Truly amazing campsite - creek sounds, wandering bison and proximity to wolves. Between backcountry and front country camping.

Awesome campground in Lamar Valley. Bison wandered past the tent twice while we were there. The creek is gorgeous for swimming in. Saw wolves and bears feeding together on a bison carcass just down from the campground - a dream come true. Restrooms are spotless but no water - bring your own.

This campground is extremely close to Lamar valley, which is pretty fun. It’s also where all the wolf watchers go to spot wolf packs. We were lucky enough to see a wolf on the other side of the creek.
The campground itself had very nice restrooms and the camp host is super friendly. I would have preferred a site on the creek, but our site was ok. The mosquitos are HORRIBLE!
