Quite peaceful, but not much to do
This was a nice stop outside of Yellowstone before heading to Glacier. A bit tight for our 38’ MH, but got in fine and set up for the evening. Weren’t many trails for hiking at the campground and the lake wasn’t much to look at. Outside of that, the overall scenery and solitude was just what we needed after spending time camping in Yellowstone.
Nice place close to yellowstone
We stayed here 1 night on our 5000 mile road trip. Close to Yellowstone and very nice. Cool temperatures at night even in august
This one’s a gem
Quiet and well kept, this beautiful mountain campsite is perfect for relaxation. 3 different loops, bear boxes, vault toilets. High elevation means bugs were at a minimum. Located within a fair distance to Yellowstone. Ground squirrels were around but not hand fed and kept their distance.
