Caribou National Forest's dispersed camping area in Swan Valley sits along a dirt road with a stream running through the lower sections. Sites are large and spread out, though shade is limited throughout. Campers who drive further down the road encounter large power lines overhead; the better sites are closer to the entrance. Open-range cattle roam the area, so expect cows on-site and the mess that comes with them. Campers stopping over near campgrounds around Swan Valley or passing through after Yellowstone will find this a functional overnight stop with room to spread out.
