Spent a night camping here before driving into Yellowstone. The campground is lightly used and quiet. The is a small stream running though the middle of the location. Fires are allowed if there are no bans in place. We enjoyed our night here and would stop again.
This is a great place to camp, it may be primitive but if you don’t mind it would be well worth your time. The Sunlight Basin is about half hour drive away with breathtaking vista’s. It is worth the time and energy to experience this incredible place on earth! Blessings
No water. Clean, clean pit toilets. Needs mowing to keep down mosquitoes. Very, berry quiet and great base camp for exploring area.
