GuideThere are quite a few sites here for dry camping. Roads were decent however larger rigs may struggle venturing into the trees. We rode our Ebikes to Henry’s Lake - such a beautiful ride. ATV trails connect for miles. We visited in late September and cows were roaming thru the sites. There were very few campers near - great place!
ScoutIt’s October 22. All the campsites in the national parks are closed. This is a good site. It’s “open”.
TravelerThe reason it’s a 5 is because Preston hooked us up last minute with a spot and electrical. Everything else in west Yellowstone closed or full. Looks like a great spot when RV park is open!
TravelerSide by side camping for $120per night (senior rate) but all that’s open end of season. Upside I guess it’s it’s close to park, convenient to town and easy in and out.
LegendLarge open area. Each site has a picnic table, bear storage, and fire pit. No privacy from camp site to campsite. Each area is pretty flat and level though! pit toilet was pretty gross (not the worst) but there was pee, and poop on the seat.
LegendYou are surrounded by very pretty mountains at this camp. Had some snow, but its starting to melt. No issues with bugs.
Had a hard time getting my van flat. Had a few other people at the camp while we were there.
It had a few bear bins sprinkled throughout along with some pit toilets.
Had great sky clearing for the starlink.
GuideThe views of the river are incredible! There are several campsites, many limited to 2 spots so you have to get here early. There are very few spots that can accommodate RVs, this is mostly tent camping.
TravelerWe have a 24ft motorhome with one sleeping side slider. Fitting into the full hookup is tight. Our door opens up right into the next spot. Slider can’t open full. Crammed campers for everyone.
LegendWell, maintained campground with flat spots. Everything you need from electric to toilets and reasonably priced. I caught it a few days before it closed. And the campground hosts are very engaged in taking care of it and on top of everything that is happening. Super nice.
