Small but nice campsite. All the sites in the area were full when we arrived to Livingston (Sunday of labor day weekend). When we got to the site it seemed like it was full - took a closer look and no one took the tags off of the site post before leaving. We were the only tent in the site - quiet grounds. Bathrooms were actually surprisingly clean. Great location - $18 - steps away from the Yellowstone River - awesome view. Would totally recommend.
Stopped here because we got tired of driving on the way to glacier from Yellowstone. Awesome little spot. Didn’t do much other than pitch a tent and eat dinner. Friendly and helpful host. $18 to camp for the night - got there around 7pm and there was plenty of space. Highly recommend.
Fish creek campground was listed as “reservation only”. You could reserve on recreation.gov (terrible website) We stopped by around 7:30am - knew it was full but wanted to see what all the hype was about. Turns out they had 5 cancelations for that day - so we grabbed a spot at A16. Nice site - Privite on one side but unfortunately right next to a large RV but that’s not the parks fault now is it? The facilities were kinda bad - men’s bathroom had only one stall and one urinal? With over 20 sites in loop A? Hm. Showers were closed due to covid - a real bummer coming from Teton and Yellowstone where the showers are open. They did have a dump sink that I did appreciate. All in all we got a nice spot near the lake - quiet site - very good location (but also the only campground open in the park) would recommend if you are able to get a reservation online but certainly nothing to write home about.
Arrived at 3am on Friday morning - we were 3rd in line. Managers of the camp are amazing - check in was simple and efficient. I do have to say there was 20+ cars in line behind us - only let in a handful of cars. Lots of people were turned away. Camp sites are very different - ones with a view of the mountains have no shade / ones with shade have no view. We got out of the car around 6am - took a walk through the site. You can see what date everyone is leaving - I highly advise that you write down sites that you want to camp in. Managment walks down the line of cars and you get to pick with the site then. We got site #46 and it’s a dream. Not too close to any other sites and has An amazing view but no shade - close to trash, entry way, showers (very nice / hot water / $4.50) and bathrooms with out being too close. Perfect proximity. Also - don’t buy the fire wood from the visitor center - it’s treated or not dry - absolute smoke show. FULL DISCLOSURE: very popular - green foot central.
