Tranquil, beautiful place by the Clark’s Fork River. Good jumping off point for trails near Cooke City and Yellowstone Park.

A quiet and serene place to stay by the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone river. A good jumping off spot for trail hikes and travel to the northern part of Yellowstone NP.

Take caution on this one. My site said 39 ft, yep you could do that. The very narrow road makes it extremely difficult to back into. I had to go backwards only one way Road to back into my site. No one was checking site occupancy and I had to ask someone to leave my site. Be bubbling River only steps away was beautiful including the whole Forest Area.

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.

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.
