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.

We were camped at one of the sites that had a ‘low’ pull-in so that it was largely inundated during the heavy rainfalls of last week. Other sites were ‘built-up’ and not inundated. Otherwise, a beautiful campground and acceptable restroom and drinking water availability.

The host did a poor job keeping up with the reservations. Our group reserved spots 2,3,&4 to be together and someone was in spot 3 all three nights.
