Nice campground with plenty of spacious sites for RVs and travel trailers. We liked the paved roads and sites which made it a mostly dust-free experience in the campground. We were there mid-June Sunday-Thursday and there were plenty of first come first serve sites available. Our loop (F) remained pretty quiet, never completely filling up. River access was limited: some sites adjacent to the river had narrow paths through the tall brush, but for other sites the only access was at the far end of the campground - a small parking area with a broken boardwalk out to the edge of the river (not allowed to use the boardwalk). We enjoyed a day of biking various back roads and trails, fairly easy access from the campground via ATV trails beside the main highway.

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.

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
