Never saw the host. Bathrooms very clean. Its our favorite spot if we get there early enough in the year to miss the open pasture cattle grazing!! Cows mooing at 6 am not that restful. 😀

Great campsite (#7) conveniently located near toilet and bear box. Loved proximity to North Tongue, Tie Flume, and Sibley Lake. Saw moose, elk, mule deer, Sandhill cranes and Great Horned owls. Camp hosts very friendly.
