Was surprised at the layout of this campground loop when we pulled in. Thankfully it was just a pit stop on our drive out west, but it was essentially a parking lot. Also surprised there were essentially semi-permanent campers set up. Did not live up to what I would expect at a state park and there were zero views of the lake from any of the campsites (tree line was heavily overgrown). Would not recommend if you are staying for more than a night.
We pulled in to get out of the snow storm and get an early dinner. Beautiful campground but very small, only 9 sites. The first site was the only one open and listed as a double. Other than two picnic tables, not sure what makes it a double. Not much room for two vehicles and certainly not multiple tent sites. But it served it’s purpose for us. There is a little road noise from the main road, but hard to hear over the rushing creek just behind the site. Amazing well water is worth the effort to hand pump.
Found this gem after evacuating Yellowstone at 8pm. Drove over the pass and took a chance on this at 11pm. Woke up in the morning to snow and a beautiful campground. Wish we could have explored it more as it was an amazing site.
The hosts/checkin folks were great and still checking in people at 9:30. Pulled in without a reservation after a long drive and was pleasantly surprised to find them still working. Simple sign in and we were at our site. Seems like a large campground but very quiet. The Erie group is all fairly open except for the perimeter but didn’t bother us because we were out at daylight. Only one bathhouse, but many pit toilets around the grounds. Lots of bugs at night in our area.
