Eastern Montana RV Parks

The Battle of the Little Bighorn, known to Lakota as the Battle of the Greasy Grass, and commonly referred to as Custer's Last Stand, was an armed engagement between combined forces of the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes, against the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. The battle, which occurred June 25–26, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in eastern Montana Territory, was the most prominent action of the Great Sioux War of 1876.

The fight was an overwhelming victory for the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho, led by several major war leaders, including Crazy Horse and Chief Gall, inspired by the visions of Sitting Bull. The U.S. 7th Cavalry, including the Custer Battalion, a force of 700 men led by George Armstrong Custer, suffered a severe defeat. Five of the 7th Cavalry's twelve companies were annihilated; Custer was killed, as were two of his brothers, a nephew, and a brother-in-law. The total U.S. casualty count included 268 dead and 55 severely wounded (6 died from their injuries later), including 4 Crow Indian scouts and 2 Pawnee Indian scouts.

Top Eastern Montana Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Billings

10/10 Excellent

"Buffett was quick clean and good. Diabetic friendly . Thanks"

Quality Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Older building but the room was clean, the bed was comfy, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Things may not have been perfect, but the staff made up for it and took care of everything without hesitation. No conditioner left - sent a bottle up. No towels in pool room - got us some from the laundry room right away. The free breakfast was awesome. Plenty of grill options plus a full continental breakfast with fresh food. Bring money for a tip, because you will for sure want to tip the cook that whips up your breakfast. Thing to take note of - I did not see an elevator so plan accordingly. "
