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.

We had a great time. Went during the week and not many campers. So it was quiet and peaceful.

Super nice and quiet campground with well maintained pit toilets! The location is great cause it’s close to Red Lodge and great for exploring the Beartooth Highway!

Beautiful little campground along the river and in the moutains. No cell service. Tons of wildlife. We saw a black bear and two moose. Bear lockers are at each site. Bathrooms were clean.

We camped in the lower loop which was very peaceful & reasonably spaced from other campers. Rock Creek was within short walking distance. Walking trails above campground.

Beautiful campground! We were camped at #23 and it was an easy spot to back into. The park is clean, quiet and spacious. The waterfall you cross when heading into the park is beautiful. It's a nice spot to stay before heading onto the Beartooth Hwy. We would definitely stay here again.
