Slough Creek Campground offers a fantastic location for wildlife enthusiasts, with sightings of bison and bears, and friendly campground hosts enhancing the experience. Many reviewers appreciated the scenic beauty and quiet atmosphere, making it ideal for hiking and exploring nearby Lamar Valley. However, securing a reservation can be challenging due to limited spots, and some sites are close together, which may affect privacy.

Slough Creek is a very nice campground to stay, especially for hiking in the upper Lamar Valley. However, in hot weather, the lack of shade makes it uncomfortable so that your RV doesn't even cool at night. For that reason I would suggest staying there only when the high temperatures are no more than 70 degrees. Also, it is inexcusable that after two years since the 2022 flood there is still no water. The Park Service can spend money on a helicopter to go to a backcountry cabin to haul out equipment, instead of using horses, but not fix the water in a campground? That's inexcusable. Another example of their administration first, visitor last, management approach.
