My campsite was away from the loop road and in an elevated area. Located away from neighbors on both sides, a lot of privacy ans overlooking the woods and the mountains. It was just two nights and I would have loved to stay longer.

Great forest service campground. We stayed here while exploring Yellowstone. Bathrooms were clean and well attended to. Very quiet and beautiful area. Would stay again.

The campsite is very dilapidated and needs renovations such as the firepit and picnic table being absolutely destroyed. Garbage was all over the campsite from prior campers, and it was very difficult to setup a tent as the ground is very rocky and full of pebbles, though that is not the fault of the camp itself. That being said it is in an absolutely beautiful and quiet location, the camp host and other campers were very polite. And as always be bear aware, there was a grizzly behind our campsite up the trail built into the campsite.
