Beautiful area, super clean bathrooms! Beware! Site number 2 and 3 are right on top of each other and share the same bear box so we had no privacy and were forced to socialize with our neighbor which was annoying

Beautiful area, campsite was large and set up well. Bathroom area clean and maintained.
Second time here & highly recommend! Right after Beartooth pass and close to Red Lodge.

The site for the travel trailer was a parking lot next to the dumpster, with bears frequenting.

DO NOT book spots 2 or 3. They are essentially the same spot with two picnic tables, two fire pits and one bear locker. There is nothing to separate them. Absolutely ridiculous.

Small campground nestled between Red Lodge and the Beartooths. Clean bathrooms. We would stay again!

The sites are a little close. Site 1 did not have a large area that was flat on the grass to set a tent unless you set on the gravel pad. Loved hearing the running water all night. Cannot complain. Pit toilets were clean and maintained. AT&T had one bar of service.

This was a very nice little campground. It's right next to Rock Creek, which is really nice. The outhouse was very clean and stocked with toilet paper. A great place to stay if visiting Red Lodge or the Beartooth Highway. I would definitely stay here again.

Small but nice campground. Sites 1-3 are in a simi circle and are somewhat close together. Site 4 is for the camp host. Site 5 is a nice tent or campervan site. We were in site 6 and while they claim it is a tent site, there was no where to put up your tent except on the parking pad next to your vehicle. Site 7 is first come first serve and did have room for a tent. No one else was there except the host and we never saw him. I saw the review where someone claimed to have to share a fire pit and that was not the case while we were there. Each site had a fire pit.
