We reserved our site for three nights. The camp hosts were wonderful - very attentive, professional, and friendly. The sites were well-cared-for, the toilets were kept as clean as could be, and the camp hosts made sure we knew about current bear activity. The two sites we ended up using were nicely shady (we had a tent.) We really enjoyed our visit and look forward to going again soon!

Very nice campground. Clean. Sites adequately spaced. Easy to get to, that is right off the highway. Plenty of room for our 32-foot motorhome.

Clean sites, well spaced out for privacy. Camp manager called to make sure we would be there on time and later stopped by personally to welcome us to the camp.

I stayed for four nights. I attended a fly fishing event in West Yellowstone and spent a couple of days fishing the ranch section of the Henry's Fork. The campground was clean and quiet. Will be back someday.

We only spent one night here in the RV loop on our way to Yellowstone NP. This is a great campground, close to the river, with probably the cleanest vault toilet I've ever seen. We'll definitely be back for a longer stay
