Great place to stay the day before you head into the North entrance of Yellowstone. Large sites with lots of privacy and the sound of Mill Creek just adds to the experience.
Nice campgrounds. Fire pits in each, a few trash cans around, outhouses, water spouts. There are quite a few nice hiking spots nearby, and the management is very polite. Spots aren't to expensive at all, and the spots are right on the river.
Beautiful! Campground alongside the spring with plenty of space to have a site away from strangers if that is what you're looking for. Amenities present at the sites that are absent from most locations. Bear boxes and a site bear trash box. Restrooms are attended to regularly.
We had a great experience at Snowbank campground, we stayed for 10 days, it was a good location for day trips in to Yellowstone. There was good fishing close by, and we had a couple of nice day trips in to Livingston. We will definitely stay here again
Great quiet campground. The host on the other hand made it unpleasant. From the parking on the road by our site and just watching us get things ready for the night or the next morning trying to get me to pay more. He told me that we didn't pay enough and that I was too young to have an access pass and don't get the pass discount. When I argued he told me to wait for him to go make a phone call. We packed up and an hour later he still hadn't come back. Stopped at the front on the way out and he was just hanging out at his camper. Checked the sign and there it was access pass $10.
