Host was helpful. If in an RV make sure you have water before you arrive only a hand pump at camp. Water is available at Watpi campground about 20 east of 3 mile. Very close to Yellowstone east entry.

3 miles from East entrance of Yellowstone was perfect. Quiet clean campground; no hookups. Only allowed hard sided campers due to Bears. Next to river was very nice.

Perfect for access to Yellowstone without the traffic. Beautiful river views. Loved the water source. It takes you back to a simpler time. The huckleberries were ripe and all around our site. The host was top notch. She helped us with many questions.
