This small campground is in a great location to explore nearby Porcupine Falls, Bucking Mule Falls, Paradise Falls and Medicine Wheel. We were in campsite #15. Unless you want to put your tent up out in tall grass and weeds with uneven ground, look for the small flat area under the trees, just big enough for our 11x9 tent. Easy walk to vault toilet, which was not as clean as others we have stayed at.

Our reservation was not held by the campground host and other campers were in our site when we arrived. The campground host was nowhere to be found. Luckily we got assistance from the good folks at the Wyoming High Country Lodge who directed us to other camping options.

Can't recommend this spot more. Right on Porcupine creek and only 5/6 mi from Porcupine falls (where you can swim right by the stunning waterfall). The campsites are so spacious and have beautiful surroundings. Two trash bins and two restrooms on either side of the campground. No service and no bear boxes. Will absolutely stay again.

I don't know how Gallatin Canyon Campgrounds are securing contracts with the Forest Service, but if my experience with their outfit is any indication of how they are operating other campgrounds on the mountain, I can't imagine they should remained contracted for long. I have never been treated so poorly as a campground, by a camp-host no less, in all of my years camping both in the Big Horns and around the country. I highly recommend you take measures to address the non-sense going on by these sites operated by Gallatin Canyon Campgrounds, they are giving the Forest Service a bad name, and bad image.
