My husband and I stayed at this campground last summer when we visited Yellowstone .The host was very pleasant and friendly and explained the campground rules to us very clearly . Very glad we followed those rules to a T as we had a bear come close to camp and we did not know it til we got home and I looked at my pics . Thats when i saw a black bear standing in tree line looking right at me taking the pics of our campsite .Then gone in next pic of same tree line. My eyesight is bad and I did not see him til I zoomed in on pics at home . Was very cool and very scarey to camp sooo close to any bears . I would like to camp there again .
