A great place to stay close enough to Yellowstone to make a day trip up there. The campground was rather quiet because it was off-season. We would certainly stay there again.

It would have been helpful to know that the loops are connected. We pulled in after dark, did minimal setup for the night, and had to turn our rig around the next morning.
