The location and size of the campsite was great. Our only complaint was that the compost toilets were extremely dirty and needed cleaning, with toilet paper missing in two of the toilets.

Paul the camp guide was excellent. Everything was cleaned well and tidy. He was vigorously sanitizing the bathrooms and public areas. He was a pleasure to talk to and had a wealth of knowledge about the area. I have stayed at a lot of camp grounds and this was the best by far. Can’t wait to return! Thanks Paul!

Location close to Red Lodge and Beartooths can't be beat. Multiple trailheads just across the street. One of the cleanliest, best maintained National Forest campgrounds available (they even had 2-ply TP during the great TP shortage of 2020!). The camp host is salt of the earth, remarkable. Every part of our experience was memorable, including the family of moose residing just outside the campground.
