What a great little campground!! Nice and quiet and wooded right on the river and only a few minutes away from the top of Beartooth OR Red Lodge. We'll definitely be back! Thank you :)

One of my favorite campsites of all time. Beautiful place. Great location to head onto Beartooth Scenic Highway and then into Yellowstone. Truly epic. Wish our plans had gone more smoothly and could have spent more time here in the evening. Ended up getting in late. Will definitely hope to be back here one day. Wish FL wasn’t so far away.

Very much liked our campsite and location to the Beartooths... we are Montanan's and try to come here as often as we can schedule it... unfortunately we had some rude interactions from the camp host initially... worked out in the end but we felt that he could have handled our interactions/communications in a much friendlier manner... we have camped all over Montana in other campgrounds for years and just have not had a camp host jump on us like this particular one... as said, it all worked out in the end but the first day's interactions were not what we have encountered elsewhere...
