The cannot if amazing. Keeps you cool but keeps your solar charging and Starlink connection low. River nearby. Great location to hit the Bear Tooth and back in the same day.

2nd year at this campground. The sites are easy to back into, far enough apart, and have everything you need (fire ring, Bear box, outhouse, and spigots) on-site or close by. The host was friendly and the other guests were respectful (for the most part).

The camp is impeccably maintained. The hots are friendly and extremely helpful. Most of the visitors are local (Billings, MT) and are well versed at tending to a clean campsite.

Campsites along the creek are great, but they go fast. We were lucky to find #3 open, it is wonderful, wooded and peaceful with a view of the hillside behind the creek. We did 3 days of hiking and enjoyed them all: Silver Run near the camground, Lake Fork a few miles south, and West Fork at the end of the road.
