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.

Very clean 10 site campground. Some road noise with busy weekend traffic. The campground host is doing an excellent job. I found it to be a great location to car camp while doing day hikes in the Absaroka-Beartooth wilderness.

Clean and quiet. Campground host does an excellent job of signing to let you know what spot are available and when.
Fishing was poor.

The site that he had reserved was actually too small for our camper, although our camper is only 27'. We were able to switch to another site, #8 which was much better. We loved the campground and hope we can return again to stay longer. It was beautiful and quiet and we enjoyed the the river running through it.

Great, small campground. Camp host was great. Helped us understand what our limitations were due to the flooding. Hiking trail literally across the street

We were only there for one night, but want to return to this beautiful, quiet area. The flood had closed some sites, but luckily, not ours. The camp host greeted us and told us about the flooding and some places to go. Super clean pit toilet. They have the bear food storage boxes I like that are up higher on longer legs with the door opening downward so you have a platform to maneuver your items easier. And I loved falling asleep to the sound of the river.

Wow! So Many Mosquitoes! Not sure if it was because of the 2022 flood they had there a month earlier or if that is just the way it is. However, one of the cleanest campgrounds I’ve stayed at , all because the host cares and seems to take pride in it. The host, Dennis, was kind and welcoming. He suggested a few hikes for my sister and I to explore, one of which was a beautiful hike to some falls.
The campground was smaller than expected and the campsites were too close for my liking, however they were all filled when we stayed.
