Great campground. Hosts are very helpful. Sites are clean, many are secluded. Restrooms are kept clean and have appropriate outside lighting with minimal light pollution. I highly recommend this campground.

Great campground and facilities. Quite remote and high in altitude, it makes for a great place to stay cool at night away from crowds.
Definitely a place to go back!

We have been to standing Indian 4 times now and we really love it! Amazing hiking at the campground as well as surrounding area. Many waterfalls to visit/explore. Our kids love all the creeks. Bathrooms are clean with hot showers. The folks in the shop are always friendly and very helpful. We will be back next year!

Camp Ground was clean and well kept. Two very lovely water falls not far. And lots of trails, well maintained for the most part.

Group C site was great- across a small creek that separated us from the rest of the individual sites- shared pit toilets with another group site but were quite far from them. Nice creek running on both sides.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience. It was our first stay at Dtanding Indian. It is a clean, peaceful, beautiful setting. And, we had nice weather. The area is well maintained and the people are friendly. Campsites are nicely spaced -- you don't feel like you are on top of other campers. We highly recommend Standing Indian and will be returning.

Standing Indian was a beautiful, clean, well kept campground. It was quiet at night except for the sounds you would expect, like Coyotes! The bathrooms were clean as well. It was a great experience and we will be back!
