    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.

    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.

    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.

    Bootjack Dr.

    A good amount of dispersed areas here. All the areas in the open meadow area closer by the road was occupied. We choose a dead end road and had the area all to ourselves. Had to back up the road about 200 feet because there was no turn around for the size of our rig (36 foot 5th wheel). But it is doable.

    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.

    Great spot. Good views if you get a spot close to the the creek. Easy to get to and the road was in good condition. Some cell phone reception. Some flies. Some noise from the road close by but not an issue. Please be respectfull of wild life in the area (there are fish and small frogs in the creek). Please dont disturb them, dont get in the creek

    Be comfortable with your neighbor!

    You definitely need to be comfortable being close to your neighbor as sights aren’t private & close together. Restrooms ok and it was great having a dishwashing station.

    There are no showers here. Fires were allowed & they provided a 5 gallon bucket near a spigot to put out fire.
    Each campsite had a large bear box.

    Amazing Campground

    We were only able to book 1 night online. However when we checked in we asked if they had an extra night & we got lucky to get one as the person in front of us canceled his reservation! So don’t give up if u can only get one night!

    Loved this campsite. We were in loop J and our side was semi-private. Fires were allowed. Each campsite has a large bear box. Bathrooms were good and each location had a dishwashing station with drinking water near it. Generators not allowed from 8:00 PM-8:00Am A handful of shops around and a gas station near by. Showers were awesome & clean & they have TONS of washers & Dryers for Laundry!! By far one of the best NP campgrounds!

    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.

    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!

    Last resort only

    This is pretty much a tourist trap. We got out of work late and didn’t find a spot at loch leaven and had to be on the river early, so we just gave it a try. $30, no fires allowed, essentially just a grass field. There were a couple picnic tables scattered about. Would be better off at the free old saloon camping field.

    Great for Visiting Yellowstone NP

    Rainbow Point was an excellent choice for my visit to Yellowstone. It is not too far from the Western Entrance, and it is well maintained. Bear box on site, which eased my unprepared mind. A friendly lady came around to warn everyone of a nearby bear, which actually made me feel safer. Beautiful setting in its own right. Highly recommend!

    The best part of the park to see wildlife is without a doubt the north end. We saw everything from elk to bears and with such close proximity to mammoth there is so much to do.

    Gardiner is so close if you need a dump station or a laundry solution.

    Great RV option for visiting Yellowstone

    Really enjoyed the stay. Really nice shower are. Nice electric hook-ups at the rv sites. Only some sites have septic, and unfortunately, the dump station was down during our visit, but we got to hear stories from a native American. It was truly an amazing stay. We also enjoyed bird watching and kayaking. Of course, our main point of the visit was Yellowstone not very far away. ( gas and other stuff is cheaper in Montana)

    Their website is very misleading

    This was the smallest campground we have ever stayed at. All hookups worked but your neighbors are truly only 4 feet away. This is not the place to go if you like hanging out outside the camper. Location to Yellowstone is great and if you only need a space to sleep and have full hookups, it’s fine.

    Very good, one tiny issue

    Wonderful spot. Forested & shady, but with some meadows too. Several trails for ATVs & hiking. Rather warm, but not bad for July.

    Only real issue is that it seems to be ONLY used by ATVers and large trailer campers. Can be loud, as everyone drives around, but otherwise not bad.
