Rough road but good spot

Pretty place up a mtn road not far out of West Yellowstone. The road had some pretty bad spots tho. I made it up in an F350 with a Capri camper on it. So not impossible. Also the spot on the map was taken but I'm just up the road to the left at a spot clearly marked by a well used fire ring (we didn't build a fire tho). Anywho. It's a good spot.

Great little spot.

Great camping spot just off the road. It’s perched near a hill so you get slivers of views through the trees of West Yellowstone. Has a fire pit but that’s it. 2 bars of Verizon service. Lots of trees. This is the only spot I see there are probably lots of places to camp here but this one is developed. Rough road getting up here but totally doable.
