Not the nicest campground we have stayed at. The sites were big enough but as it is in the river valley in a wet year it had just opened up from being flooded, so they were not well mowed. There was still a flooded walk way to the outhouses, which were ok, but still very rudimentary.

Also while the location is out of the main forested area of the mountains (don't expect pine forests), it still could have had some nice views, but there were no good places to observe just sit and observe the river.

We choose this location because it was the closest site with available spots near Yellowstone.

Now we are well set up for dry camping so it really worked ok for us. I actually used some equipment to wack back the grass and weeds to open up the site.

Also if you do stay here you can get water at the larger campground just to the west. The spigot is right near the entrance to that campground. Also if you want a nice place to walk along the river go out of the campground to the field just to the west.

We were told to be wary of bears and there are bear boxes, but in the time we were there we did not see any evidence bears had been there. No dropping or tree rubbings. I suspect it is probably on the edge of bear territory.
