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...

This is the 2nd time that we have stayed at Group A campsite. We really like it. There are hiking trails and Greenough lake is beautiful and great for fishing. The site is easy to park your trailers and vehicles.
There is only one drawback. During the day people come and use the tables that go with this site. We think there should be a sign that says if people are using group A campsite these tables are reserved for them.

Lovely campground along Rock Creek. This is our second stay there and both times the hosts have been great. We'll definitely be back!
