We were next to the outhouse, and the smell was bad at certain times, but still had a great time

Very nice campground in Caribou-Targhee NF. Sites are well maintained, clean and generally have plenty of room. Amazing that this campground is about 30 miles from Yellowstone West Gate and it had multiple open sites the entire time we mere there.

We originally made reservations in F loop which has no electricity. Upon arriving, we looked into C loop which has electricity. We found one site in C that was available and we were able to move into it instead. The site, C07 was a pull through and shaded. The campsite was very quiet and clean.We did hear some traffic noise from the main road but it wasn't bad. The restrooms were pretty clean as well. The camp host, Janet was a nice lady and very accommodating. We are picky with which campgrounds we will stay at and this one was great. Will likely stay there again.
