Small campground close to town with good Verizon cell coverage. Hand full of camp spots for tent or max 25 ft RV. Nice being by the creek, easy hiking trails. Beautiful wildflower hikes on well kept trails.
Spacious campground nestled back far enough to be off the main road, but still near the edge of the park. The bathrooms were clean and the campsites were well taken care of and stocked with picnic tables, fire pits, and bear boxes.
Beautiful, peaceful campground with stream and hiking trails only 2 miles from Red Lodge. Five private wooded campsites and one group campsite in the parking lot. Two vault toilets that are well maintained. No potable water or garbage bins. There are two nice hiking trails at the campground. The gravel road to the campground has large deep potholes that can't be avoided so those with campers will need to take it slow. The roads to the individual campsites are narrow and the sites are small so teardrops and vans fit ok but larger campers over 20 feet would likely have difficulty.
