Nice spot but little shade and privacy

Wonderful access to the Yellowstone River for boating and kayaking and fishing and there is one Vault toilet and an area with a fire pit and a picnic table but other than that it's just dispersed camping in a field for self-contained trailers and campers

Too much road noise

Pretty nice spot but almost no shade anywhere all the warden told us fishing was good here. Had no luck and with full sun it was difficult to hang out longer than a few hours although an easy spot to get to very near Big Timber Montana.
