Camp lot: 15 - Big Tent
The spot was great for a tent in cooler temperatures. Has Full Sun. You can hear the creek faintly in the distance. the two restrooms we visited were kept very clean and had deodorizers in them to keep them smelling fresh. Dale and Lauretta were kind and very friendly. Dale was nice enough to take our big garbage from our site to the dump in his gator and Lauretta stopped by and gave us some unbelievable delicious homemade treats! I recommend going to see Shell Falls which is really close to the campground. 7 miles away takes about 15 - 20 min to get there by vehicle.

Beautiful campground. The running creek was amazing and shaded. Hosts were really nice. Drive was a little rough in our motorhome but well worth it. Stayed only 1 night as a stopover to continue to Yellowstone. Wish we stayed a little longer.

Very beautiful little valley, a good distance from any Highway noise and not far from a stunning canyon.
Most sites had great access to the shady stream side along Shell Creek.
Some are quite exposed to sun.
