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.

Amazing campground. Easy access to Beartooth Highway and Chief Joseph. Camp host was fantastic and offered a number of "tips and tricks" for enjoying the area!

When we entered the West Yellowstone entrance to that National Park nobody knew the name of the campground, it seemed too far for us to drive, and we easily found sites inside Yellowstone National Park. My experience there and earlier at the Grand Canyon National Park has led me to believe signing up for a campsite on your website before we go to a campgrounds is a waste of time.
Google searches never revealed where this site was located. Something was very wrong.

Nice campground. Very well kept. Camp host was very accommodating. Bathroom was clean. Each site had a bear box. There was a bear inside the campground, actually our campsite. I ran it off by yelling at it. Then the camp host and I went out looking for it and made sure it was gone. He had an old air siren we used. We had some deer pass through as well. We will be back.

Hunter Peak Campground was one of the cleanest, as well as quiet and enjoyable National Forest Campgrounds I have stayed in. Lots of beautiful scenery and good fishing within close proximity. Great week of camping.
