Beartooth Scenic Byway Camping

I stayed here last week for one night. I backed my van right up to the river with an amazing view of Pilot Peak in the background, and fell asleep to the sounds of the rushing water. It's an amazing spot to stay on your way into, or out of, the Beartooth Highway.

Stunning views of the River & Pilot Peak!

Turn left not right. The road is easy to miss, just a little dirt road off the left side of the road coming out of the NE entrance of Yellowstone 10 minutes passed Cooke city. No service but the bistro in Cooke city will give you WiFi if you eat there and that helped us get our navigation. This is my favorite place by far. The photos will show you why. 

My favorite spot!

This was hands-down one of the best campsite areas I ever found. National forest so it was open and free to whoever. Several spots just off Beartooth highway from Joseph Highway west to the Montana boarder. Most turnoffs have places for three or four different groups to camp. Some with bear boxes and some without. Most are only a rocks throw from water.
Crazy creek is a waterfall area across from crazy Creek Campground. Very worth the short hike.
Yellowstone is only 10 or 15 miles to the west and the town of Cook City is there if you need any basic supplies. 

Best free camping anywhere!!

Beautiful spot. No cell service. Can stop at the bistro in town for food/wifi. Bathroom was very clean. Large open area available for camping.
