We were in Buffalo F then G loops. ( Lady from Washington) was so good and helpful. Always a joy to talk with. She is a very hard worker. I feel bad I cannot remember how to spell her name. I hope she will be there for years to come.
Thanks

The area is beautiful. The camping spots are nice, large enough for big rigs and slide outs. The guys love the fishing.
Sites to see in the area are Mesa Falls (beautiful). Big Springs where Henry's Fork begins, Johnny Sack cabin, and feed the big fish, lots of fun. West Yellowstone is only 20 to 30 minutes away and of course Yellowstone west entrance. Harriman State Park is a fun place to visit to learn about the history of the area. There is also Henry's Lake State Park if you prefer lake fishing to river fishing. We go every year and love it.
