Great camping in the heart of La

We stopped at this campground for one night on our way home. Some of the sites are close together, but we called and they put us in a spot that was very spacious. There were almost no other campers there so it helps to go in the middle of the week. The staff was very friendly and they had a great hiking path and playground for our 5 year old. I biked most of the paved roads in the state park and was able to go 13 miles without doubling anywhere. The cabins looked great from the outside and are located right on the lake. There is a long fishing pier and boat rentals. This is definitely one we will return to. Also, it is located very close to a lot of antique shopping which my wife wouldn’t let me pass up on my way home.

Great little state park campground

This place has something for everyone: camping, hiking, fishing, boating on the lake, playground for kids, and close to Trinidad for supplies and dining. Camping spots are spread out enough and have some sites with great views of the lake and surrounding mountains. You can see plenty of wildlife walking around the campground and trail. Bathrooms, showers, and laundry are very clean and well kept. All the staff that we have met were very friendly and informative, and there is another state park opening near by called Fishers Peak which looks like it will have some good hiking. This is my second time visiting here (first was just an overnight) and we will definitely stop back here anytime we are in the area.

Full hookups in GTNP

Great place to stay when visiting Grand Tetons. Full hookups and a short walk to a general store, gift shop, laundry (expensive), showers, visitor center and restaurants. Can hop on a hiking trail right in the campground or walk down to the lake and enjoy the mountain views.

Lake camping with great views

We stayed here as a one night stop over to rest between Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. It’s on a beautiful lake with Mountain views all around. It’s extremely peaceful out here and east access to the lake for kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing. There is a hiking trail through the park and it is very close to multiple trailheads in the national forest nearby. Only downside is the mosquitoes, but it’s summer so I expect them almost everywhere right now. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the price. When I selected this site it was $37 but when I put in my info and booked it was over $80. For that price we typically get full hookups, and I never pay that much for a state park in the south.

Great camping in West Yellowstone

Sites are spacious, grounds are very well kept, and staff is friendly. Easy walk to restaurants and shopping and a less than 5 minutes from the west entrance to Yellowstone

Awesome hiking

We had a great time at Monte Sano and loved that you can hike straight from your campground. The Stone Cuts was fun to see and hopefully next time we go we can make it to the Natural Well. It is also a short drive to Cathedral Caverns

Great quiet campground

We had site 39 that backed right up to the lake. Campground was very clean and easy to get around. This was a great place to get away and just sit by the lake enjoying the day. There weren’t any hiking trails but you can just walk around the whole campground which was about 4 miles. Site are pretty level, very clean, and lots of tree coverage. Just went for a second time, site 31 backs right up to the water
