What Guests Are Saying
Rattin Campground is praised for its beautiful surroundings and exceptionally clean bathrooms, making it a pleasant place to stay, especially for those visiting nearby Red Lodge and the Beartooth Highway. Reviewers appreciate the spacious campsites and well-maintained facilities. However, sites 2 and 3 are noted for their lack of privacy, as they are closely situated and share amenities, which can be inconvenient for some campers.

Very secluded, small and quiet campground. Beartooth River is just a short walk away (20-30 yards). The pit toilet was the cleanest and best smelling one I've ever used. Only there one night, so didn't get to explore much, but it's a ten minute drive to get to the town of Red Lodge.

Best campground ever! Wally is amazing and the best camp host we had at any of our campgrounds. He kept the bathrooms spotless (as much as you can for vault toilets lol). Campgrounds are clean and well spaced.
