Very basic campground. No parking pads just grass. Our site was very uneven. It was close to Yellowstone and that was our main focus. Since we left early each morning and came back late it worked for us, but it would not be a nice place to hang around camp.

The location of the campground is ideal-less than 2 mi from the entrance to Yellowstone. The camp spots are very close to each other with no shade, but the views are spectacular.
The outhouse was adequate.

Awesome campsite! Impeccable views, aside from the grizzly bear trying too break into my neighbors car in the middle of the night it was a really great experience. I would absolutely stay here again

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 mi hike down to the Yellowstone River was also wonderful. Host was super attentive and caring.
