This is a small campground. The facilities were nice and well maintained. There are hiking trails off campground and in area. The views are fantastic.

Great location off Beartooth Hwy.& many spots have great creek views. Small enough to keep area quiet. The cleanest pit toilets I’ve ever used. Good hiking right from the campground. Close to forest road that goes for a long ways down the canyon. This canyon is even more intriguing from the views looking down from Bear Tooth Hwy., I’d bet there are great boondocking spots nearby, next time I would gravel ride that canyon.

Very pristine, nice site by the river, rushing water, granite mountains rising from the valley. We'll definitely stay there again when traveling through the area.

Quiet park with beautiful creekside sites as well as easy access to Red Lodge, Beartooth highway and area hiking. We enjoyed the nearby Greenough Lake for trout fishing and spent some time watching a local moose graze.
