We only stayed here for one night because we were just passing through, but if we decide to visit Yellowstone again in the future, we will definitely consider this location.

The price was excellent and we got a chance to walk near the river in the evening. Our Starlink worked for basic Internet access, but as soon as we tried to hop on a work call, the obstruction (the beautiful trees around our site) were too much for the system to handle. Just a consideration to think about if you are trying to work from the road.

Convenient location for staying close to Yellowstone. The hosts that were there seemed like they were burned out and not overly friendly. A host from lonesomehurst campground started covering on Tuesdays and she was exceptional. Extremely friendly and helpful

Great campground! Very nice hosts! We arrived at about 6 p.m., and there were still a few places left. There was a cell and 5G! There were bear boxes on each campsite, clean toilets, and nice privacy between campsites! It was $26. Overall we had a great time, would be happy to stay again!

We spent 2 nights here in Sept. 2023 during our Yellowstone & Tetons roadtrip. The site host was kind and helpful. I can't remember the nightly fee. This is bear country so come prepared. There are bear boxes and vault toilets on site. The sites also have fire rings. They were easy to get in and out of with our small pull behind. Would 10/10 go stay here again. It's the only place during our trip... We spent 2 nights here in Sept. 2023 during our Yellowstone & Tetons roadtrip. The site host was kind and helpful. I can't remember the nightly fee.

We stayed here for a few days to explore Yellowstone. This whole campground is pretty primitive. We had a tent campsite (no electric/water). It was exactly what we wanted and price was good. It was nice and quiet. No running showers/bathrooms.

We stayed here for a few days to explore Yellowstone. This whole campground is pretty primitive. We had a tent campsite (no electric/water). It was exactly what we wanted and price was good. It was nice and quiet. No running showers/bathrooms. The bathrooms were outhouses with one toilet per outhouse, no sink, and smelled pretty bad by the end of the day (due to people not closing the toilet lid and the summer heat) but there was staff who regularly cleaned them. We saw a huge grizzly bear that walked up on us as we were cooking over the fire one evening, they have bear boxes on each campsite for food storage but BRING BEAR SPRAY if you stay here. You have been warned. Beautiful river right next the to campground to fish in, might be deep enough to swim. Overall, great experience. The folks who worked there were lovely. We'll be back and definitely recommend this campground.
