The campground host Helen took pride in the work she did the campground was very clean as were the bathrooms she would also greet any new guest as they arrived. With the fire danger so high I believe the trees surrounding the fire pits should be trimmed higher up. Stayed a week and used the campground as base for visiting Yellowstone and Tetons
