Summary
Hunter Peak is a tranquil and beautiful campground by the Clark’s Fork River, making it an excellent base for exploring trails near Cooke City and Yellowstone National Park. While the narrow roads can make backing into sites challenging, the surroundings are serene and well-maintained. Campers appreciate the non-invasive hosts and the stunning natural beauty of the area.

Some of the camp sites are very tight to get a 30 ft fifth wheel trailer into. Camp host is very helpful and friendly! Fishing is close by but the mosquitoes can be to much at times!

Hunters Peak is a small quite campground that is easy to access and well laid out.. Longer trailers have little trouble getting into some campsites but other are fine.
Depending on certain times of the year the mosquitos can be an issue (it was a rainy year last year).
Overall I really like it.

This campsite is a little close to the highway, but the stream running through it drowns out any highway noise very nicely. Beautiful setting.

Gorgeous campground with great access to the Beartooth Highway! Be sure to check out nearby Crazy Creek Falls - they were beautiful! We stayed in site 6 which was right on the river & had great privacy. The camp host was incredibly friendly & told us about nearby places to visit. There were a LOT of mosquitoes, but I think that's fairly normal for this area. Bring lots of bug spray! Some people there had bug zappers which seemed great & helpful, as well as head bug nets.

Hunter Peak Campground is near to many fishing and sightseeing experiences. We didn't get our favorite site, but still enjoyed our stay. The campground host is congenial and takes an interest in every camper.

Amazing host and FS volunteer. They love the area and helping campers enjoy their vacation. They went the extra mile for us and manage lots special efforts such as mosquito traps.
Very small organized little lollipop loop with every spot a winner. We may have had the best one though.
The water was clean and easy to pump, dumpsters were handy at the entrance and the river is stunning. Bring the bug juice for evenings.
It was only about 1/2 hour to the NE entrance of Yellowstone and the hiking around Sunlight
Basin is wonderful. Driving the Beartooth highway may have been the highlight of our trip, but we had many in this spectacular area.
