Breathtaking views & moose everywhere!

Small campground with sites a bit close together, however, the nearby creek and abundance of wildlife, as well as the views from the campground entrance make up for this. There are 2 water pumps with cold water and the vault toilets are extremely well maintained.

Campground hosts were helpful and sold firewood with a drop box to pay.

Showers are offered for $2 at thr nearby Bear Lodge, not 5 minutes away.

The Burgess Picnic area is within walking distance and has beautiful waterfalls downstream.

Peaceful

Nice little campground on Little Willow Creek. sites are nice, but a bit close to neighbors. Quiet overall except for some day traffic on nearby service road. Excellent walk/drive access to Tongue River. Hosts were amazing!

Remote and Peaceful

This small (less than 15 sites) campground was quite and remote. The steep drives made for gorgeous views. 14 Alternate is quite steep, be careful if its snowy out! We had a quite little site, few other campers (shortly after labor day weekend).
