Great campground with large sites that are big rig friendly, also had 30 amp service (sites 1-20) and water fill (see pictures). One side dry camping, other side hook up camping. Rec Gov has incorrect information listed about the electric and water hookups so see pictures attached. Our site #4, was sunny almost all day and with the heat, we wouldn't stay in that site again. Great for solar tho... Around 8:30-9am each morning, RVs would drive through looking for an open site as some are reservable and others are FCFS. The only complaint were the toilets. So full of flies and long overdue for a pump out. They were unusable! We have a 34' motor home with a tow and had no problems navigating the inner roads of the campground.

This campground was beautiful. Our site backed right up to the river. It was quiet and private tucked back in the trees. We enjoyed walks along the river and watched Big Horn sheep on the cliffs across the river. We also enjoyed walking the trails through, and around, the campground. We loved our stay so much that we found an available campsite and stayed an extra night.

We spent one week at the campground in space 4 East side. We absolutely loved it! Very quiet, primitive but felt safe. We were self-contained in a motorhome and had electric hookup. We traveled over 1200 miles to Yellowstone, Jackson, Cody and hiking and would love to return. The hosts were excellent and the campground was great.

    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee.
