Lily Lake

Make sure to get directions ahead of time, there is no service coming from Yellowstone, luckily we saved the map ahead of time. We pulled in on a Saturday night around 7pm and snagged a spot up top. We didn’t go down by the lake or check out those sites but we saw about 6+ spots up top. All had nice views and were far from the main road. The road was smooth coming up, but looked rough going down to the lower sites/boat ramp.

Better than a lot of the established sites on the Beartooth as it’s pretty spaced out. A couple of notes: • the gravel road leading up to the site is narrow but apparently newly graded so not as rutted as previous reviews stated. • the upper disbursed sites have less shade but more space between neighbors and spectacular views. • do not drive past the boat ramp if you have a larger rig than a van. There’s two really cool sites that direction but no good turn around and you’ll have to back up quite a ways.

We camped downhill closer to the lake. Bear boxes and rock ringed fire pits available. Lots of biting flies and mosquitoes even in mid August. Nice hikes to and around the lake. Definitely Grizzly country so be prepared. No cell

Nice dispersed campground. Terribly rough rutted out road to get to the campground. Would not recommend for low clearance cars. The vault toilet is very rank smelling. The sunrise over the lake is worth it though.
