Great tent camping away from the crowded Yellowstone sites.

Serene spot by Earthquake Lake

You'll figure out by reading my reviews, that I favor mountainesque campgrounds, and as such, you'll probably think that I love this campground...... you'd be correct!

There's also close access to Quake Lake, and it's a short drive to Yellowstone!

Another awesome campground in Montana

This is a paved campground with 3 loops, some reservation and some first come first serve.  The campground host told us that he had the cleanest pit toilets in the territory and he wasn’t kidding!  It even smelled clean.  Overlooking quake lake and the skeletal trees that drown in the 1959 7.3 earthquake that brought a good portion of the mountain down and dammed the Madison river.  

Paved roads, water spigots, bear box locations.  It was quiet and absolutely beautiful, with the pine cover mountains surrounding it.  We loved it!  

Rugged and stunning 

The campground host was very active in ensuring the campground bathrooms were clean and tidy. They also went around in a cart with firewood if you needed it. Our campsite was close to a small hiking trail that led to a creek. We saw a few animals across the river which was nice.
