It is a college town. It is the access point of Big Sky Montana, home of some of the most exclusive mountain real estate in the world, rivaling Jackson and Vail. Bill Gates, Former Vice President Dan Quayle, Pro Golfer Anaka Sorenstan, Tour de France winner Greg Lemond are among the property owners. Bozeman is a prime destination for Fly fisherman with the Yellowstone, Gallatin, Madison and Missouri rivers minutes away. It is between multiple mountain ranges and is considered one of the best outdoor recreation communities in the United States with Hiking, biking and mountaineering opportunities everywhere.
If you look at RVPARKREVIEW you'll see that most of these KOA's were in the $35-40 range last year, so this price jump occurred over the winter. Yes I know that high demand areas like the Florida Keys are always more expensive. So only CG Devils Tower KOA being the one and only CG explains that price jump. But I hardly think that Bozeman is a tourist mecca.
It has very tough zoning, can't just plop an RV park down anywhere. It has tremendously high land prices. No couple of hundred or thousand dollar an acre plats. There is a great shortage of RV spaces, you won't find an unsold site from June thru September. Prices in the $50s to $70s are very reasonable for the area during the prime season.
