A key detail worth knowing before pulling in: this site along the Gallatin National Forest near Gardiner is listed as dispersed camping, but at least one ranger has confirmed it is not an approved overnight spot. Campers have been turned away the morning after arrival. The site is drive-in accessible, accommodates RVs up to 45 feet, and has river water nearby, but none of that matters if overnight stays aren't permitted. Rangers at the local office can provide a map of verified campgrounds around Gardiner and point visitors toward legitimate dispersed sites in the area, including Gallatin NF Dispersed near Gardiner. Confirm status with the ranger station before setting up camp here.
