The campground was well maintained and the site was very clean and spacious. The restrooms on our loop were very clean and as pleasant as is possible for a pit toilet.

We were able to attend the exhibit on bats!
Super interesting and fun. A little dated on the presentation but way cool.
Maybe spray for mosquitos?
And can someone get rid of the cactus around the campground !
Hard on dogs and little kids in the lawn areas.
Always a great place to camp.

We loved site 10 along the river. It’s in the trees but there is some open area for the solar to recharge. We fished Rock Creek in the campground and caught some rainbows. Beautiful area and relaxing campground!
We ate at the Carbon County steakhouse in Red Lodge - wonderful steaks and food. Also, stopped at Cattail bakery for delicious pastries.
We hope to return next year!

We absolutely loved this campground! The river is close to the site. There was a moose with twin babies on our site! Peaceful, clean campground. However, No water fill - had to pump water into our tank. No dump station, but a gas station in town provided free dumping. (Convenience store/gas at the roundabout.
