have while traveling.  Bill's Auto might fit your needs.  For our golfers, Fort Custer Golf Club.

Billings is the largest city in Montana, I reckon, and has everything you could ever think of. Really!!!! Just a short drive on I 90 west. About 40 miles and I must say a beautiful drive there and back to Hardin.
