Beautiful location with amenities as described in the campgrounds webpage. Lots of cattle gates to cross and the road can get narrow in a few spots which could create some inconveniences for those with larger rigs.

This is an awesome campground. Easy to get to both the north and south unit of TRNP. The hosts were very helpful and the price for electric hookups can't be beat!

Love this campground! Wide open views, beautiful sunsets, sunrises, and moonrises. Bathrooms were spotless and the host mowed every day.

We loved the location and our site. Access to north unit was a short drive. Vault toilet was very clean Was so fun having the prairie dogs as neighbors. Views were A+ 360.
Our only complaint was that when we arrived we found out that there was no water to put in our tank. The camp host told us that the well had been struck by lightning 2 weeks prior and was still out of commission. We had driven from Duluth,Minnesota with very little water and so we were stuck with very little for our 3 days stay.
If we had been given notice we would have been prepared.
We didn’t find the camp host to be friendly at all. Never stopped by to check on how we were making out minus water.
I guess Recreation.gov was at fault for not notifying us of the situation.
A 5 star rating otherwise.
Will recommend highly

Absolutely gorgeous campground with spectacular views and immediate access to hiking/biking trails. As close as you can get to TRNP north unit without being in the park itself. It was great to have electricity hookup here!

Spot 23 is the best spot. Unfortunately it was booked. We stayed in 22 for one full week. If we didn't have plans we would have signed up for Camp Host. This is how much we liked this site. Although the sites only had 50AMP electric, it was well worth it. I recommend getting water cans. There are at least 5 places to fill water. The camp host site has full hook ups.
