What Guests Are Saying
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.

Great little campground. Was very quiet with very little road noise. We only stayed one night, getting in late and leaving early. But it was comfortable and we didn't have any issues. I would stay here again if I am in the area.

Great place to explore Northern Yellowstone and no crowds! Small Campground, caretaker is awesome!!! Swimming, fishing, everything you need. Mosquitoes are the only drawback. But it was the end of July, mosquitoes are everywhere. Get some Sawyers permethrin lotion, and stay away from people here. We will never stay inside the park again after being here. Can't wait until next year to go back!

Dennis was very helpful and offered nearby hiking options. Some of the sites are a little close together but for the most part, this campground is quiet and close to Cooke City and Yellowstone NP. We would definitely stay here again. We did have some concerns with road noise but the road sets up a little higher from the campground and was never an issue.

Very pretty campground on the beautiful river. Plenty of room between spots, but difficult to maneuver with a trailer and ours is only 18 feet.

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.

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.

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.
