Quiet, beautiful setting but bathrooms are disgusting

Nice and quiet, with only the sound of the creek. It was nice to cool off in the water. There was a nice picnic table and fire ring. I hope to stay here again but it fills up fast. I edited this review because the se come time I stayed here the bathroom was disgusting. I wish people weren’t slobs.

Great cabin

Gast stove for cooking, wood stove for heat. Shed full of wood, fire pit and vault toilet. Beware of mice nests, otherwise cabin was great. Hiking trail right by the cabin, even found some huckleberry nearby.

Nice spot to rest

Nice stopping point between Glacier and Yellowstone. It was quiet and beautiful. The creek is fun to play in! The only negative was all the mosquitos! It was only $5 per night so it was worth it!

Unplug at this nice quiet campground

p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 115%; }

Moose Creek campground will allow you to unplug during your visit as their is no cell service at this campground.  Moose Creek campground is located along the newly paved Remini Road.  This 9 site campground is scheduled to increase to $15 per night.  The campground has two vault toilets, one at the beginning of the campground with the first three campsites.  the remaining 6 sites are at the far end of the campground and have another vault toilet to serve them.  All sites have picnic tables and fire rings.  The campground has a water pump located at the beginning of the campground, so if you are staying in the far end of the campground be sure to fill up on the way in.  Be on the look out for the campground's name sake as Moose to visit the area.  Remini road gets light traffic so you should have much in the way of car noise, and Moose Creek runs along the edge of the campground helping muffle road noise.

Nice quiet camping area

This is a nice area especially if you want to be totally isolated because there is no cell phone service here. It is close enough to Helena that you are not too far from civilization should you want to pick up supplies or make a phone call. The road is a bit rough and the vehicles do not slow down so be careful pulling out onto the main road from the campground area. They were grading the road when I was there so it was a bit of a muddy mess but otherwise it was great. Not a lot of people camp here probably because of the lack of cell service so it is a nice quiet place. The bugs can get bad because the creek runs right along side of the road.
