What Guests Are Saying
Rombo campground is praised for its beauty, cleanliness, and exceptional camp host, Bill, who is highly regarded for his friendliness and helpfulness. The facilities, including the bathrooms, are consistently noted as clean and well-maintained. Some sites can be challenging for larger trailers, and there were minor issues with toilet paper availability, but overall, visitors express a strong desire to return.

This is one of the best campgrounds I’ve ever stayed in, with beautiful, quiet, very large sites and the magnificent West Fork of the Beartooth River.. Sites 4 and 5 are best, in my opinion, but there are also 3 very nice sites which are first come , first served, and those 3 are really nice as well.. Site 2 is spacious and very private.. The campground is great for exploring the riverbank and has a lot of huge, gorgeous Ponderosa Pines.. The only drawback is the broken water system, there is only one place to get water. I hope that gets fixed..

Well, we arrived to a campground nearly devoid of people (cool), with a super creepy vibe. I’m familiar with that fork of the river, but was inexplicably uncomfortable. We decided within ten minutes that - especially given the fire ban - we wouldn’t be staying, but there was no camp host to speak to. There was an empty site marked ‘Host’ but not so much as a water jug to indicate someone was staying there. Also, we had tried to reschedule our stay prior to arrival and the Rec.gov site showed that it was full and not possible. Said the same thing for a few other reservations we had. None of which was true upon our arrival. Whenever we DID have a camp host present, they freely expressed their frustration with the rec.gov system…. Soooo

We loved this site! We brought a church group of girls and it was perfect for multiple tents and hammocks. We reserved 4 and 5 and it was perfect for our little group. There are 3 tables at site 4 which were so useful! We loved being right next to the river and the girls loved catching frogs there.
I love how private it felt because the sites are nicely spaced out. There was lots of shade which was appreciated. The camp hosts were very kind and accommodating. They kept the vault toilets clean. Potable water was easily accessible.
I would absolutely come back and bring my family!

This is a hidden gem. Hard to believe though that the water has not been on for over 7 years due to maintenance issues. That is frustrating.
