The fuel was $5.20 for 100LL. The courtesy car was clean and ran great. Good food at the Busy Bee Cafe. A great stop.

Planned to stop for fuel going East 6/27/13 but while in flight toward Roundup, FSS informed me there was a NOTAM which stated fuel was not available. That NOTAM was not mentioned by FSS during the preflight brief. It worked out OK as a good tailwind allowed me to go to BAC, near Fargo, ND where fuel price was $4.95/gal. I stopped at Roundup 7/8/13 for fuel on the flight West. Fuel was available at the stated price of $5.20. AND, I was able to access the pilot briefing building!! Thanks for the improvement.

Stopped for fuel on 6/29/12 and 7/8/12. I appreciate the fuel price, BUT, like I stated in my previous post, I could not get into the "Pilots Lounge" to use the phone. Another local pilot tried and it didn't work for him either. Access to the key is not possible. Using the Unicom number as posted, doesn't work. One can tell the mechanism will not function when pushing on the number selection buttons. It doesn't feel right. We have the same system at the EAA hangar here at 7S5, Oregon, and it works fine. PLEASE, PLEASE REPLACE THE KEY LOCK BOX!!!! I plan to stop for fuel on s7/20/12, and I sure would like access to the phone. (No signal for my cell phone at Roundup)

8/4/11 Stopped for fuel. The price was as stated on AirNav, $4.80. Tried to get into the "pilot lounge" but the combination, (CTAF), didn't work. There was no cell phone signal so I couldn't close my flight plan. I fueled as quickly as possible after unsuccessful access to the pilot lounge, got airborne, no radio contact with FSS available there. BUT, I was able to contact Flight Watch on 122.0, and closed my flight plan, opened the next leg flight plan and received a WX brief. I called the phone number listed on AirNav to advise the combination to the flight lounge didn't work, and was told it should work..... Beautiful valley, interesting runway upslope to the West. By the way, FSS had begun a phone search to check on where I was.

I say my experience was excellent because I have a sense of adventure. However, there is no drinkable water at the airport so if you need water you have to go to town. And there was no toilet paper in the restroom, however I carry that with me..... So, 24 hour self serve was good once we figured it out. Access to the lounge good and the courtesy car was great. I got some valuable info from the lady at the Autumn hotel (card was on the wall in the lounge). In town the folks were friendly. A quiet beautiful spot.

I see there are no comments here so I will. Roundup is about 40 miles north of Billings and makes an excellent overnight stop. Cheaper fuel than the big airports, a courtesy car to drive to the nearby town, Big Sky Motel is comfortable and inexpensive. Grand Bar serves a great ribeye steak, Busy Bee Restaurant in the morning is the place to be. The day I was there the SS credit card machine charged me for Avgas price on JetA pump but Town called me next day are doing a credit. I'll be back
