This USFS campground is very close to the eastern entrance of Yellowstone, and maybe that’s why it had such a busy, chaotic vibe. We drove through it on a Friday afternoon in  and all the sites were taken. To tell the truth, I’m not sure if we would have stayed there even if a spot was available. The sites were dusty and open with little privacy. 

Gendered handicap accessible vault toilets, dumpsters, host on site.

$15/night. Reservations can be made here, apparently, as there were several empty sites marked with a “reserved” sign. Each site has a bear box, fire pit, and picnic table. No tent camping allowed here due to bear activity. Hard sided campers only. Keep your food and anything that smells like food inside!! 

Closes in the fall for the season. 16 day stay limit. No cell service.
