As for the surrounding town, it is relatively small compared to the size of most cities but has more than one grocery store, multiple restaurants, and a shopping mall.

The Yellowstone Holiday Resort was established in 2000. At the time of the establishment, the campground was owned and operated by the Dumkeys, who owned and operated the campsite for over fifteen years. In 2016 Vickie Barta bought the property and has been the owner of the campground ever since. Though Vickie owns the property, she actually leases it out to others. She grew up being involved in the campground industry, and so when the opportunity arrived, she jumped on the opportunity to run a campground of her own. There have been many improvements and repairs that have been made to the campsite over the past few years, such as the enlargement of the general store and the building of the volleyball court. The resort is over twenty years old, and there are only plans to try and make it better.
