When I booked our 3 nights I had to book them in 3 different campsites, because of availability. When we arrived the camp host went to work and found us a spot so we didn't have to move our trailer each day. Very kind and great to work with. The campsite was clean and perfect for us. We had a great time!

The campsite was beautiful, while in Island Park my husband and I visited West Yellowstone and Yellowstone National Park. In preparation of our visit our wonderful camp hosts Paula and Preston noticed that the site we had reserved was wet due to recent storms, contacted me by phone on our drive up, moved us to another site so we would be safe and dry, even allowed us to extend our trip. .The camp hosts checked on us daily to make sure we were okay..make sure we had everything we needed to be as comfortable as possible during the changing weather. The outhouse facilities were cleaned and deodorized multiple times a day!! Wonderful experience and incredible camp hosts!!
