This was a wonderful experience. The campground was clean, quiet, well cared for and contained breath taking views. Access to the Beartooth Highway was convenient, too. I would highly recommend this campground. Thank you for making this a truly spectacular experience. We will definitely come back.

We stayed here after a long day on the Plateau, and it was nice, super quiet, but also a little exposed/hot in the afternoon. We stayed at site #5 and the picnic table and fire pit were right next to the road, and the tent site was very near the host's trailer, so not a ton of privacy (though Wally himself was wonderful). Next time we might opt to stay in the Valley, but this was a perfectly lovely location.

We stayed at a number of campsites on a 3-week camping trip across the western half of the US. This was by far our favorite campground. It was clean, the host was nice and left you alone for the most part. Each site had a fire ring, a picnic table, a well-sized bear box, a flat area for your tent that was a little away from the fire ring, and clean bathrooms. Each site was nice and private and had good spacing between the other campsites. There was a lot of tree coverage, which was really nice for that added privacy aspect. We stayed at the campsite that was at the very end of the road, which was great. But- be mindful, there is a private residence at the end of the drive- it's odd. So, just know that if you stay at that site #, you'll have their cars coming in and out and you can see part of their property. It wasn't too big of a deal.
Beautiful site! Highly recommend.

This is a very small campground which is what I like as it is less busy. The last site is a dead end and even though there is a sign, people are continually driving down the road and having to turn around. There is hiking nearby and it is on Rock Creek and has a group camping area.
