I stayed here for two nights during my trip to Yellowstone National Park. This is one of the most beautiful campgrounds I've ever seen! The facilities are lovingly maintained. The restroom is just a pit toilet, but it's as clean as it could possibly be - although it could use maybe a shelf or something...
Wildlife is present, but not too much in your business. Our camp host was a delight and clearly took a lot of joy in showing the place off.
This is extremely remote, please be advised that it's not for those nervous about bears.
Amazing and secluded campground! Spent 2 nights instead of 3 because Yellowstone closed due to flooding. Only 30 minutes from West Yellowstone, so super convenient. We had C13, and it was great! Would definitely come again!
