We had such a good spot (#7) that was right next to the creek. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the beautiful scenery. We have camped many times at Eagle Creek and have enjoyed every one of them.

Best view I've ever had from a campground. A bit hot and buggy (because of location) but had amazing wildlife viewing and host was very available.

The location was great! The biting black flies during the day were terrible.

Proximity to Yellowstone and Gardiner was really nice. Proximity to a gorgeous 5 mile hike down to the Yellowstone River was also wonderful. Host was super attentive and caring.

Enjoyed my visit to Eagle Creek Campground. Camp host Duane was very helpful and seemed to take a genuine interest in safety and providing helpful information. Great view of Gardiner from the road up to the campground. I have booked a few more campsites in the coming months.

Great location at the entrance to Yellowstone. Camp host was knowledgeable and helpful. The campsites are mostly not level, but given the great location, easy to overlook that factor. Would definitely stay again.

Great campground with amazing views, this place was all we needed for the night. Camp host stopped by our site to check us in and relay rules, the sites and drop toilets were clean. Little to no shade so be aware it could be hot and windy up on this plateau.

Such a gorgeous setting. The Mountain View’s all around were spectacular. The host was super helpful too. Easy access to the north entrance to Yellowstone and a quick drive into Gardiner for anything you need, yet you really feel immersed in nature and away from the crowds. We loved it and hope to return.

Awesome spot with a bird’s eye view to the valley. The host was super friendly and helpful with suggestions. A happy guy!
The sites were quiet, well spaced with an evening sunset bonus. Don’t let the drive up keep you away!
