It was a pretty good camping spot, though if you have a lot of people there it can be a little tough to find a good, level tent spot
What a beautiful retreat in the woods. Easily as nice as Yellowstone, but without the people! Just a few miles west from the park, there are a whole slew of hidden gems out here in the woods, like mountain lakes and wildlife, and the cabins here are a trip into the past. Wonderful retreat spot.
A nice campground if you're looking to rough it outside of the group campsite. There was a small firepit and plenty of cows and cow patties. A beautiful view and places for me to string my hammock. Only giving it four stars because of the ride in. Riding on a motorcycle coming from the east took about an hour to an hour and a half all on dirt roads. Would return if I had a different motorcycle or was in a car. Also, there wasn't much of a creek as it had dried up so we had to ask the friendly folks at the ground campground for some potable water.
