This was our maiden voyage in our new RV and our first reservation.gov campground experience. The campground is situated in trees away from the road, so the road noise isn't very apparent. It also has lovely views of the rocks above the river. I was expecting that the river would be easier to access from the sites, but one had to either bushwhack through bushes, or walk down the road to the fishing access area where there is a great walking bridge over the river. The host was also very friendly and informative.
The only issue that we had was that there was a swampy area directly behind our campsite and so at night the mosquitoes were plentiful and fierce. We had to put on a lot of bug spray in order to sit outside. Other sites away from the swampy area might be less buggy. Since we have a hard sided vehicle and don't really need RV hook-ups every night, we might explore some of the campgrounds closer to Yellowstone Park next year.

This is a lovely campground on the river with trees and views of mountains and rock cliffs. We stayed in one of the electric sites. There is a bridge over the river and a trail from the campground that looked amazing, but we didn't have time to really explore it. The bathrooms were clean and the camp host was friendly and helpful. You have to drive east about 7 miles to get any cell service, but this is a great place to get off the grid.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

    • 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.
