Henry's Lake BLM Dispersed
Henry's Lake BLM Dispersed, near West Yellowstone, Montana, is a fantastic spot for those who crave a bit of wilderness without the frills. This area offers a mix of forested and open meadow spaces, perfect for pitching a tent or parking your RV while soaking in stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains.
Campers rave about the peaceful atmosphere and the abundance of trails for hiking and ATV riding.
