Eagle Creek Campground - Custer Gallatin National Forest

This is not an RV campground complete with hookups to city utilities. Rather it is a campground meant for rustic camping. While there are two (kept very clean) vault type toilets, there are no hook ups to water or power.

So why did I give 5 stars? I knew what I was getting into. I've camped here before. I gave 5 stars because of the "camp host". He was attentive, professional, knowledgeable, helpful, courteous and very friendly. So it is he who gets the 5 stars.

The staff at check in were wonderful and the facilities perfect!

Very steep hill to climb to get to campground. It is very close to the Gardiner entrance to Yellowwtone, and the view is very nice. Camp sites are spaced so that there is lots of room between sites. Sometimes elk come right into the campground. Closest campground to Gardiner entrance to Yellowsrtone.

We love this campground. Often the elk walk right through.

Small campground with very basic facilities (vault toilets, no water or garbage service), convenient location near the north entrance to Yellowstone NP. Friendly camp host. I‘d not recommend this particular side because there is zero shade. The sites near the creek are very nice though
