Very primitive, but it was our favorite campsite for our 2 week camping adventure. We only stayed one night, but it was just what we needed when car camping. We loved being nestled into the rocks. We still talk about this site 3 years later.
What a find!! We were driving along Highway 89 not sure of where we would park for the night. This campsite popped up and I'm so glad it did! Right off the highway, these sites are $7/night!! You can't beat that! Obviously, there are no hookups. You just get a spot, a picnic table and a fire ring. The bathrooms were good though and you can use your generator. I think this was around 30 min from Yellowstone's north entrance. And there's a lot of spots available too. We are truly grateful to have had this place to stop for the night. Plus, check out those rocks the kids got to climb!
Excellent campsite! 10-15 minutes from Gardiner/North entrance of Yellowstone. $7 per night with pit toilet access. Sites are curtained by massive boulders, providing privacy. Despite being near the road, it’s pretty quiet- I mostly heard the breeze in the pines and the river. We saw bighorn sheep, elk, and bison several times along the road between Yellowstone and canyon campground. Each site has a fire pit with a grill cover. I would absolutely stay here again.
Great place and very clean, only $10.00 night. Lots were big and lots to choose from. Misquotes will carry you away… Lots of them and the May flies were bad July 7, 2021.
