Super peaceful, amazingly beautiful, and the site was in perfect shape with great amenities. Grill, picnic table, and a raised flat area for pitching your tent. My cabin tent is 10' x 7' and there was plenty of room to spare. Can't recommend Angel Creek enough and can't wait to go back.

Nice quiet campsite with a water pump to access water. It was great for an overnight stop on our way to Yellowstone.

Got to my campsite just before sunset (in the middle of July), by which time it had cooled down enough to be comfortable. The mountains to the west provide shade in the evening, but it warms up quickly in the morning. The campsite was great, the only downside was people at the group site had music playing loudly until late (I guess 10pm is the quiet time, so they were observing the rules, still it was annoying).
