Wonderful BLM campground

Well maintained campgrounds. It is 2.2 miles off the main highway up a steep winding grade. There are two loops with several sites in each and then there are more sites along the road above the two loops. There is one groups handicapped accessible site in the upper loop. The waterfall is a short .5 mile hike above the campground. Beautiful sunset vistas.

Nice tucked away spot with a creek

Only one spot was suitable for a car camping, the rest were for tents. There is a big waterfall up at the top of the campground, short hike. Spot had a bench, 2 picnic tables and a firepit. The creek was rushing right below the site. 2 bathrooms and trash cans. Only $7/night.

Great campground for tents and tiny campers

This is a beautiful little BLM campground. The lower campsites are primarily for tents, and some require a short walk on pathway to access. They are right beside a pretty little creek. Farther up the road are several more sites that would lend themselves to small RVs. They aren't as pretty, as they are more exposed, and you can't see or hear the creek. The big drawback for some will be the very narrow, extremely switchbacked and steep road up to the campground (no guardrails). It really is fine for a car or truck and a short little (think Casita or Scamp), but a sign says no vehicles over 24' and I wouldn't want to do it with anything close to that! Probably for this reason, the campground is usually less than half full and offers a restful visit. The namesake waterfall is less than a mile hike from campground, and is well worth the hike, especially early in the summer.

Quiet and picturesque

There are only small sites available and the road up would not accommodate a very large rig. Any car could make it as long as there isn't any snow or ice. All sites are next to a small beautiful stream. All sites have picnic tables, fire rings and small trails between sites along the stream. The falls is maybe less than a mile up the trail. The trail was moderately easy with few obstacles but some small grade climbs. My 9 year old made it fine. There is a single vault toilet in the center of camp and no other facilities. Once they close the highway for the season access will be cut off until thaw. Great place to get away for a few days, daytrip to medicine wheel, Burgess junction, big horn canyon, shell falls, wild horse range and several other smaller attraction. Probably three hours from Yellowstone. Id recommend it for a quiet get away or a stop on the way through. It's about 30 minutes to the nearest store. Bird and wildlife watching, reflection and solitude would be the things you could find easiest here. Very pretty scenery. Cannot stress that enough.
