We really enjoyed our stay here. You could tell from the onset that the camp was well taken care of. The Vault toilets were very clean and had air fresheners in them as well. The host was very helpful about giving info about things to do in the area. Beautiful area and the Beartooth Highway is just a few minutes away.

The campground was extremely clean, the hosts were very friendly and helpful, and the location of the campground is great. We saw a mama moose and her babies both nights we were there.
