Unplug and get away from generic campgrounds!!

We were nervous driving from Westgate Yellowstone to this campground not knowing if any sites would be available as this is a first come first served campground. Got here on Thursday morning and there were 4 sites available. This is a great campsite for tents and camper vans, However we have a 31’ travel trailer with one slide-out. It fit in site 6 with no problems. There are no hook ups at this campground, you do have access to fresh water and non-plumbed toilets. They do allow generators between 8 and 10, however  we did not run ours very much because people come here to get away from the noise. Each site is $15 a night and comes with a table/bench and fire pit. They use the envelope system so make sure you put your tag on your campsite post to secure your location. The Creek allows swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing. As expected the water is not clear and can get a little choppy when the wind picks up. All-and-all this was the first time in our trip that we truly felt disconnected and could relax. It’s worth the extra drive! Take some time and drive further into the valley it is gorgeous. Also the camp-host is very helpful and friendly. P.S. If you need to dump your tanks the Virginia RV park in Jackson let’s you dump your tanks for $15.
