Right on the water
Campsites along the Yellowstone River. Large sites. Vault toilets. Swift current, but clear water. People were swimming up closer to the dam - by the access. Lots of bugs.
Wonderful Place
The sites are level and grass is nicely mowed. There are fire rings and picnic tables. It has great access to the river, right below the dam and has a boat dock. Lots of trees for shade! The campground has toilets and water (push and hold the nozzle down). If you come during paddlefishing season (May & June), the banks will be filled with fishermen trying to snag into one of these fish. Though it's a busy time of year, it's a wonderful time to stay and see them working in fish that can reach over 100 lbs. There is also great sturgeon fishing in the area as well. Absolutely recommend staying here!
Peaceful Serenity!!
We arrived in the afternoon on a Friday in October. There is a check-in box to drop your $18 and fill out your information. We first noticed how level so many of the campsites were and many of them on the river with a view. We among a total of 3 overnight camper so there was plenty of room. I metal detect and so did that and took our Great Dane and Bassett Hound got a walk. The trees are so golden right now it was an incredible sight! There were restrooms but we never used them. We felt safe there the entire time.
