Lonesomehurst Campground

only about a 20 min drive to the west entrance, well maintained road, easy to find. Would totally stay here again! LIMITED SITES!!!

Mosquitos are awful but as long as you set up a fire you’re good! got a spot right next to the lake and had perfect conditions for stargazing.

$26/night & $10 wood for sale with the camp host. Prices were drawn on so definitely raised compared to others

bear boxes, fire pits and picnic tables at each spot. 2 pit toilets that were SO CLEAN, and smelled good?!

Beautiful campsites with both mountain and Lake Views. Spacious sites with Electric, water available in various places throughout campground. Clean Pit Toilets available.

Gallatin National Forrest Campground on Hebgan Lake, South Fork Arm. Also has a boat launch to Lake. Smaller Forrest Service campground with electric at sites, no water at sites, but does have a few water faucets throughout campground. Sites are nice spaced around lake and trees, so some shade to full sun sites. A little space between most sites, picnic tables and fire rings. Approximately 8 miles from west Yellowstone entrance.

Stayed here at the end of a day in Yellowstone. I had reserved a spot, but I wish I had waited because apparently there were a few cancellations and no-shows at excellent sites (this is June 2022 after the flooding up north, possibly why?). 10 was huge, level, and lakefront!

Other campers were staying up to two weeks (!)! and had clearly made friends at the end of the loop, they were a bit noisy into the evening. One gentleman told me he is a local and comes out here every year. It is a bit of a distance to Yellowstone and there are closer choices, so if you need to max your time at the park maybe this wouldn’t be ideal, but it was beautiful in its own right and the lake was great for recreational use, very quiet and clean. Mosquitoes were aggressive but repellent helped a bit.

Right off the hebgen lake. Great spot. Geese are loud. Well worth the stop.

Beautiful sites on or near the lake. Close to Yellowstone. Swim or fish the lake. Sites have little privacy. Pit toilets are clean.

On our 4th day exploring Yellowstone, we made a little traveler error. We played and explored a little too long and when it was time to settle in for the night, even though it was a midweek day we found all of the park campgrounds full.  So we made our way out the West Yellowstone entrance to look for something and lucked out and found this campground!  27 sites that sit along​ Hebgen Lake.  Sites were clean and level, but not tons of privacy.   The lake was peaceful for a single night stay and because we did not get to explore very much it just made us want to come back again someday!

This is a fairly public campground, so there tends to be a lot of traffic during the day. It is also a day use access point so there is also that traffic! There is a boat launch, and beach access on almost every part of the campsite. Sites run between $12-15 depending on the site. There are also discounts for Veterans and Senior Citizens. It is a fairly clean campsite but you may have to book months in advance. If you drive past this campsite there are hundreds of dispersed campsites FOR FREE. But you’ll have to find them, by wandering down the dirt roads. ;)

A wonderful location, accessible, clean, cared for. There are hiking trails nearby. The hosts are very accommodating and friendly.

We only stayed briefly here, but I wish it was more time! Looks like a great area to explore. We used it because it was really close to Yellowstone and we could reserve it and arrive late at night. Would love to go back!

Lonesomehurst was amazing!! It was quite, peaceful and everyone there was so nice. It's a little out but I think it's worth it. The lake is so nice you can go swimming, kayak and paddle board. For a full set up it was $23 and for a little one it was $16. They have running water and bathrooms, but no showers. All and all it was great and I would totally do it again!!!

We got there at about midnight and the camp host told us to just set up, get some rest and pay in the morning. They have paddle boards that you can rent and there's a beautiful view. The only sound that we heard were the geese Squawking during the night. Overall a great decision because it is very small and not very many people. Definitely recommend it!

Great campsite near West Yellowstone for those who are interested in visiting the park. Campsites near the lake have fantastic views, and perfect trees for hammocks. Nice beach-like area for playing in/near the water.
