Island Park Campground is praised for its cleanliness, particularly the well-maintained bathrooms, and offers a beautiful setting near a creek, perfect for fishing and wildlife watching, including moose sightings. Reviewers appreciated the friendly and helpful campground host, Deb, despite the absence of a host during some visits. Some minor issues were noted, such as water quality concerns and noise from large groups, but overall, visitors expressed a strong desire to return to this charming and rustic campground.

We stayed 4 nights. The campground was easy to get to off the main Hwy. the 3mile dirt road was compact and gravel well maintained. The bathrooms had his&hers and they were very clean, sanitized well stocked. The campground was clean and easy to park.

Nice shaded campsite next to the creek and the individual spots were spaced reasonably far apart. There are no hiking trails near the campsite

My family loved our night at site #7 before backpacking for 4 days from the West Tensleep Lake trailhead. We even saw a moose in the creek as soon as we pulled up to the site. The pit bathrooms were some of the best maintained I've ever seen.
