We reserved 6 months in advance our spot. When we showed up there were people in our spot and the situation was not handled correctly.

This was our best spot in our three week tour of ID, WY & MT. The hosts are super nice and super helpful. And OMG, the bathrooms are positively first class! We were very comfortable and the river view is right out of a movie. Riverside morning coffee quickly became a thing. Go there!

The out houses were the cleanest I have ever seen them! All the campers were enjoying themselves. There was no rowdy party crowd that kept everybody up all night. Everyone was respectful of the quiet hours. I was very appreciative of the sheriff who knocked on our camper door at 2 AM to let us know a bear had been spotted in our area. It was nice to know that people care about our safety. This is my go to spot every Fourth of July! I plan on keep coming back!

Beautiful campground!! Loved staying here and wish we stayed longer. Best campsites are 5-7 which are near the River.

Very nice, hosts were great and informative. Website stated that we could have campfires that is why we drove 4 hours to this place. When we got there we couldn't have campfires. If we hadn't already paid for it we wouldn't have stayed. Very disappointing with the false information.

Easy to find. Quiet and right by the river for nice calming white noise. Only complaint is there were lots of campers having fires when there’s clearly a fire ban in Montana. So not sure why the camp host was allowing this activity.
