There are some seriously beautiful spots to camp here. Another review says that it’s $10 to camp, but that is in the actual campground. Instead of turning right to get into the campground, keep driving straight and you will find the dispersed camping. Perfectly secluded and beautiful views of the water.
Perfect location, about 20-30 mins West of Yellowstone. There are some cool spots if you’re lucky enough to snag them. Nice 13 mile trail nearby, we saw some wild strawberries!
We came here pretty late in the day looking for a place to stay. It’s dispersed camping, with random spots up the mountain. The road was definitely a little rough, but our AWD Honda CRV handled it.
Because it was so late in the day, most of the spots were occupied and we were a little nervous that we weren’t going to be able to find anything before dark. We drove up the road for a good while, unsure of when the campsites ended and when it was just a road to nowhere, BUT there is a dead end to the road. So if you are driving and wondering how far the sites go, you’ll know when you hit the end of the road. We begrudgingly started to make our way back down the mountain (about an hour and a half drive until the end of the road), and thankfully we found one last spot.
The drive was worth it, the views were amazing, and the amount of stars you could see at night were breathtaking!
