Nice campground. We had site on river. Clean bathrooms, super nice hosts. About 30 minutes from east entrance to Yellowstone.

This is a nice campground next to the Shoshone River and among some pretty Cottonwood trees with Juniper and Pine also. Only 2 negatives were the campground is a bit old by Wyoming standards as the picnic tables are in disrepair and the pull in for our space (#22) was a backwards layout for our camper door as our door faced the road not the campsite. Other than that the vault toilets were clean and paper was well stocked. There were water hydrants all over the place so you didn't have to walk far to fill a bucket. The hosts were very friendly and hardworking, much thanks for that! Overall a very nice campground.

What a nice surprise to be right along the river and have so many female bighorn sheep living so close. Nice wooded and private primitive campground. Wish there were more hookups though.

This was THE PERFECT spot to explore Yellowstone, hike from the campground, check out the river, and just relax in what I can only describe as Big Thunder Mountain from Disneyland! The rocks around the campground were an amazing back drop for our adventures! If we go back to Yellowstone we will book here again! Highly recommend booking here and if you can get by the river even better!

Yellowstone delayed re-opening campgrounds a couple of weeks which landed right in the middle of our reservation, so we had to stay elsewhere for two nights in the meantime. It was quiet and clean. There are ample water stations and a few restrooms. My only complaint is it is FAAAR from Yellowstone. We were hiking on the west side and in the center of the park, and it was easily a 2-hour drive...each way. I will be staying somewhere else next time.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- 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. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
