    Good location. Great host!

    Great location. Close to the park entrance and West Yellowstone. Pit toilets were in really good shape. And the camp host went way beyond to help us with a situation. The campground however, really needs to provide some place for waste water for those of us who are not camping in an RV. A bear had been sighted, and there were red Active Bear Area signs everywhere, so it was critical to keep a clean site.

    Beautiful open space

    This is a beautiful spot. A little difficult to find. The road leading down to the lake looks like it’s someone’s driveway adjacent. I drove by it a few times before actually finding it. Once I got there though definitely worth it. It looks like a gravel parking lot. There were 2 small RVs already there when I got there; and a truck had pulled in sometime overnight when I woke up. The lake is gorgeous. It’s quiet and dark and very peaceful!!

    Nice place with cell service close to West Yellowstone

    I enjoyed boondocking here in my tent. I had good cell service with Google FI wireless. Also I was able to get by the road and make it in my Honda Accord. Nice place even had a bear box for food storage.

    Beautiful spot!!

    You need a reliable car/truck to get the campground, but it's a great view, and if you climb up to the Fishbowl, it is worth it! it's a great spot for hammocks as well. Overall great spot.👌

    Taylor Fork Road Dispersed

    Easy Access Campground

    This is a fantastic campground with lots of empty sites along Taylor Creek. The site I stayed at had a fire pit with lots of room to setup a tent or camper if you’re interested. Lots of distance between each campsite and again, a pretty valley view with a beautiful creek.

    Great views but poor WiFi

    Great views of the lake and mountains. Visits from the resident bison on property. Don't count on WiFi which was pretty much nonexistent.  Great laundry and showers. Tim & Trudy are great hosts and sources of knowledge about cool things to see along with Yellowstone.

    Beaverhead River RV Park

    Older RV Park used to be a KOA

    We stayed here twice this year, once going North and then headed South for home.  First time they put us in a full hook-up that was to small so I asked for a bigger spot and because about 1/3rd of the spots were empty, they moved me.  Owner was very friendly and willing to find us a better spot.  Second time was on Sunday and the note on door put us in an even smaller full hook-up, despite me asking for a bigger site so I wouldn't have to unhook.  This is one reason for only three stars.  Office was closed and no one answered the phone or returned our call.  The site was totally unacceptable.  Even if I un-hooked there was not enough room to park the pick-up truck.  Left several messages, no response.  We moved to an empty water/electric only site and set up.  An hour later another camper came in and said we were in their spot.  We moved again to another spot hoping no one would claim it.  Still no response from owner.  I guess camp is unsupervised on Sunday.  Maybe owner was out of town.

    Second reason for only three stars:  Camp is older and full hook-up sites are close to each other.  I did not see any 50 amp, only 30 amp.  The openings for dumping are a couple of inches below ground level and the kind you just point the hose down and put a few rocks over to hold it down.  Gravel sites that are mostly level.  

    The Good:  The water and electric only sites in the back (spots 28 to 36) of the park are long and spread out.  I recommend if you can go without having sewer connection, the ones in back (spots 28 to 36) are the best to stay in.  Don't get the ones in front.  Big trees and lots of grass (but watch out for the gofer holes).  Quiet and peaceful night.

    Did not use their restrooms or showers or pool (may not have been open) so no comment.  There is a dump site.  Wifi was 17 mbs but slowed down in the evening.  We use AT&T and got two bars of 5G.

    Great Campsite

    Clean campsites that are decently spaced apart. Very clean vault toilets. The dirt roads leading to the campsite were not that bad when we visited. Good cell service.

    Peaceful and Secluded

    Harrison Lake Campground is a great spot if you're looking for a quiet getaway. The campsites are spacious and well-spread out, offering plenty of privacy. It's a rustic camping experience, but the beautiful scenery and peaceful surroundings make it worth it.
    It provides a peaceful setting for campers looking for a quiet retreat, with well-spaced sites that ensure privacy.

    A Hyalite Reservoir Favorite

    The only thing that would make this campground super great would be power at each site. The fees charged here are a bit high for a basic campsite.

    Close to town and Yellowstone

    This is a nice place to boondock. There are a few level spots up here, but the road is pretty rough and pretty steep. The view into Yellowstone is gorgeous.

    So worth it !!

    This camp was so beautiful. It’s nestled right on the lake and the sunset is just stunning. The bathrooms were so clean and there was even a mural painted on the walls. There are several places to camp along the red rocks pass road if you don’t want to drive all the way down to the lake. The lake sites are so beautiful that if you opt out you’re definitely going to miss out.

    Yellowstone Park / West Gate KOA Holiday

    Friendly and accommodating staff

    They first put us by the road and we requested to change sites and they did so. The sites are not well maintained and small. Our picnic table was old and gives splinters if you’re not careful. The store is nice and bathrooms and showers are clean. Overall, it’s too pricey for conditions but doable for a short stay

    Beautiful and Busy

    This site was lovely. We pulled in around 5pm or so and there was only one spot available next to the restroom. Lucky one other spot was large and we ended up sharing it with some other campers. Picnic tables available at each site and vault toilet on site was well maintained and clean.

    It was a quiet and lovely place to rest for the evening.

    Gorgeous views and clean site

    I’m not sure why this place isn’t 5/5! We booked this site last minute as we have been exploring Yellowstone with no registrations for overnight stays. We called at 6pm (when they close) looking for space and the host said she will stay open for 30 mins till we get there. She was so very sweet and welcoming. Site was very clean, bathrooms were the cleanest we have experienced at camp sites. And the BEST views! Nice to have a designated sink for washing dishes. No bear boxes but kept everything in the car and we were good. Very bumpy road to get to the campground but sometimes it takes a rough road to get off the beaten path :) only thing was that each site has big metal fire pits and ours was totally missing. The sites next to us were vacant so we just stole the one from there.

    Just off the main road behind a hill

    Easy to drive into, and parking lot is easy to turn around in.  You can't see the main road from here, so very private.

    Spanish Lakes

    Beautiful lake

    I visited this lake last week. I love it and slope game. The water is pristine and visually appealing with no obstructions like stumps or logs, as mentioned earlier. The lake underwent complete drainage and dredging. It has been populated with eight different types of fish. I recently reeled in two bass weighing 2-3 pounds each. My wife has successfully caught numerous quality channel catfish. This lake is quite lovely. However, the landing area is shallow, restricting the launch of large bass boats.

    Rain kept the mosquitoes away!

    I spent 4 nights here just me and my dog before school starts. It rained each day which worked hugely to our benefit as there were almost no mosquitoes!! The campground is huge, with 4 loops. We stayed in loop C and on Tuesday and Wednesday night the campground was maybe half full and very peaceful, late on Thursday we did get neighbors right next to us that were pretty loud. The campground is very close to a great section of Hebgan Lake, there’s a more shallow area and places to put in your motorboats. I would really think about when you come up though, as it’s usually full of mosquitoes and on the weekend it got pretty loud and full. The specific site we were at did have terrible drainage after it rained, but only in the front so we just parked carefully. I would still give it 5/5.

    Not supposed to camp here

    Based on the dispersed camping guide provided by the Forest Service office in Gardiner, you’re not supposed to camp in the spot listed on this site. Take a left off Traveltine road, go past the rock quarry to find good sites

    Little Trail Creek Road - Dispersed Site

    Good place to stay outside of Yellowstone

    Quiet, secluded dispersed sites about 15 minutes outside of Gardiner. No trees so it gets pretty hot without shade. There are random animal bones scattered around the sites from what I assume previous hunting trips, which is a bit eerie. 

    I’d certainly stay here again for a couple nights!

    One of my favorites free camping spots

    I highly recommend staying here if you’re around Yellowstone National Park. I’ve been on a 2 month road trip around the West and this has been one of my favorite dispersed camping sites. I planned on just crashing here for a night but ended up staying for a couple days because of how beautiful this spot is. If you go, drive all the way down the gravel road and there is a nice place for people to camp out right at the level of the lake. It’s clean and a good place for families to camp out!

    Nice!!

    Was able to snag a primitive spot for one night. This campground isnt too far off I90 near 3 Forks, MT. No cell service (ATT) at the campground but 5g at the caverns. Hosts were super friendly and nice. I was in A7 which had a nice shade tree. Did not use the facilities so can’t speak to that. They had a guest speaker that night share about the bat population in MT. Very interesting!! Be sure to unhook and get to the caverns early in the morning to get a reservation to tour. We did the Paradise tour as my son is in a wheelchair. The classic tour looked super cool though!
