Turn right onto Highway 212, which is the Beartooth All-American Highway, and continue about 20 miles to the Island Lake Campground, which will be on the left.
The highest campground in the state is an amazing place to set up your tent. Be sure to bring your fly fishing gear for some fun action on the lake!
Beautiful lake and surrounding area. Worth a stop when traveling on Beartooth Highway.
Beautiful! Our camp spot was perfect, large and very private. Two Grizzly sightings the day before and the second day one ran through the campground. Definitely want your bear spray handy and a clean camp. A couple deer and lots of smaller fish jumping. The toilets were the cleanest I've ever been to in all my years. Friendly host and great communication about the bear sightings. Two thumbs up!
This is a wonderful campground. It is quiet, beautiful, and well kept. There are a few pit toilets. This campground is first come first serve. You pay via envelope when you arrive. We arrived on a late Friday afternoon and there were sites available. The hosts helped us get a beautiful site for our next two nights. We stayed in a tent. There is a lake and beautiful mountain views. Campsite number 3 is amazing. Most campsites are large and spaced well from neighbors. There are hikes you can take from the campground. The northeast entrance to Yellowstone is only about 30 minutes away. Cooke City is only about 15 minutes away.
Gorgeous scenery, an excellent campground, and the trailhead to one of my favorite hikes in the Beartooth range! Always stop here to take in the views when I get the chance.
