Fantastic Rural Camping
Deciding to camp here was a gamble but worth it. The road leading up was rocky and sketchy, but as long as you pay attention not a problem. The campsite itself was quiet and bare bones. Was not expecting an outhouse, so was splendidly surprised to be accommodated with that luxury. Overall beautiful woodlands with small streams running through the open fields and mountains looming in the distance.

Lovely campground near Yellowstone
This is a very nice Forest Service campground. It is not dispersed - it has 3 or 4 fixed campsites (picnic tables, metal fire ring) and one vault toilet. Beautiful spot. I imagine it normally fills up, and there’s not a lot of true dispersed camping in the area if you find it full. The roads were in good shape in September 2020.
A little too isolated
I'm all for getting away but there are benefits of having other campers nearby, especially in grizzly territory. This is definitely a back country campsite. It's free. Pack in, pack out & leave no trace. There is a single vault toilet for all campsites. I only found 3 camp sites. The road up was pretty rough when I went but my Subaru made it all right. Overall a gorgeous spot if it's what you're looking for.
