Remote Campground with Plenty of Wildlife to See

After a steep, curvy road of about 10 miles from a main road, you will get to this campsite. The good thing about it is that you really feel as if you are experiencing nature at its finest. The bad thing is that you will be far from the nearest town or store. The road is single lane access at times, but the drive is WELL WORTH IT. Early in the morning or late in the afternoon, you can drive about a mile, and sometimes less, to see elk and lots of them. There are few amenities--no access to electricity, no on-site water, no showers, etc., but the sites are large enough that you don't feel crammed in. As far as the amenities, if you are prepared, water and electricity is not a huge factor. If you like hiking, there are miles of hiking trails, especially since this campground is located in a national park. There are also several historic structures in the area--a school, a church, barns, old houses, etc.
