What Guests Are Saying
Rattin Campground offers a beautiful setting with clean, spacious campsites and well-maintained bathrooms, making it a pleasant place to stay, especially for those exploring the Beartooth area. While some campers experienced issues with a less-than-friendly camp host and concerns about bear activity, the overall cleanliness and size of the sites were appreciated. However, potential visitors should avoid spots 2 and 3 due to a lack of privacy.

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.

The campground was fine and the camp host was very nice and gave us all the information we needed. The valet bathroom was very clean so no problems there. The only complaint was the road coming in 3 miles of holes was not fun. Thank goodness we had our pick up and we just had to drive about 15 miles per hour so we didn’t tear our truck or camper up. We will definitely stay again on our travels. Hopefully the south entrance will be open.

I’m so sorry that the bridges in the area were washed away. This must be an outstanding expense for the area. The only access means taking an extremely rough road that did some damage to my camper setup. Use caution as one vehicle rolled down a hill the day before my arrival. Host was helpful and very friendly. Be prepared to pay $10 for the 5 small pieces of wood that comes in the bundle. Otherwise it’s a nice campground and I slept like a baby.

You guys need to note if campsites are "conjoined", aka, share a firepit with another campsite. This was a terrible experience. Nowhere did it say that this campsite was basically half of one big campsite with another party in the exact same immediate area! I want a refund!
