Really can’t complain about free camping, but this campground is just a small circle. Cars park on the outside, tents in the middle. Bison roam around, which adds a certain excitement. 12 miles of gravel road to get there. Vault toilets. Shaded Picnic tables. Beautiful views. The circle shape is the main bummer bc it affords zero privacy. Sun is brutal most of the day, and we encountered a rainstorm that collapsed half the tents and sent many people packing. I would probably go back, but only as a free spot I’m familiar with.

Stayed one night in tent. No neighbors to left or right. Really nice sites, picnic tables, bathrooms, tent pads etc. You have to use their special wood, otherwise no fires. Lots of birds. Little general store. Friendly staff. We thought it was a wonderful campground.

We leaned quickly that you experience here largely depends on luck. Night 1 of 4, we were in loop C. A soulless, treeless field engulfed in the smoke of 1,000 fires. The following day my husband asked if there might be any sites less bad, and they moved us to H Loop. A lovely wooded loop far from the big field. Some sites in the back loops even have lake view. Bathroom was nice. Bear sink very nice. Not all sites have bear boxes, but we were fine without. Everyday, we left and felt awful for the hundreds of people baking in the sun in loops A,B, C, D. Generators can be loud here. Our neighbors used theirs much of the day.

Great standard campground. We backed up to woods and had a massive site. Deer walked through, friendly camp staff and neighbors. Private. Only downside was bathrooms could use some help.

Plenty of available sites. Shade under massive cottonwoods. All with a front row view of Devil’s tower. The hosts and rangers who stopped by for payment and to say hi were the nicest I have met. Cost only $20. Super clean bathrooms. One of the nicest sites we’ve stayed at on our cross country trek.

We stayed here for two nights in two different sites (bc they were fully booked). Around check out time (11am), we stopped by our new site, saw that our reservation had been added to the post and that it looked cleaned out. We dropped our (very small) teardrop camper just in the gravel drive. As we were leaving we mentioned this to staff, and the registration person made a big stink about not allowing “early check in”, and that we needed to move our camper out until 12 so the site could be “cleaned”. Then we were told we had to be back before 6 for check in. Not the end of the world, but dude. Calm down. Often a campground will accommodate you an just an hour if you’re leaving for the whole day etc. It was pretty arbitrary. When we returned in the evening, we discovered our new site WAS the trail to the bathroom for much of F loop. 5 different people walked between our camper and us at our fire to get water or go to the bathroom. One guy remarked that it was “crazy that the campground made trails through sites”… but that’s not how trails are made. Not the campground’s fault people have difficulty navigating roads and privacy, but really an atrocious site nonetheless. One of those sites where the moon is eclipsed by the 24 hour bathroom lights and the frogs by farts. Wish there were more of those $20 National Park Service options. Xanterra and GTLC charge $46 for a horrible site. We’ve stayed at Jenny, Lizard, Colter, and Signal, and Gros was the bottom rung. Also, it’s not nearly at proximate to the NP stuff, but charges a lot. The weed whacker fellow takes quiet hours literally, and gets that thing cranking at 8:15am. I’m sure there are some nice sites, but ours was awful, and for the price, too far away and… just kind of bad. If you have the luxury of options while booking, Lizard and Signal were our favorites.
