Beautiful views, clean bathrooms and it’s only a short walk (about 1/4 mile) to get to Greenough Lake.

We were in site 10 for 8 days. During the week the campground was very quiet. Over labor day weekend the CG was full but still pretty quiet. Mike, the CG host was kind and efficient. He kept the bathrooms cleaned and well stocked. We caught over 30 Rainbow Trout in Greenough Lake, but released them all. Not many others seem to be catching fish, but we had good luck every day we fished. There is lots to do in the area in fishing, hiking, driving Beartooth Highway, Red Lodge. Highly recommended!

We never made it to the campground due to construction road closures. If you are staying at this campground, check to see if the road closures will affect you. When we were there the Beartooth Highway (212) was closed from 7pm to 7am - we only found out as we were leaving Yellowstone and of course we weren’t going to make it by 7. The campground should have this information in the “need to know” that they send out prior to the reservation.
