Nice and quiet location
Very nice little campground albeit a little pricey. If you are looking for a good base camp to go adventuring along the Beartooth Highway, this is a great option. Right along Beartooth Lake, vault toilets in each of the 3 loops and running water in Loop B. Loop C is set the farthest back and some of the sites aren't the most level. I opted for Loop B and it was quite pleasant. You have to get your payment envelope at Loop A. The road can be a bit rough. At $15 a night it seemed like a lot for what I needed. No service with Verizon. Great access to hiking trails.
Comfortable Alpine Camping
We came to Beartooth Lake via Red Lodge on the Beartooth Highway. It’s a remarkable drive with views for days.
We didn’t have reservation coming up here, but found a beautiful site FF. We ended up in C19 and I’d highly recommend coming down to the last loop as there are only 4 sites and back here and two babbling brooks running down to the lake.
Sites were well maintained, spacious and protected from others. Toilets were FS toilets and got the job done.
We took a hike to the backside of the lake which had numerous shallow creek crossings and great vistas across the lake.
I don’t have any other campgrounds to compare to up here, but I would without hesitation come back.

Nice campground on the Beartooth Scenic Byway! Site had plenty of room and were spread apart. Mosquitos here are no joke but disperse quickly when camp boundary sprayed. Store nearby with very nice owners. Follow the byway all the way to Red Lodge for some fantastic views! No cell service!
