Such a nice little campground. If you're looking for a place in Yellowstone away from people for an evening than this is it. We had black bear and buffalo come through the campground a couple days we were there. Get there real early though if you want a spot, like before 6:00am. There are usually only a handful of sites available each day.
Spent 3 nights! Had coffee with a Buffalo on the Buffalo River. Remote. Great animal viewing area nearby.
Awesome campground hosts
Rustic not for the faint of heart. BRING BEAR SPRAY AND BUG SPRAY.
🔥 and smoke helps keep the bugs down.
❤️ Yellowstone
Did I mention to bring bear spray 🤔
Grizzly territory
Awesome campsite in Yellowstone, feels a little more secluded and private. Right on the creek, good fishing in the area, and good wildlife sightings. Bison walked right by us on our last morning!
